BILL OF RIGHTS, COLUMBIAN CENTINEL NEWSPAPER,BILL OF RIGHTS, COLUMBIAN CENTINEL NEWSPAPER, 1792 Ratification of the Bill of Rights. The Columbian Centinel. Boston; Wednesday, March 21, 1792. printed by Benjamin Russell. volume XVII [17], number 3, total number 825. Four pages, pages [9]-12 and printed in four columns.Continuing the work of its predecessor, the Massachusetts Centinel and the Republican Journal, the Columbian Centinel was considered highly influential and boasted one of the highest circulation numbers in Boston. This issue includes several notices regarding state legislative acts to ratify the Bill of Rights. It begins with the text: "Ratification's of the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States." Following Virginia's vote in December 1791, the required number of states had passed ten of the twelve amendments. On March 1, 1792, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson sent a circular to the governors of the states, including the articles that had been ratified, which became the Bill of Rights, as well as the two proposed amendments that had not been ratified but were still in question, as the action of the Massachusetts legislature in 1790 had not been transmitted to Jefferson. These state notices encompass the entire first page and a large portion of the second page where they conclude. The paper also includes contemporary advertisements and several articles documenting the workings of the early republic, the invention of a steam jack, and a letter from Arnold Hunter concerning the Northwest Indian.

GEORGE BRYANT SIGNED PAYMENT DOCUMENT,GEORGE BRYANT SIGNED PAYMENT DOCUMENT, 1779 Revolutionary War dated original Manuscript Document Signed, "Geo. Bryant," at Philadelphia, PA. George Bryant (1731-1791), Vice President of Pennsylvania (analogous to Lieutenant-Governor) 1777-1779. Payment document signed by him as vice president of Pennsylvania, at the state house later known as Independence Hall. Bryant was born in Dublin, Ireland, and came to Philadelphia in1752. As an active Presbyterian, Bryan in the late 1750s and early 1760s played a role in trying to hold together two factions that had emerged during the Great Awakening. This struggle led him into provincial politics where he fought the proprietors and the strong Quaker faction that sought to make Pennsylvania a royal colony. When the Stamp Act was passed in 1765, Bryan helped resist the oppressive act by joining other Philadelphia merchants in signing the Non-Importation agreement. This action likely contributed to his bankruptcy in 1771. After Pennsylvania adopted a new state constitution in 1776, he became an advocate of the radical unicameral government. In the new government, Bryan served from 1777-1779 as Vice-President of the Supreme Executive Council. In 1779 he was appointed a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania.
