| Item Description: | Signed: Richard Jordan. ... Amesbury, July 9, 1776. John Mycall was the sole proprietor of the printing office in Newburyport, Mass., at this time. The only known copy, held by the American Antiquarian Society, lacks the upper portion of the sheet, containing "the foregoing resolve" referred to in the title. The resolve is presumably that passed by the Massachusetts General Court on Feb. 16, 1776, for encouraging domestic paper manufacture, and which prompted the paper manufacturer Hugh McLean and Co. of Milton, Mass., to also offer three coppers per pound for white linen. Cf. Bristol B4243. Jordan apparently never completed the paper-mill at Amesbury, but in 1777 erected the first paper-mill at Exeter, N.H. Printed area measures 23.4+ x 20.2 cm. Not in Evans or Bristol. Electronic resource. |
