Summary note
"Two centuries and seven generations ago a failed printseller from London received good news from the governor's office. On November 11, 1805, Tristram Bampfylde Freeman had, by order of Thomas McKean, Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, been appointed to the office of auctioneer in Philadelphia and set up shot at 177 Market Street. Two hundred years on, we tell his story."--Jacket.
