Notes
Only known copy, held by the Duke University Library, lacks colophon and authorial credit. Richmond's smallpox inoculation campaigns of the 1790s were led by the city's first mayor and Revolutionary War surgeon, Dr. William Foushee (1749-1824), so the attribution here; Foushee is seen as a subscriber to a variety of imprints issued from several presses there in his lifetime, so assigning this to a specific press is unworkable without further evidence.
