[Advertisement] Whereas Titan Leeds has been pleased to send forth a scandalous Advertisement against William Bradford, saying, He has forged an Almanack in my (Titan Leeds) Name, which is a Damage to me, and an Imposition upon the Publick,

These are therefore to inform all Person, That the above Assertion of Titan Leeds is a base and notorious Falshood; for altho’ his Almanack is Re-printed, upon perusal we find it to be the same with that which is said to be printed at Philadelphia (the Errors in the first Impression excepted) and it is but Justice to the Buyers that the Errors therein should be corrected, the Time of holding Courts in New-York and New-Jersey being all wrong. And whether W. Bradford Re-printed said Almanack or not, he claims a Property in it, because about five Years ago he agreed with Titan for his Copy so long as W.B. liv’d, for a certain Sum of Money, (which Agreement he has under Titan’s Hand) and paid him £20 in Part, and the Remainder he sent in 3 Weeks after he wrote for it. But in the interim the famous Sam. Keimer steps in and offers Titan more Money for it, Titan accepts, and sells it a second Time. When William Bradford told Titan he would sue him for the Nonperformance of his Agreement, Titan writes several Letters, praying W.B. not to sue him, because it would Ruin him, and he would pay back the Money; and by the Intreaty of some Friends W.B. did forbear to sue him, or reprint the Almanack, altho’ (as he told Titan) he claimed a Property in it.

Upon the said Bradford’s being thus disappointed, Felix Leeds (Titan’s Brother) publishes an Almanack; No sooner came this forth but Titan and Sam. Keimer send out their Advertisements, and tell the World, That Felix could not write an Almanack, That it was a Counterfeit, a Cheat and Imposition upon the Publick; and this base and abusive Method they continued Year after Year without any Provocation, and W. and A. Bradford lay under their Scandals without Interruption. This Year his Almanack is Re-printed, and he says W.B. has done it, but perhaps he may find himself mistaken, altho’ he claims a Property in it. And perhaps it will be Reprinted until such Time as Titan and Keimer make Satisfaction for the Money, and the gross Lies and Abuses they have cast upon the said Wm. and Andrew Bradford, as well as for Keimer’s Reprinting several Books upon them, to their Damage of above £200. And it’s but a just Reprizal if they Re-print upon him.

And Friend Titan is hereby advertised, That he may expect to be handled in another Manner than this Advertisement, for his so free Charges of Villany, Forgery, Counterfeit, &c.
