General note | "It was first intended to print it in Virginia ... On account of the high price of paper, printing and binding in Richmond, it became necessary to publish the book in Baltimore. The edition consisted of at least 2500 copies, some of which were destroyed by fire in Washington, where they had been sent from Baltimore, to the Reverend O.B. Brown, chaplain to Congress and clerk of the treasury office. Into this office he had taken them where he was engaged, only a few days before the British burnt the building and the books."--Sabin 83623 |
