About This Item
Albany: Printed by Charles R. & George Webster, 1792. . 8vo, late 19th century black cloth, faded,bound in Richmond, Virginia Howes P30. First published in 1780 and reprinted in "The Writings of Thomas Paine", published in 1792 by the same publishing house, with the same signed gatherings. It seems likely that as Virginia relinquished its claims in 1792, a separate printing of this particular pamphlet was struck off for those particularly interested in the issue. Institutionally relatively common, but scarce in trade
