Two states noted by Miller. "In copies of this almanac meant for sale in the Northern Colonies Franklin directed Hall to insert on p. 34 [i.e., 36] the 'Superior Courts for New-England' in place of the usual roads north and south. The text of the stop-press insertion is with minor alterations the standing type of the version of the New-England Courts inserted in some copies of the Poor Richards for 1748 and 1749."--Miller. Bristol entry B11235 records the state with 'Superior Courts for New-England' on pages [36].
