| dc.description.abstract | "I have thought it my duty to collect some sentiments from a certain very scarce book, entitled an Historical essay on the English Constitution [by Allan Ramsay], and publish them, with whatever improving observations our differing circumstances may suggest ..."--p. 4. "Pages 41-46 contain the Declaration of Independence. As the advertisement at the end is dated July 8, 1776, this is probably the first publication of the Declaration in book form made."--Evans. Running title: The English Constitution. Publisher's prospectus, p. [47]. |
