The text of the declaration of independence reprinted in the “news of the year” publication from 1776
In general, the boxes of “rare” stuff from storage I’m going through is just old. A few things are valuable. And then there is a first edition of the “Annual Register” from 1776 that just happens to have news of some little Declaration of Independence
