Removed from previous binding; weak spine; marginalia. Good or better. Much of pages 286–287 is given over to Rufus King's report to the Massachusetts House of Representatives on the affairs of the United States as they pertain to Massachusetts. He notes that "the alloy and value of coins having been established by Congress, a mint would probably be soon erected, and a coin with an American impression relieve the citizens under their distresses arising for the want of money."
