This work was initially published in Hartford in 1813, with a number of other immediate editions in N. Y. , Trenton, and Philadelphia. This Baltimore edition apparently was the first to include an account of hostilities in an expanded 60 page section. According to Howes, "some copies (of the Baltimore edition) sent to Washington, were burned by the British."
