Only twelve numbers of this paper survive; earliest establishes the starting date reported here; latest known is that of February 28, 1809, showing that it did cease before that date; publication likely ended two weeks later, as March 14, 1809 issue would have completed paper's third volume/year. Bartgis left Winchester at that time, with Lingan keeping press; he issued the succeeding Democratic Lamp from that press in June 1809.
