This was begun September 2d, 1773. In 1775 it was partly destroyed by an accidental fire, but it was sufficiently repaired to serve as barracks for the British soldiers during the war. After the peace it again became a hospital. In this neighborhood, also, was the first reservoir for supplying the city with water, and later the Broadway Theatre. There was a Scotch Presbyterian Church on the north side of Pearl street, a little west of City Hall place, that we have not mentioned. ADDITIONS TO A LIST OF THE ISSUES OF THE PRESS IN NEW YORK, 1693-1752. BY CHAS. R. HILDEburn. Since the publication of my List of the Issues of the Press in New York, 1693-1752, the following additional titles have come under my notice. I shall be glad to receive further additions and corrections to the "List" from any one interested in the subject. The most important announcement among these addenda is that of the New York Gazette for 1743 and 1744. It has not hitherto been noted that this newspaper, begun by Bradford in 1725, did not as Thomas states end before 1743, but was in fact continued under its original title till November 1744, and from then as the New York Evening Post until after March 30, 1752. I have seen no numbers of the Gazette between May 4, 1741, No. 803, and July 14, 1744, No. 976. The latter bears the hitherto unknown joint imprint of William Bradford and Henry De Foreest. When this partnership began cannot therefore be learned, but it was probably in 1743, on Bradford's retirement from business, when for some reason he retained a pecuniary interest in the Gazette, the rest of the work done in the office bearing only De Foreest's name. The last number I have met with, No. 990, was issued on Monday, October 29, 1744, and bears the same imprint as No. 976. The New York Evening Post began on Monday, November 26, just four weeks later, and while the last three numbers of the Gazette and the first three of the Post are not now known to exist, it is fair to presume as the two papers were printed from the same type that De Foreest had finally bought out Bradford and simply changed the name of the paper. It is a matter of great regret that the existing files of the Gazette should be so imperfect. Of the two in New York City, that in the New York Society Library, running from No. 21 to 211 lacks 20 intervening numbers, and that in the collection of the New York Historical Society (not including numbers 101, 754, 755 and 803 which it also possesses) running from No. 237 to 669 lacks 198 numbers. The file in the collection of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania runs from No. 400 to 563, lacking 16 numbers, and is supplemented by numbers 18, 35 to 39, 23 numbers between 657 and 745, 976 and 990. I am not aware of the existence of any other file. * Proclamation, Jan. 9, 1695, appointing Thanks *Act of Assembly regulating Fees. * Act of Parliament for the encouragement of To all whom these presents may concern.
