Item Description:"A short account of the life, conversation, parting advice, and execution of Whiting Sweeting--by William Carter."--p. 48-54. - Bristol and McDade suggest [Albany?, 1791] as place and date of publication. The edition printed by Silvester Tiffany of Lansingburgh (Evans 23814) includes an advertisement criticizing a "spurious publication, by Mr. Barber," and the present edition has been taken to be that publication, printed by John Barber at Albany in 1791. However, from the exchange between Tiffany and John and Robert Barber throughout September in the American spy (Lansingburgh) and the Albany register, it appears that Barber published not a pirate edition of Sweeting's Narrative, but rather an entirely separate work on the same subject. The present edition follows the text of the Narrative as published by Sweeting, and therefore seems not to be the Barber publication criticized by Tiffany. - Bristol, B7835. - McDade, T.M. Murder, 960a. - Shipton & Mooney, 46293
