this press was in operation at Philadelphia in the year 1825, being then still under the management of Willam Bradford, of New York, a great-great-grandson of the original founder of it in 1685.

He left "no son of his succeeding."—"Commemorative Address on William Bradford," John William Wallace, p. 93. This citation covers the entire Note B.
