WHEREAS a certain William Mentz
has printed and published for sale, without
my knowledge or consent, a pamphlet entitled
" The Vision of Thomas Say," which is but an in
correft and imperfect part of what I prepofe to
make public; neither do I know how or where he
got the copy, as I never intended what I have
wrote on that head should be published during my
life, The publishing any thing in any man's name
without his knowledge or consent is, in my opini
on, very unjuftifiable, and often attended with ill
consequences : It is therefore hoped the public will
difeourage such unwarrantable practices, by not
purchasing the said pamphlet ; and all printers are
hereby desired not to aid or assist the said Mentz, or
any one else, in such wrong proceedings, which
will oblige their friend,
THOMAS SAY.
