INTRODUCTION. 


The  Compiler  presents  with  this  volume  the  twenty-first  of  the 
series,  which  he  thinks  is  fully  as  interesting  as  any  of  those  that 
have  preceded  it.  The  matter  herein  presented  deals  only  with  the 
deaths  taken  from  the  issues  of  the  Rhode  Island  American,  con- 
tinued from  last  volume  from  B  to  the  end  of  the  letter  S. 

Again  we  are  thankful  to  the  General  Assembly  for  their  pub- 
lic courtesy  towards  us  in  this  publication. 

We  have  before  expressed  our  appreciation  and  thankfulness 
to  our  friends  who  have  spoken '  kindly  of  our  work  and  again  we 
repeat  that  it  gives  us  renewed  strength  and  energy  to  continue  in 
the  line  of  historical  investigation  to  which  we  have  devoted  the 
best  part  of  our  life.  Our  prayer  is,  may  we  continue  to  merit  this 
confidence  and  good  will. 

In  reading  our  notes  the  reader  will  please  bear  in  mind  tliat  if 
the  Death  is  preceded  by  the  name  of  the  paper  it  means  that  the 
death  is  announced  in  that  issue  as  having  taken  place  previously, 
but  if  the  item  does  not  carry  this  "  American  of "  before  it,  it 
means  that  the  date  given  is  the  date  of  death. 

We  close  by  fondly  trusting  that  our  readers  will  find  their 
usual  pleasure  in  perusing  this,  our  latest  volume.

THE  RHODE  ISLAND  AMERICAN 


The  first  number  of  the  Rhode  Island  American  was  issued 
Friday,  October  21,  1808,  by  Dunham  arid  Hawkins,  William  W. 
Dunham,  editor,  and  David  Hawkins,  Jr.  It  was  printed  at  the 
sign  of  the  American  Eagle,  opposite  the  market.  Terms  three 
dollars  per  year,  half  in  advance. 

The  editorial  announcement  in  the  first  number  stated  proba- 
bly as  the  reason  for  establishing  the  paper  that  the  "  pressing 
necessity  of  the  present  period  which  was  to  decide  whether  the 
politics  of  Washington  shall  once  more  regain  their  proper  influence 
in  the  hearts  of  his  countrymen  demands  correspondent  exertion." 

October  5th,  1825,  a  consolidation  was  effected  between  the 
Gazette  and  the  American.  The  firm  of  Brown  and  Carlisle  was 
formed  (Hugh  H.  Brown  and  Francis  T.  Carlisle)  and  conducted 
the  printing  on  the  north  side  of  Market  Square.  William  S. 
Patten  was  editor  for  one  year  when  he  was  succeeded  by  C'hristo- 
pher  E.  Robbins. 

In  March,  1827,  Mr.  Carlisle  bought  out  his  partner  and  em- 
ployed Benjamin  F.  Htillett  as  editor.  In  the  July  following  the 
Microcosm,  a  weekly  paper,  established  June  10,  1825,  by  Walter  R. 
Danforth,  was  absorbed  by  the  American.  Two  years  later  (July^ 
1829,)  the  Cadet  and  Statesmen  also  taken  in.  The  title  was 
changed  to  that  of  the  Rhode  Island  American  Statesman 
AND  Gazette.  The  Cadet  and  Statesman  was  founded  as  the 
Literary  Cadet  and  Saturday  Evening  Bulletin.  It  was  published 
by  Smith  and  Parmenter  (  Samuel  J.  Smith,  Jonathan  C.  Parmen- 
ter  );  Sylvester  S.  South  worth  was  editor.  It  was  a  weekly  until 
July,  1828,  and  then  semi-weekly  until  its  absorption.  The  last 
number  was  issued  Friday,  Feb.  r,  1833.  Saturday,  Feb.  9,  it  was 
continued  under  the  title  of  Microcosm  American  and  Gazette 
until  its  final  discontinuance  March  29,  1834.  Daniel  Mowry,  3d, 
was  proprietor  of  these  last  consolidation  papers.  April  6,  1833, 
he  sold  out  to  James  S.  Hamm  &  Co.  (Joseph  Knowles  the  Co.), 
who  owned  it  at  its  final  discontinuance.  The  paper  obtained  a 
high  position  in  the  community  and  had  among  its  writers  the  best 
talent  of  the  State.  William  Goddard  was  editor  when  it  was  at  its 
best.
