• notes: Sometime between issues for February 26 and April 1, 1811, Pleasants ceased using suffix "Jr." in paper's colophon, as the older like-named Pleasants (whose presence in Richmond prompted him to use the term from 1793 onward) had recently died; sometime in June 1811, Pleasants removed the motto used in the paper's masthead from its start, so slightly increasing the space available on its front page.
