Attributed to Thomas Jefferson in the Papers of Thomas Jefferson, v. 7, 1953.

Apparently some copies were printed as an appendix to Jefferson's "Notes on the state of Virginia," Paris, 1785; others were printed separately from the same types.  See Jeffersons Papers, v. 7, p. 157-158, and p. 186.

An early version of this title appeared in the July 24, 1784 issue of the "Providence Gazette and Country Journal." That was the version that appeared before the Continental Congress as a part of its "Propositions respecting the coinage of gold, silver, and copper," [New York?, 1785?] See Jefferson's 'Papers,' v. 7, p. 157-158.

Signatures: 7 unsigned leaves, in 8s, with the last leaf missing.

Dated (p. 11) Annapolis April 1784 and (p. 14) Annapolis May 9, 1784. Evans erroneously supplies Annapolis, 1784 as the place and date of publication.
