There was no copy in the Church catalogue, nor in the John Carter Brown, Huth, nor other large libraries recently dispersed; in fact we can find no record of any offering of a copy since the Brinley and Stevens sales of 1880 and 1881. The Brinley catalogue states: This is "A reprint of the First Part of [Some Reasons and Causes of the late Separation, etc]. Copies of the original edition having been sent to England for sale 'the chief Quakers here, having notice of, bought them all up in order to stifle them, which occasions their Re-printing here in England, the 9th of January, 1692-3.'

Preserved in a 4to, half morocco case. [At end:] Approved November 16th, 1798. James Garrard, G. K. By the Governor, Harry Toulmin, Secretary of State. [Lexington or Frankfort, 1798] THIS BROADSIDE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC DOCUMENTS IN ITS EFFECTS, EVER PASSED IN AMERICA, BEING THE EARLIEST OFFICIAL STATE- This copy was discovered, and a second copy was discovered later and passed into a private library in Louisville. Those two copies were all that were known to E. D. Warfield when he prepared his "Kentucky Resolutions of 1798." In 1901, a third copy was discovered, and passed into the hands of E. Dwight Church and is now in the Huntington library. These three copies were in quarto and were undoubtedly the Second Printing. THE PRESENT COPY IS THE ACTUAL FIRST PRINTING OF THIS IMPORTANT DOCUMENT. It is a single sheet, the type measuring 15 x 934 inches, printed in four columns, with the heading "Legislature of Kentucky" in large black capitals extending across the top of the sheet, with a double rule above and below. A comparison of this Broadside with the first page of the quarto edition, shows that the two, except the heading, were printed from the same setting of types, BUT THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THIS FOLIO IS THE EARLIER OF THE TWO. It seems quite probable that this first folio issue was printed for the use of the members of the Kentucky legislature, and that for sending to the Governors of other States, the types were re-arranged, and the neater, more compact four-page issue was prepared. 365.
