Petition asking Incorporation of Martinsburg as a City.

• imprint_number: 1810.099
• title: To the honourable ... General Assembly ... inhabitants of the town of Martinsburgh ... pray, that the said town shall be encorporated ...
• sequence_number: 99
• year: 1810
• place_issued: Martinsburg
• issuing_press: John Alburtis
• author: Inhabitants of Martinsburg.
• notes: Effort failed in this session, Martinsburg was not incorporated as a city until 1868, and then by an act of the legislature of the new state of West Virginia.
  Sheet lacks colophon; clearly a petition from Martinsburg where the only press was then conducted by John Alburtis; so the attribution here.
