For fuller accounts of John Mein, see my "John Mein, Publisher: An Essay in Bibliographic Detection," in the Papers Bibl. Soc. America, XXXVI (1942), 199-214, and "John Mein: Scourage of Patriots", in the Publications of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts, XXXIV (1943), 571-99. In each, references will be found for most of the statements here made.
