Notes
Based in rue Menilmontant and rue neuve Berry in Paris.
Adlard worked with his son Jason as foremen for John Hurford Stone's English Press before they set up on their own in Paris and London. Adlard seems to have become the preferred printer for Paine's works outside Britain in a tactic most likely aimed at avoiding prosecution.
