  No copy known extant; Swem recorded title from order to Pleasants on December `13, 1810, to print 250 copies for the use of the Assembly in its deliberations, so the attribution here; yet content can only be discerned from published proceedings of this session in Pleasants's Virginia Argus, and not from Swem's bibliography or the official record.
