Item Description:"Errata."--p. 15. - Herman Mann was printer and publisher of the Columbian Minerva at this time. - In the introduction, signed by H. Mann, Mason is described as an "unfortunate man" with an intellectual system "insufficient to constitute him a moral agent, and consequently that he is not ameanable for, or ought not to answer with his life for the perpetration of the crime." Mann extracted Mason's last words through a series of questions laid, by him, before the condemned man during several visits in the days and hours before his execution. - Shaw & Shoemaker, 2607. - Signed: Attest, Samuel Doggett, D. gaoler
