Notes
"One extra number was issued, called, 'The Crisis. Extraordinary. Wednesday, August 9, 1775.' paged continuously with the regular issues. In all 91 were printed, or 92 including the 'Extraordinary' one ... It seems probable that the paper was edited by William Moore, who previously had carried on two political papers ... of much the same character." Cf. The Crisis, by P. L. Ford, in the Bibliographer for Apr. 1902.
