If the author is not known, or if there can be no author
(as in the case of periodicals) the title serves as

main entry.

Blank forms, except those listed in Evans' American
Bibliography have not been included. Forms may be found
at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, the John
Carter Brown Library of Providence, the New York Public
Library, and the United States Customs House, Baltimore.

Since Evans' American Bibliography is the basic
source for the compilation of a bibliography of this
nature, any item not included in Evans' American Bibli-
ography has been designated "Not in Evans." Since Evans
stops with the M's in 1799, no item listed after that
point carries an Evans number, or the designation, "Not
in Evans."

In the case of publications with more than one place
of publication listed in the imprint, those publications
have been included only if the Maryland city comes first
in the imprint, or if it-is clear that the item waa
Pointed in Maryland.

Certain abbreviated forms have been used in refer-

^rir*g to standard bibliographies. They are:
