In an endnote on page 225 of his book _The First Emancipator: The
Forgotten Story of Robert Carter, the Founding Father Who Freed His
Slaves_ (New York, 2005), Andrew Levy cited the following title:

Armitage’s Impartial List of the Ladies of Pleasure of Williamsburg, with
a Preface by a Celebrated Wit (Williamsburg, 1775).

Last night I did on-line title/subject searches in several major libraries
(Lib of Congress, Lib of VA, VCU, UVA, Va Hist Soc, Colonial Williamsburg
and W&M) - all of which came up NEGATIVE - as did on-line searches of the
Evans Bibliography of early American imprints and the Virginia Gazette
index on the CW Rockefeller Library website.

Is anyone familiar with this title?
