ADDITIONAL NOTES. 



Note (II), page 93. — AFTER taking much pains to ascer- 

 tain the nunnber of newspapers printed in the United States, 

 the author is enabled to present the following list. He dares 

 not assert that it is accurate or complete ; but it is as nearly 

 so as he could make it. It is proper to observe, however, 

 that, as the materials which form it were collected at diiFe- 

 rent times in the years 1801 and 1802, it is not improbable 

 that some of the papers mentioned have been since discon- 

 tinued, and others established. The real number may cer- 

 tainly, however, be considered, in the gross, as rather greater 

 than that which is here presented. 



In New Hampshire there are ten newspapers ; viz. three at 

 Portsmouth; one at Concord; one at Dover; one at Gilman- 

 town ; one at Amherst ; oneatKeene; one at Walpole ; and 

 one at Dartmoutli. They are all published once a w eek. 



In Massachusetts there are twenty -six newspapers ; viz. 

 five at Boston, each published twice a week ; two at Salem ; 

 two at Newburyport ; two at Worcester ; one at Brookfield ; 

 one at Springfield ; one at Northampton; one at Pittsfiold ; 

 one at Dedham ; one at Stockbridge ; one at New Bedford ; 

 one at Haverhill; one at Leominster; three at Portland; 

 one at Augusta; one at Castine; and one at Greenfield; — 

 all published weekly. The four last-mentioned towns are in 

 the province of Maine. 



In Rhode Island the number of gazettes has not been as- 

 certained. It is believed there are four ; viz. two at Provi- 

 dence, and two at Newport, each published twice a week.
