Notes

'Often attributed to William Livingston [governor of New Jersey and a signatory of the American Constitution]. However, the Library of Congress copy bears a ms. note in the hand of Thomas Jefferson, attributing the work to "John Stevens of N. Jersey." Shipton & Mooney note that the draft, in Stevens's hand, is at the Stevens Institute'. See: https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/4899314.
