다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

MESSRS GODDARD AND ANGELL, Baltimore, Aug. 20. 1791. "BENJAMIN BANNEKER, a free negro, has calculated an almanack for the ensuing year 1792; which being desirous to dispose of to the best advantage, he has requested me to aid his application to you, for that purpose. Having fully satisfied myself with respect to his title to this kind of authorship, if you can agree with him for the price of his work, I may venture to assure you, it will do you credit as editors, while it will afford you the opportunity to encourage talents that have thus far surmounted the most discouraging circumstances and prejudices.
