Notes AAS Notes: A series of 16 letters originally published by Duane from Aug. 13 to Sept. 19, 1810 in the Aurora, Philadelphia, under the pseudonym of Franklin. While Duane was chairman of the Pennsylvania state committee on roads and internal navigation during the 1809-10 legislative session, the "situation made it my duty to seek for information, and also enabled me to ascertain some of the causes for the backwardness of Pennsylvania, in undertaking works for internal improvements."--Note, verso of title page.
Last page blank.
"Appendix."--p. [111]-125. Includes correspondence, primarily between Thomas Eddy and Charles G. Paleske, regarding transportation and public works projects in the state of New York with a view toward developing similar projects in Pennsylvania.
