• imprint_number: 1815.018
• title: Congress. House of Representatives. Speech of Mr. Clopton delivered on his motion to strike out the first section of a bill to "incorporate subscribers to the Bank of the United States of America" ... on the 22d of December, 1814.
• sequence_number: 18
• year: 1815
• place_issued: Richmond
• issuing_press: Uncertain
• author: Clopton, John (1756-1816).
• notes: Sheet lacks colophon; most authorities assign an 1814 date and a Washington origin to this item, based on date of speech; Hummel assigned it to an unnamed Virginia press in 1814.
  John Clopton was a Republican representing congressional district that included Richmond; it was his usual practice to publish letters to constituents through a Richmond press of similar political perspective; so this sheet likely issued from the partisan press of Thomas Ritchie & Daniel Trueheart, but the possibility that it originated at another press, such as that of the fading Virginia Argus, cannot be discounted, so the indeterminacy here.
