Memorial of J. & J.D. Westcott for Printing the Laws of Virginia.
- imprint_number: 1800.068
- title: To the legislature of Virginia: the memorial of J. & J.D. Westcott ...
- sequence_number: 68
- year: 1800
- place_issued: Alexandria
- issuing_press: John & James D. Westcott
- author: John & James D. Westcott [firm].
- notes: Only known copy, in the state archive at the Library of Virginia, lacks printer credit; the text is a petition from the Alexandria printing firm of John & James D. Westcott asking for contract to print the laws of each Assembly session as a way to speed their distribution; that context clearly makes this broadside one of their imprints; it is dated at end in manuscript "Dec. 8, 1800" by a clerk of the House of Delegates, showing date of submission, and so of printing.
