PRINTING IN CHARLESTOWN. 1785-1836.
On p. 14 of the above Address it is stated that "a Society is about to be instituted ; whose object will be to collect, compose, print, and distribute small religious traots," and until its organization "the charitable and pious may be furnished at the Bookstore of Mr. Samuel Etheridge of Charlestown, on very reasonable terms." Besides this tract (and one below by Davidson) the titles of twelve are given on its blue covers, and they seem to be 14 of the 19 distributed by the pastor and people of the First Parish, C., to a greater extent than by any other persons in N. E. up to that time, 32,600 copies having been circulated by them (Bib., p. 39). "A Church," and "Short Sermons," 1804, seem to have been two more of them.
