About This Item
Providence: Printed by Bennett Wheeler, and sold at his Office..., 1786. 24pp, stitched and untrimmed. Scattered foxing, occasional annotations in ink by a farmer about his flocks and crops. Very Good.
With a several-page account of Herschel's recent planetary discovery. Also included are Court schedules, roads and distances, a table of the weight and value of coins. One of several variants, this has the notation in Roman type, 'Eleventh of American Independence' on the title page. It looks like Issue B as set forth in Alden, and repeated in ESTC.
Evans 20139. Drake 12889. Alden 1036. ESTC W5991.
