  • Although the prefatory Advertisement is dated Jan. 30, 1788, the publication was not advertised in the newspapers until May, the first notice appearing in the New-York Packett of Samuel and John Loudon for Friday, May 2, 1788. An Advertisement and recommendation appear in Thomas Greenleaf's New-York Journal and Weekly Register for Thursday, May 8, 1788 ... Mr. Lee was in New York city during October, 1787, when letters 1-5 were written, but he returned to Virginia at the beginning of November. It is possible, therefore, that this continuation was printed at Richmond, although it may have been done at New York.
