A History of Printing in Colonial Maryland

a single issue, that of July 9, 1779. It is likely that Hayes's Maryland Ga-
zette ceased to be published soon after this date.

The inauguration of a newspaper in Annapolis by Hayes seems to have
aroused the Greens to a resumption of their Maryland Gazette, for on April
30, 1779, the last day of the month in which the intruding printer had be-
gun his new publication, Frederick and Samuel Green resumed the print-
ing of the journal which their father had begun in the year 1745, and which
they and their descendants now proceeded to carry on for sixty uninter-
rupted years.

The foregoing sketch of Baltimore printing in the colonial period does
not do justice to the early typographical history of that town, for the rea-
son that in its pages William and Mary Katherine Goddard have been men-
tioned only incidentally. Their activities, to which the ensuing chapter is
devoted, add importance and a touch of color to the story of disappoint-
ment and failure which is the burden of the tale here concluded.
