text	I am of opinion if a printing press were set up in Jamaica it would be of great use, and benefit for publick intelligence, advertisement, and many other things. But to prevent abuses, that might attend such a liberty, there should be but one, and that to be licensed to the Govr. for the time being. (en) The establishment of a printing press in this Island [...] proved a considerable convenience to the Government, and the commercial body of that day. The mercantile consignments were then publishend, and with facility circulated. The previous method employed to give notoriety to the arrivals of articles of mart, was having a written list attached to door posts of the respective stores, or by engaging a [slave] to proclaim the catalogue through the streets.
