copy of the petition of Doctors Hyde and Fitch to the General Assembly of the state of Vermont: praying for a medical lottery
Unto which are annexed, the recommendations of sundry gentlemen; and Doctor Duncan's reasons why the prayer of said petition ought to be granted
"Object of the lottery was to raise funds in order to publish a work by Dr. Samuel Stearns. J.C.L. Clark thinks Stearns may have written the appeal himself. He did submit a petition to the General Assembly, Oct. 18, 1798, for the same purpose. Dr. Hyde was from Guilford."--McCorison. Apparently the works were never published.
