Additional Details

Although the preface acknowledges "the grand contest in America," this odd pamphlet then proceeds on a quick tour through each of the "colonies" as if nothing was the matter. The geography and spelling are erratic. Clark, Old South 215; Sabin 15041. No other copies known at auction.
