From these “weekly bills,” of different dates from 1770 to 1773, I make the following extracts for the purpose of showing collectors the period to which they may safely attribute the manufacture of such specimens as may be in their possession. The extracts are from the “overtime” made by the hands, and are taken hap-hazard, and without any attempt whatever at classification.
