Summary

Description
English: Title-page of 'A Grammar of the Punjabee Language' (1812) by William Carey of the Serampore Mission Press.

According to Sahar Afshar, the actual date of publication is actually early 1813. She states the following regarding this:

"Furthermore, in the preface it is clearly stated that the book was published in 1812. However, it was common practice for the Serampore Missionaries to print title pages first and then proceed to print the remainder of the edition, which would sometimes not be in the same year as that stated in the preface. In another letter to Rev. Fuller dated 25 March 1813, Carey gives an account of being extremely preoccupied with his work at the press, and that he had ‘the last sheet of the Punjabi grammar is in the press’, which shows that this was indeed the case for the Panjabi Grammar, the publication of which, in all actuality and by Carey’s own account, was completed in 1813."

–– Sahar Afshar in "Gurmukhi printing types: an historical analysis of British design, development, and distribution in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries" (April 2022, Birmingham City University)

The modern-spelling of "Punjabee" is 'Punjabi' or 'Panjabi'.
