in London for many years, it is possible that it was
done at his Musical Repository in Baltimore. It seems
more likely, however, that the music was printed at
the place mentioned first on the title-page;¹² and
therefore only those works carrying Baltimore either
alone or first in the imprint have been included in
the appended bibliography of Maryland publications.
Apparently Benjamin Carr's publishing activities ceased
in Philadelphia about 1800;¹³ from about that date the
Baltimore branch of the firm is consistently given
precedence on the music issued by the Carr's.

In January, 1800, Joseph Carr began the Dublica-
tion of his best known work, his Musical Journal for
the Piano-Forte,¹⁴ edited by his son Benjamin, some
of whose compositions appear in its pages. The Musical
Journal was issued in two parts, vocal and instru-
mental, and continued until 1803; during 1800, at
least, a similar periodical was issued for the flute

and violin.¹⁶ Many reprints from this periodical were
made by the Philadelphia firm of Carr and Schetsky,
which succeeded Benjamin Carr's Musical Repository.
