263. CHASE, SAMUEL. July 18th, 1766.] To the Publick.| I waited upon Mr. Jonas Green
the Printer of this Province, with the following Vindication of myself, from the Aspersions
of Messrs. Walter | Dulany, M. Macnemara, Geo. Steuart, John Brice and U. Scot; pub-
lished against me in the Maryland Gazette Extraordinary of June 19th 1766,| but he re-
fused to give it a Place in his Paper; ..... [Baltimore: Printed by N. Hasselbach. 1766.]?

Broadside. Size uncertain. Only known copy cut in pieces and pasted in vol. 1766-67 of the Maryland Gazette
in MDSL. Is in columns and crudely printed.

Refers to quarrel about local Annapolis affairs and is signed "Samuel Chase", Annapolis, July 16, 1766. Un-
derneath in long hand is statement "This was not printed by J. Green," probably in the hand-writing of one of
Green's family, as this volume was part of the office file of the Maryland Gazette. If not printed by Green, then
it is likely to have come from a Baltimore or Philadelphia press. It is subscribed July 16, 1766 and dated at the
head July 18, 1766. If the first date be that of its writing (see Maryland Gazette for July 17,1766, in which under
date of July 16, 1766, Chase announces that he will soon have his hand-bills ready), and the second date be that
of its publication, there would hardly have been time for the Ms. to have been sent to Philadelphia and put into
type. Hasselbach was, it is believed, operating a press in Baltimore at this time. Evans, No. 10253, suggests
William Rind of Williamsburg as the printer, but the conflict between time and distance is even more difficult to
reconcile in the case of Williamsburg than of Philadelphia.
