Could someone please tell me what the "late fatal calamity" was and when it happened? Evidently some of the names in this register were already printed at the time of the calamity but were published anyway. Send info to: RickeyRoot@ aol.com
The NEW BALTIMORE DIRECTORY and ANNUAL REGISTER for 1800 and 1801. Containing, The Names, Occupations, and Places of Abode of the Citizens, Arranged in Alphabetical order. Also, A List of the Duties, Payable by Law, on all Goods, Wares and Merchandise: together with, A General Abstract from the Revenue Laws; And many other articles of equal utility, for which see Contents, Page 5. [Preface states: the names were collected before the late fatal calamity that prevailed in this city, and the sheets containing those names actually struck* off. Many may probably be induced to inquire, why are they here inserted? the question is a fair one: yet we can reply, that though on business their names will not be inquired for, still it will produce a gratification to surviving relatives, while it preserves on record, to the memory of departed worth, the names of many of our fellow citizens; in this case, we do not deem their insertion improper.], 1800-01, WARNER & HANNA, pub. Baltimore; by Warner & Hanna, Printers & Booksellers, No. 37 Baltimore street, corner of South Gay street.
