• imprint_number: 1760.003
• title: A letter to the clergy of Virginia, in which the conduct of the General-Assembly is vindicated, against the reflexions contained in a letter to the Lords of Trade and Plantations, from the Lord-Bishop of London. By Richard Bland, Esq.; one of the representatives in Assembly for the county of Prince-George.
• sequence_number: 3
• year: 1760
• place_issued: Williamsburg
• issuing_press: William Hunter
• author: Bland, Richard (1710-76).
• notes: Bland dated his letter "Jordan's, March 20, 1760," clearly marking this as a 1760 imprint. Yet Bristol reported a 1759 edition (B2012) of this title; thus Shipton & Mooney included Bristol's entry in their compiled bibliography (41024) but suggest that he had assumed a publication date from the trans-Atlantic exchange on the subject of the "Two Penny Acts" during 1759, so creating an entry that is a ghost of this edition.
  Imprint includes a reprinting of Rev. Thomas Sherlock's A Letter from the Lord-Bishop of London to the Lords of Trade and Plantations, dated June 14, 1759, as a preface.
