Home industry, the most direct road to national prosperity

Poetry. Printed area measures: 24.1 x 18.9 cm. Printed in two columns; wood-engraving of farm scene at left of title. Internal evidence, e.g. type and unique spacing, strongly suggest Joseph White as printer. He printed in Boston, first in partnership, then alone from 1788 to 1809; in Charlestown, Mass., from 1810 to 1826. Contents suggest imprint date approximation. Ninety-eight lines of verse based on David Humphreys' A poem on industry; first line: Sages conven'd from delegating states. This edition not in Evans, Bristol, Shaw/Shoemaker, Am. Imprints, or Ford.
