Henry Knox writes about himself in the third person. Although he already has a set of the Federalist, he gratefully accepts a set given as a gift by Mr. William [illegible, but possibly Lennox], who has created a "beautiful specimen of the great advancement he has made in noble art of printing, and in the business of book binding."
