- Notes:
- Relates to two measures adopted by the Massachusetts legislature, "one a proposition to amend the Constitution of the United States, by apportioning representatives among the states according to the number of free inhabitants; the other, to provide for the choice of electors of president and vice president by a general ticket."--p. [3].
- Of this issue with the spelling "defence" on the title page and an "Erratum" on p. 28, the caption title appears variously as "A defence of the legislature of Massachusetts" and "A defense of the legislature of Massachusetts." Another issue (not in Shaw & Shoemaker) has the spelling "defense" on the title page and the erratum on p. 28, and a third issue (Shaw & Shoemaker 6134) has the spelling "defense" on the title page and no erratum.
