Notes
Sheet lacks colophon; only known copy at the Virginia Historical Society is dated "Richmond, June 30, 1807" in manuscript, so establishing date and place of issue; as Samuel Pleasants was then Virginia's public printer, this item likely issued from his press, given Hallam's status as a state employee; however, the regular subcontracting of such uncommon public work to other presses in Richmond means that a definitive attribution cannot be made here.
