Also requests a single copy of any well-written pamphlet or book from Boston on the subject of the American dispute with the British. Rivington will print it in New York "whilst it shall be quite new to our readers in this province." Rivington was a bookseller, printer, and journalist who came to America in 1760. He published Rivington's New-York Gazetteer. |
