There is also an account of the examination of "a motley-coloured, or pye Negro Girl and Mulatto Boy" from Guadaloupe exhibited before the American Philosophical Society. Early ink stamp on front pastedown; clean copy in a worn binding with the spine dry and rubbed and the joints split but holding tight. Good .
