This address to the citizens of New York was of interest to the other states since it contains a statement of the principles
for which the Revolution was being fought. On January 16, 1777 Congress resolved "That the convention of New York be
informed that Congress highly approve of their spirited exertions for the defense of their own, and the state of New Jersey,
against the desolation and ravages of our cruel and remorseless enemy; and that Congress have received the address of the
said convention to the people of that State, containing sentiments highly and generally interesting to the inhabitants of
these States, to whose serious perusal and attention it is earnestly recommended; and that the samt be translated into the
German language, and printed at the expence of the continent " Journals of the Continental Congress. Vol. VII. 1777.
p. 42. Two editions in English were printed at Fish-Kill, one at Norwich, one at Philadelphia and one at Baltimore. The

21. [A Sketch of the Times: Or, The Cabinet Display'd. A Dramatic Piece Of Two Acts, Baltimore:
Printed and Sold by John Dunlap, at the Printing-office, in Market-street. 1777.]
Collation unknown.
This item is listed in Evans who attributes it to Baltimore, probably because of a newspaper advertisement of it in
Dunlap's Maryland Gazette, Jan. 21, 1777, which reads: "Just published and to be sold by John Dunlap at his printing-office
in Market-Street, Baltimore, A Sketch of the Times; or, the Cabinet Display'd. A Dramatic piece of two acts." It is more
likely that it was printed in Philadelphia and several copies were sent down to James Hayes who inserted the advertisement
in the paper that it was just published and for sale.
