pieces; pp. 45-55: "The Appendix"; p. 52: text of Two-Penny Act; pp. 53-55: "Advertisement. To every serious
Reader in Lunenburg Parish.", signed, "Landon Carter", and prefaced by a satirical paragraph, doubtless by
Camm.

Leaf measures: p. 3: 7| x 67/16 inches. Type page, p. 6: 147 x 112 mm.

For a photographic reproduction of the title page, see Plate VII.

The first part of the Appendix, pages 45-51, contains a correspondence wherein Camm seeks to persuade
Joseph Royle of Williamsburg, public printer of Virginia, to print his pamphlet. Royle declines because of its
"Satyrical Touches upon the Late Assembly." For an account of the literature of the controversy between the
Virginia clergy and the Assembly, arising from the passage of the Act of 1758 whereby the clergy might be paid
either in currency or tobacco, see Clayton-Torrence, Nos. 268, 278, 304, 310, 311, 312. Clayton-Torrence records
also above item, but says that no copy of it has been found. See also Griffin, A. P. C. A Catalogue of the Washing-
ton Collection in the Boston Athenaeum, in which the compiler refers to "a reply to the works of Carter and Bland"
which Camm "brought out in Maryland ..... called 'The Colonels dismounted.'" Clayton-Torrence gives this
title as follows: The | Colonel Dismounted:] or the Rector Vindicated.) In a Letter Addressed to His Reverence:)
Containing | A Dissertation upon the Constitution | of the Colony.)... [Williamsburg: Printed by Joseph Royle.
MDCCLXIV.] (Title page. Text, 30 pp. Appendixes, XVII pp.) Quoting H. J. Eckenrode, he says that the author
was not Camm but Colonel Bland, and describes the work as "Richard Bland's sardonic rejoinder to John
Camm's 'Observations on Colonel Bland's Letter to the Reverend John Camm',... published in Virginia Gazette
October 28, 1763." In the only known copy (Library of Congress) the lower half of the title page has been torn
away. Clayton-Torrence attributes it, in square brackets, to the Williamsburg press, and the internal evidence
of the book sustains the attribution. In attributing it to the Maryland press, Mr. Griffin probably had in mind
Camm's "Single and Distinct View" described above.
