If he succeeded in selling this apparatus, he had
other material with which he continued to print, On
November 26, George and Henry Keatinge advertised:

Notice to printers, &c. Forty dollars reward.
Stolen out of the printing office of Christo-
pher Jackson, Market Street, 500 of the first
half sheet of Citizen Adet's Note to the secre-
tary of the United States, from page 3 to page
11. They were folded up in quires - the person
who has got them is well known - we offer the
above reward only for home conviction.

Nothing more is heard of Citizen Adet's Note. At
about the same time, Philip Edwards published the same
text as a supplement in pamphlet form to his Maryland

127

Journal. It is most unlikely that this publica-
tion stolen from Jackson's printing office was the
same.. It was a document apparently in great demand
at the time, and the Keatinge brothers, booksellers,
had. commissioned Jackson to print it for them. Ed-
wards' publication hardly would have been lying in
sections in the Jackson office. No copy remains of
the Jackson pamphlet, but it can be said with certain-
ty that it was printed by Jackson at this time.¹²⁸

As has been seen, Phi lit) Edwards began - and
ended - the publication of the Sunday Monitor on
December 6, 1796. Only a month later, Baltimore was
Presented with a second Sunday paper, the Weekly

126 Maryland journal. November 26, 1796.
