• notes: Federalist weekly built on remains of Lyford's Candid Review, which ended publication the preceding fall. Initially he used motto "We are all republicans ... we are all federalists" as indication of his intent to censure departures of Republicans from principles that Jefferson stated in his first inaugural address. Following Madison's inauguration, he altered title to Republican Farmer "after the first week in May," so calculated end date reported here, as no numbers survive from this period.
