    62 pp. + 2 pp. Original 1789 printing, disbound, no binding. Lacks pp. 49-52, 57-60. Does include "Estimate of supplies wanted ." ([2] p. at end; Gould & Morgan 915), which is not present in most copies. An exceptionally rare early Charleston, South Carolina imprint, with remarkable provenance! (see below).
