Place and date of publication are disputed. The opinion of M.C. Tyler (in "Literary history of the American revolution", v. 1, p. 101) that this is the first edition, published at Annapolis in Oct. 1765, is refuted by L.C. Wroth (in "A history of printing in colonial Maryland", entry no. 257), who says place and printer are unknown. J.E. Alden (in "The Boston edition of Daniel Dulany's Considerations ...", New England quarterly, v. 13, no. 4, 1940) presents evidence to support his belief that it was published in Boston by John Mein in Jan. 1766.
Mounted on last leaf is a clipping, containing extracts from the Newport Mercury of February 17 and March 3, 1766, relating to this pamphlet.
