About This Item
[Philadelphia, 1780. 4pp, folded folio leaf. Caption title [as issued]. Old horizontal folds, with short separation along margins at one fold [no loss]. Rubberstamp in blank portion of page 4, releasing the document from HSP. Good+. Signed in type by William Bleckly, Clerk to the Meeting, on page 4.
Reviews of the Meetings of Friends in America indicate that, "The just and charitable endeavors of friends on that continent have so happily succeeded, that the slavery of the poor negroes is nearly put an end to amongst them, and has greatly decreased amongst those of other professions." The Meeting optimistically assesses progress of Quakers in America and on the status of Slavery in the northern American colonies.
This is the American imprint, with the title letter 'L' [in 'London'] directly beneath the 'A' in 'Yearly', and the word 'London' 82 millimeters long rather than 109 millimeters. AAS, which does not own this imprint, says it is "A line-by-line copy of the London edition (ESTC T102626), but set in a completely different font.
See, ESTC W41887 and T102626. According to ESTC this imprint is held only at the Library Company. Not in Evans, Bristol, Shipton, or at AAS.
