London: J. Dodsley, 1789. First Edition. Bound in contemporary

submission signed in type by George Washington. There is also an account 
of the examination of "a motley-coloured, or pye Negro Girl and Mulatto 
Boy" from Guadaloupe exhibited before the American Philosophical 
Society. Early ink stamp on front pastedown; clean copy in a worn 
binding with the spine dry and rubbed and the joints split but holding
