The exhibit contained items from Sturdevant’s collection, including a copy of the American Museum magazine for September 1787 containing one of the earliest printings of the U.S. Constitution on record. Other items included a copy of the Laws of the United States printed in 1796; a copy of the Federalist Papers printed in 1826; James Madison’s Notes on the Constitution Convention printed in 1840; and an 1894 copy of the Documentary History of the Constitution.
