Harrisburg: Printed by J. Peacock, 1813. First Edition. Octavo, 27 pages, publisher's original blue wraps. An early Pennsylvania government imprint, published during the War of 1812, presenting the annual financial report of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 1813, as prepared by the Auditor General and submitted to the state legislature in accordance with Pennsylvania law. The report provides a detailed account of the Commonwealth's fiscal affairs, including public revenues, expenditures, and financial obligations, offering valuable insight into the economic administration of Pennsylvania during the early years of the American republic. Printed in Harrisburg by James Peacock, the 27-page pamphlet is an interesting example of early Pennsylvania legislative printing and a primary source for the study of the Commonwealth's financial and governmental history during the War of 1812. Contemporary legislation provided for the distribution of 600 copies to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, reflecting the relatively limited circulation of such official publications. Front wrapper, title page, and following leaf with substantial tears and losses. Torn along the spine, with some discoloration throughout, else in good condition. Item #713
