Two interesting and scarce imprints from the Revolutionary period. Of the first work, ESTC records only one institutional copy (John Carter Brown Library), and this appears to be Dunlap's only devoted printing of a South Carolina legal work. The second work was surmised by Evans to have been printed in Charleston, but given that the British did not evacuate the city until December 1782 it is more likely that, as Gould & Morgan suggest, that the work may have been printed by Nathan Childs at Parker's Ferry or by David Rogers at Jacksonsburgh.
