1802.062: Petition seeking changes in Richmond City Elections.
Published: 1802
Full Title: To the General Assembly ... inhabitants of the city of Richmond ... pray ...
Author: Inhabitants of the City of Richmond.
Place Issued: Richmond
Issuing Press: Uncertain
Description: 1 sheet [1 pg.]; 35 cm. x 20 cm. (broadside).
Notes
Petitioners ask that city elections be held annually; only known copy in the state archives at the Library of Virginia has manuscript notation of December 8, 1802, indicating the date it was presented to the House of Delegates; however no changes were made to the city's charter in this regard in the December 1803 Assembly. Sheet lacks colophon; clearly a Richmond title, but the issuing press cannot be determined.
