America: Boston, Printed and sold [by Isaiah Thomas] at the Printing-Office, near the Mill-Bridge [1774] - This is the Petition drawn up by John Dickinson, member of the First Continental Congress, and adopted by the Congress on the 21st of October, 1774. After stating the grievances of the colonies, it says: “To a Sovereign, who ‘glories in the name of Britain,’ the bare recital of these acts must, we presume justify the loyal subjects who fly to the foot of his throne and implore his clemency for protection against them.” We can find no earlier record of this publication, the Bradford edition, printed as an appendix to the Journals of the First Continental Congress, 1774, did not make its appearance until the following year. The present — is therefore without doubt the FIRST SEPARATE PUBLICATION of this im- portant Revolutionary item. Isaiah Thomas, the printer, was at this time being persecuted by ~ friends of the crown, and soon after the publication of this pamphlet, he was induced to pack up, privately, a press and types, and send them across the Charles river to Charlestown, whence they were conveyed to Worcester. This pamphlet may therefore be the last issue from his Boston press prior to the open rupture with the mother country. EXXCEEDINGLY SCARCE.

Virginia surely % has not forget the duty she owes her own reputation. She entered with spirit into the contest, and to cease her exertions just now because she ee has lately borne the weight of a few difficulties, will be as highly dishon-— orable as it is unjust and impolitic. She is not yet in security, nor is the ae. state of our political affairs altogether as favorable as to induce the te: smallest hope of a speedy peace. We have still much to struggle with;- mA much to hope, and much to fear. The efforts of public spirit are the principle means by which we are to support our successe; and by which forego every inconvenience, and pains should be taken by men of prominence to point out the true national interest to the wninformed and igorant part of the community. . . .

The “Table,” however, covers both the “Revision” and the “Session Laws.” That the 1778 Laws (pp.511 to 566 of this volume) were printed sepa- — rately is shown by the fact that pp.509-510 are printed on a half sheet ~ (Bbbb), and by the difference of the paper at this point: that _they were printed later than the “Revision,” is evidenced by the fact that eight. , laws which expired or were repealed during the 1778 session are printed at length in their proper places in the “Revision.” The “Revision,” therefore must have been printed prior to March 6, 1773 (the day the Laws of the 1773 session were ratified) ; while the Laws of the 1773 session must have been printed after that date (see list of these repealed Acts at end of Table). James Davis, the printer of these laws, was the first printer in the Colony of North Carolina. He set up the first press, at Newbern, about 1754. The present issue of the Laws, was his second edition, ‘t‘he sale of the whole [of the first] impression being very rapid,” he says, in his Dedication of this work to Governor Martin.
