Notes
Tucker reported to an unnamed committee of the House on the conduct of a lottery held in 1806 for the benefit of the Richmond Academy, which was then seeking support from the publically-funded Literary Fund, along with several other Virginia educational institutions. Only known copy is held by the Library of Virginia; item lacks imprint or colophon, bearing caption title only; text indicates a Richmond origin, , but multiplicity of presses there makes an attribution to any one of them impracticable without more evidence, so indeterminacy reported here. Item not reported in Swem, so not a state-funded imprint.
