A History of Printing in Colonial Maryland

Published on Monday, Feb. 9, 1747. See Maryland Gazette for Feb. 3d and loth. Sold at is. 6d. The only
known copy, the British Musuem copy, has the "A. M." after the author's name on the title-page inked out,
and on page [1] the date on which the sermon was preached in St Paul's Church has been changed from 1745 to
1746; that is, the "6" has been written in with a pen over what was doubtless a "5". In the advertisement above
referred to this date is given as 1745.

land became the first rector of St. Thomas's Parish, Garrison Forest, in which incumbency he remained until his
