Thomas B. Allen

Acts of Congress

In September 1789, the first U. S. Congress sent to the first President a personal copy of a book, the Acts of Congress. His marginal notes made this 106-page book the most valuable volume in George Washington’s Mount Vernon library. A perfect reproduction was published in 2013 in a slipcase accompanied by Allen’s guide to the contents and provenance of the book.
