[4]

Robert Aitken's estimate, n.d., Papers of the Continental Congress, v. 42, folio 155-56. The estimates of Aitken and other printers are all new materials and have not been previously used.

[5]

The term "weight" is used in most of the estimates rather than "pound" to designate type measurements.

[6]

All of Aitken's estimates are based on the mistaken assumption that there was to be a total final output of 200,000 Bibles, although the original project called for only 20,000 copies.

[7]

Bradford's estimate, Papers of the Cont. Congr., v. 42, folios 167-69.

[8]

Dunlap's estimate, July 10, 1777, Papers of the Cont. Congr., loc. cit., folio 157.

[9]

Miller's estimate, n.d., Papers of the Cont. Congr., v. 42, folios 171-72.

[10]

Sellers' estimate, Papers of the Cont. Congr., v. 42, folio 175.

[11]

Journal of the Continental Congress, VIII, 733-34. It is recorded here that Francis Lightfoot Lee was the only member of the Virginia delegation who voted in favor of the bill, while Joseph Jones and Benjamin Harrison opposed it. John Harvie, Richard Henry Lee. Thomas Nelson, Jr., and George Wythe were absent.
