Musical magazine. No. 3 or 4?
Baltimore? 1795?

1 number?
In William Beer's Checklist of American periodi-
cals, this publication is described as: The Musical
magazine. 1792-1799, no. 1-5. 12 mo. Cheshire:
William Law, 1792-1793, Baltimore: 1793-1795;
Philadelphia: 1799. (By Andrew Law)
Gertrude Gilmer's Faryland magazines - antebellum,
1793 to 1861, and J. Metcalf's American psalmody
have almost identical information.
The Federal intelligencer of January 1, 1795,
lists the Musical magazine together with other pub-
lications of sacred music by Law as "For sale, by
John Hagerty, Clarke and Keddie, and James Rice
and co... at their respective stores, Baltimore."
The Dictionary of national biography (v. 11,
p. 38) states that "books of his [Law's] music were
printed there [in Baltimore] until 1795." No
titles are mentioned. None of Law's publications
printed in Maryland have been located by the writer.
Evans lists numbers one through four (items
24464, 25708, 27206, and 28955) as published in
Cheshire, Connecticut; and number 5 (item 35719)
as published in Philadelphia. Numbers one through
four, according to Evans, have Connecticut district
copyrights.
The Inclusion of the Musical magazine here is ex-
tremely questionable. It has been listed because
of the information in Beer, Gilmaer and Metcalf,
specified above.
