Edition Notes

Johnstone was hanged for the murder of Thomas Read, "a Guinea Negro." - "My real name is Benjamin Johnstone. But when I came to Jersey changed it, took my brothers viz. Abraham Johnstone."--p. [32].

Ascribed by Evans to the press of Robert Bell. However, the Philadelphia printer and publisher Robert Bell died in 1784, and no one else of that name is known to have printed in Philadelphia in the eighteenth century.
