Summary: A patriotic broadside illustrated with emblems of the United States composed chiefly of typographic elements.

On each side are oval bust portraits of Presidents (left to right) Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison. Above them are small vignettes representing (on the left) Agriculture and Domestic Manufactures, the 'immoveable pillars of the Independence of our country,' and (on the right) Commerce, 'a strong support to our national edifice.' In the upper section of the framework are the seal of the United States and a listing of the names of the seventeen states with their 1810 census figures. Various quotations and brief texts are included, the longest of which are an account of George Washington's resignation of his commission, a description of the geography, government, and people of the United States, and the song 'Columbia' written by 'Dr. Dwight, President of Yale College.'
