A similar advertisement will be found in the "New England Weekly Journal" (Boston), April 9, 1733; printers, S. Kneeland and T. Green:—
"A very likely Negro Woman, that has a child of about six weeks old, to be sold, either with or without the child. Inquire of the printers hereof."
The following was a standing advertisement, a few years since, in the Charleston (S. C.) papers:—
"One hundred and twenty Negroes for Sale.—The subscriber has just arrived from Petersburg, Virginia, with one hundred and twenty likely young negroes, of both sexes and every description, which he offers for sale on the most reasonable terms.
"The lot now on hand consists of plough-boys; several likely and well-qualified house-servants, of both sexes; several women with children; small girls, suitable for nurses; and several small boys, without their mothers. Planters and traders are earnestly requested to give the subscriber a call previously to making purchases elsewhere, as he is enabled, and will sell as cheap or cheaper than can be sold by any other person in the trade.

"Hamburg, S.C. Sept. 28, 1838."
This is taken from the "Jackson (Tenn.) Telegraph," Sept. 14, 1838:—
"Committed to the Jail of Madison County, a negro woman, who calls her name Fanny, and says she belongs to Wm. Miller, of Mobile. She formerly belonged to John Givins, of this county, who now owns several of her children.
