were entered in Ratifications of the Constitution (pp. 1--179). It also contains the contract for the Dutch loan of March 3, 1788.
The entries in the account of John Dunlap for the printing of this volume of the Journals are as follows:
[Note 1: 1 The list of Continental Congress imprints for 1788 is derived from the Register of Accounts, Papers of the Continental Congress, No. 146. In the Register are entered the quarterly accounts of John Dunlap, who appears as the only printer employed by Congress. As Dunlap had no press in New York, it is apparent that the printing was done, as in 1787, by others who had presses at the scat of Congress. Consequently the imprints are not ascribed to Dunlap as has formerly been done. In fact no evidence has appeared as to the printers of the various items of 1788. The numbers in Paul L. Ford, Bibliography of the Official Publications of the Continental Congress (1890) and Charles Evans, American Bibliography are indicated.]
