For nearly a century and a half England had restricted the liberty of the press and the number of printing offices. In 1725 William Parks removed to America and soon became Virginia's public printer.

This booklet tells that story and reprints key passages from Markland's Ode. Printed on Arches Laid on the 200th anniversary of the Bill of Rights and sewn into period style marbled paper. 16 pp. $19.50
