Certain Additional Notes Touching Upon the Subjects of Ignominious Punishments and of the Massachusetts Currency.

The author discusses papers he read at American Antiquarian Society (AAS) meetings which were published in previous issues of the journal regarding currency in Massachusetts and the punishment of criminals. He notes that literature and drama may contain descriptions of criminal punishments and comments on references to the use of labels and branding as punishments in the theatrical production "Henry VI," by William Shakespeare. He proposes cooperation with literature scholars to conduct further research on criminal punishment and discusses a statue for the punishment of those accused of disturbing religious services. He discusses whether plates used for the production of currency in Massachusetts in 1742 were reused in 1744.
