and the first German translation of that same work was
the one printed in Frederick by Matthias Partgis in

1809.16

James Adams, father of Samuel and John, died on
December 11, 1792.17 The sons found it necessary to
devote additional time to the Wilmington office; and
in January of 1794 gave up personal supervision of the
Baltimore branch, as shown by this notice:

Samuel and John Adams return their unfeigned
thanks to their friends and the public in gen-
eral for the encouragement they have already
experienced, and beg leave, while they respect-
fully solicit their further indulgence, to in-
form them, that their printing office is still
continued at the north-west corner of Gay and
Second-street, under the superintendence of
Mr. Thomas E. Clayland, where all kinds of
printing is executed with the utmost accuracy
and dispatch. Advertisements, messages, as-
sembly and advertising cards, circular letters,
&c. are struck off at the shortest notice. They
have always for sale, an assortment of blarks,
viz. manifests, bills of lading, lawyers' blank
declarations, bank checks, blank books, seamen's
articles, apprentices' and servants' indentures,
summonses, petitions, &c. &C.18

Clayland apparently conducted the firm's business
through 1794 and into 1795, for the last books to bear
the Adams' Baltimore imprint appear to be William
Duke's Observations on the Present State of Religion
in Maryland,19 and Jamea Muir's Examination of the

16 Weems, M.L. op. cit. v. 1, p. 50-53.

17 McGulloch, William. Additions to Thomas's
History of printing, p. 132,

18 Baltimore daily intelligencer. January 22, 1794.

19 Appendix A. Imprint bibliography, item 228.
