500 $aFirst printed in Boston : Printed by order of the town of Boston, and sold by Edes and Gill, in Queen-Street, and T. & J. Fleet, in Cornhill, 1770 (Adams, T.R. Brit. pamphlets, 70-5a and Adams, T.R. Amer. pamphlets, 75a)
500 $aThis printing differs from the first with the inclusion of p. 37-38, which are a justifcation of the final paragraph of the report. According to the minutes of the town meeting of March 22, 1770, it was voted to send copies to England. It was this issue that was sent because all the British reprints contain this added justification. Cf. Adams.
