81. [The Maryland Gazette Reviv'd. Dec. 5-Dec. 26, 1732, Nos. 1-4. Annapolis: Printed
by William Parks and Edmund Hall.]

No issues of this year have been located, but the issue of Feb. 2, 1732/33, has title and imprint as above and
is No. 9. It is probable that with Edmund Hall as a partner, Parks found himself able to resume his Maryland
newspaper. Sometime between Apr. 20 and Dec. 28, 1733, Nos. 19 and 51, Parks again became sole publisher.
Sec under 1733.
