8 item(s) on this date were traced afterwards, not recorded as they were written. This number was set before a part declared its source. Each passage was then located by searching the corpus for its own distinctive wording, one item at a time — so what is claimed above is that the work contains the matter, which is checkable, and not that the writer had that work open, which is not. Where more than one work holds the same passage, all of them are listed rather than one being chosen. [D]

The standing tables are transcribed, not composed, so several carry no source of their own: the shipping list, the post, the price current and the fixed no-report wordings are the paper's own furniture.
The Journals and Force are scholarly editions. Their editorial footnotes and cross-references sit alongside the 1776 proceedings. The proceedings are the record; the notes are modern scholarship and are never cited as period.
The newspapers are the style pool, not the content pool. Where one is cited here it is because the paper reproduced a notice or a reprinted item from it.
