Aggiungi al carrelloOne side of single sheet. This Act of the first session of the third Congress of the United States authorized Federal construction of a lighthouse at Cape Hatteras and a lighted beacon at Ocracoke. Although the Act was signed into law by President Washington in 1794, construction of the two navigational aids was contingent upon…the State of North Carolina ceding the land for them to the Federal government. This process along with the construction of the lights were not accomplished quickly; the beacon at Ocracoke was not put into operation until 1798, the lighthouse at Cape Hatteras not until 1803. Separately issued Acts of the early Congresses ("slip laws") such as this were printed in very limited quantities -- in the dozens as opposed to hundreds; they appear only infrequently on the market. NAIP locates copies of this Act at four institutions -- the American Antiquarian Society, Brown University, Library Company of Philadelphia and University of North Carolina. Evans, American Bibliography: 27853. [For a discussion of the print runs of slip laws, see Powell, The Books of a New Nation, United States Government Publications, 1774-1814: pp. 87-99.] Folio. Edges browned. Three stab holes in left margin from prior string tying. Erased pencil markings at head of sheet.
