Mr. Cradock says in advertisement, p. [iv]: "He is sorry, that he could not comply with his Proposals as to the
Time; but he was twice disappointed of his Paper, and then thought it most expedient to wait a little longer for
the advantage of new Types." The apology was not uncalled for. Proposals for the publication of the "New Ver-
sion of the Psalms of David" by subscription at 6 shillings a copy had been advertised first by Mr. Cradock in
the Maryland Gazette for July 23, 1752. In Maryland Gazette for Aug. 4, 1757, he announced that some of the
original subscribers being dead, he had remaining a few copies for general sale. For personal particulars of the
Rev. Thomas Cradock, see references in note under No. 122.
