Extract

When an English merchant set out to collect a debt from a recalcitrant colonial across the water, he was evidently put to it for a type of statement sufficiently imposing in appearance to bring the desired results. One document, bearing the date 1729, among the Society's acquisitions, illustrates the point. The reproduction of the first page which appears opposite gives evidence of the formality followed.
