HISTORY

PRINTING IN AMERICA.

HISTORY OF NEWSPAPERS,

FROM THE PERIOD WHEN THEY WERE FIRST PUBLISHED IN THE BRITISH
COLONIES, TO THE TIME OF THE REVOLUTION, WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF
THOSE PUBLISHED EN EUROPE.

To an observer of the great utility of the kind of pub-
lications called newspapers, it may appear strange that
they should have arisen to the present almost incredible
number, from a comparatively late beginning. I would
not be understood to intimate that ancient nations had no
institutions which answered the purposes of our public
journals, because I believe the contrary is the fact* The
Chinese gazettes may have been published from a very re-
mote period of time. The kings of Persia had their scribes
who copied the public despatches, which were carried into
the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the Persian
empire " by posts ;" and, it is probable, they transmitted
accounts of remarkable occurrences in the same manner.
The Romans also adopted the custom of sending into their
distant provinces written accounts of victories gained, and
other remarkable events, which took place in that empire.1

It has already been mentioned,2 that the Mexicans were
very expert at engraving and painting. It has been repre-

Diurna of the Romans— daily official reports of public occurrences.— if.

seated as probable that they likewise executed hieroglyph-
ical gazettes ; for when the Spaniards first arrived on the
Mexican coast, some of the subjects of Montezuma II sent
to him such a description of the Spanish ships, men, etc.,
as not only terrified him with the strangeness of the sight,
but also astonished the Spaniards themselves, by the ac-
curacy of it, when the paintings were afterward shown to
them.

These kinds of hieroglyphical gazettes were not un-
known, it is said, among the natives of the more northern
parts of America. Annexed is an engraving of a copy of
an Indian gazette, taken many years since by a French
officer from the American original, with an explanation of
the same. It relates to an expedition of a body of Cana-
dian warriors, who, soon after the settlement of this part
of America, took up the hatchet in favor of the French
against a hostile tribe that adhered to the English. It was
communicated to me many years ago, and, soon after, I
had it engraved for the Royal American Magazine. It
had previously appeared in several works published in
Europe.

In the year 1531, a newspaper was printed at Venice, for
which the price charged was a Venetian coin called
gazetta ; and hence is derived our word gazette ; the name
of the coin having been transferred to the paper.1

The first newspaper produced by the English press, was
entitled The English Mercurie, printed and published on the
28th day of July, 1588, in London, by Christopher Barker,

1 1 will here take leave to remark, that the statement of facts respecting
the origin of newspapers, as published in the introduction to the History of
Newspapers in the first edition of this work, was taken from writers
whose authority I considered unquestionable. Among the works I con-
sulted was the British Encyclopedia ; but farther researches convince
me that the encyclopedists made some erroneous statements on this sub-
ject. These errors I discovered, and corrected at the close of the .volume
which contained them, before it came from the press. In this edition the
corrections are made in their proper place.

who was printer to Queen Elizabeth. A copy of this pa-
per is preserved in the British Museum.1

Another paper was printed in London, anno 1622, the title
of which was The Weekly Courant. In 1639, a paper was
printed at Newcastle upon Tyne, by Robert Baker. The
Mercuries succeeded, being first published August 22,
1642, and continued occasionally through the protectorate
of Cromwell, and after his death. One was entitled The
Mercurius Rusticus, or " the Countrie's Complaint of the Bar-
barous Outrage began in the year 1642, by the Sectaries of
this once Flourishing Kingdome ;" edited by Bruno Ryves.
These papers were generally in quarto, and sometimes
contained two sheets ; but neither of them obtained a per-
manent establishment.

The oldest English newspaper I have seen, is one now in
my possession, which was published weekly on Thursdays,
anno 1660. The title of it is Mercurius Publicus, " Compris-
ing the Sum of Forraign Intelligence : With the affairs
now in agitation in England, Scotland, and Ireland, For
Information of the People. Published by Order." This
publication was begun that year ; it contained two small
quarto sheets. A number of books and medicines for sale,
by various people, are advertised in that paper, which was
printed in London " by J. Macock and Tho. Newcomb."
I cannot determine if any other periodical work was pub-
lished in England at that time ; but Sir Roger L'Estrange
published a paper called The Public Intelligencer, in 1663.2

1 Mr Thomas Watt, the distinguished bibliographer, ascertained that the
copies of this alleged newspaper, in the British Museum, were forgeries,
executed about the year 1766.— Letter to Antonio Panizzi.—H.

2 After all that has been written about early newspapers, it is not usual
to find perfect accuracy in any one account. The paper which our author
refers to as the The Weekly Courant, anno 1622, was The Courant or Weekly
Newes from Foreign Parts, established by Nathaniel Butter. Alexander
Andrews, author of History of British Journalism, in a communication to
Notes and Queries, 1st series, xi, 285, expresses the opinion that it appeared
first in 1621. He says also that Butter published Sept. 9, 1622, a paper
entitled News from most Parts of Christendom. It was probably the same

4 IIistory of Printing in America.

The British Encyclopedia, and. other works, state, that
"theirs*! gazette in England was published at Oxford," the
court being there on account of the prevalence of the plague
in London. It was "in a folio half sheet, Nov. 7, 1665.
On the removal of the court to London, the title was
changed to The London Gazette." The publication of news-
papers and pamphlets was prohibited by proclamation in
England, anno 1680, but although this was done away
during the revolution in that country, newspapers were
afterwards made objects of taxation.

In 1696, The Athenian Gazette was published in London,
by John Dunton, whom I have had frequent occasion to
mention. In that work Dunton states, that only nine
newspapers, the Athenian Gazette included, were then pub-
lished in England. Newspapers were not published in
Scotland till after the accession of William and Mary to
the throne of England. In the year 1808, the newspaper
establishments in England amounted to one hundred and
forty-five. Of this number forty-seven were published
in London, viz : nine morning, and seven evening, daily
papers; nine were printed three times, and one twice a
week ; and there were nineteen weekly, including eleven
Sunday papers. Ninety-eight were printed in all other
parts of England. The same year, nineteen were printed
in Scotland, and thirty-five in Ireland, making the whole
number published in the United Kingdoms of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, one hundred and ninety-seven.

The celebrated Horace Walpole observes, that a Gazette
was published in France, anno 1631, by Renaudot, a phy-

paper as the first named, as may have been that entitled The Weekly News
from Italy, Germanie, &c. Butter is regarded as the father of the regular
newspapers press. It is stated in Appleton's New American Cyclopedia,
that the first attempt at parliamentary reporting was in 1641. But we
have before us a f ac simile of the 1st No. of | Perfect Occurrence* \ of \

sician at Paris.1 This was prior to the appearance of the
Journal des Savans.

That kind of literary journals, called reviews and maga-
zines, appears to have originated in France. The first pro-
duction, of this description, was the Journal des Savans,
which, according to D'Israeli, made its debut on the 30th
of May, 1665, and was contemporaneous with the London
Gazette. It was published by Dennis de Sallo, an ecclesi-
astical counsellor in the parliament of Paris, in the name
of the Sieur de Hedouville, his lacquey. Some suppose de
Sallo adopted this method of sending it abroad in the world
because he thought so humble an author as his servant
would disarm criticism of its severity ; or, that the scurrility
of the critics would produce less effect than if directed
against himself.

The Journal des Savans comprehended a variety of sub-
jects. It contained an account of all books published in
Europe ; panegyrics on deceased persons of celebrity ; it
announced all useful inventions, and such discoveries as
were beneficial to the arts, or curious in science ; chemical
experiments, celestial and meteorological observations, dis-
coveries in anatomy, and in the practice of physic ; decisions
of the ecclesiastical and secular tribunals ; and the author
intended to publish an account of the censures of the Sor-
bonne, &c, &c. In the course of a few years many imita-
tions of this journal were published in different parts of
Europe.

Dr. Miller, of New York, in his valuable work entitled,
A Brief Retrospect of the Eighteenth Century, mentions that
" in 1671, appeared the Acta Medica Hafnensia, published
by M. Bartholin. To which succeeded, in 1672, Memoires
des Arts et des Sciences, established in France, by M.
Dennis ; in 1682, the Acta Eruditorwn, of Leipsic, by Men-
kenius ; in 1684, Les Nouvelles de la Mepublique des

Lettres, by M. Bayle, and the Bibliotheque Universelle Choisie,
et Ancienne et Moderne, by Le Clerc ; in 1689, the Monath-
lichen Unterredungen, of Germany; in 1692, the Boekzaal
van Europa, by P. Rabbus, in Holland ; and in 1698, the
Nova Literaria Maris Balthici ; together with several
others in Germany, France and Italy." These were
all of that class of periodical works which are called re-
views. The first publication of this kind in England, was
The History of the Works of the Learned, printed in London,
in 1699 ; which was soon followed by Memoirs of Literature,
The Present State of the JRepublick of Letters, The Censura
Temporum, and the Bibliotheca Curiosa. These were pub-
lished in England the beginning of the eighteenth century,
but they were soon discontinued.1

The first English literary work, bearing the name of a
magazine, was published in London in the year 1731, by
Edward Cave,2 and is continued under the title of The
Gentleman's Magazine, at this time. It has acquired edit
not only from its long establishment, but from its useful-
ness, and a considerable addition was made to its reputa 'on
by the -labors of the learned doctor Samuel Johnson.

The second performance of this description, was The
London Magazine, a valuable publication, which was con-
tinued fifty years. The Scot's Magazine, is said to have been

" The fruitful mother of a thousand more,"
was the son of a shoemaker at Rugby, in Warwickshire, England ; at
which place he received his education in the free school. His apprentice-
ship he served with Collins, a printer and an alderman's deputy, in Lon-
don. When he was of age, he wrote for Mist's Journal, and became the
editor of a country newspaper. Through the interest of his wife, he ob-
tained a small place in the postoffice ; and some time after was promoted
to the office of clerk of the franks. At length, he was enabled to purchase
a small printing apparatus, with which he commenced the publication of
a magazine ; and, to this undertaking, he was indebted for the affluence
which attended the last twenty years of his life, and the large fortune he
left behind him.

the third magazine published in Great Britain. The Euro-
pean Magazine was established in 1782.

There are, at this time (1810), upwards of forty period-
ical works, denominated reviews and magazines, published
in Great Britain and Ireland. Some of these reviews are
regularly reprinted and republished in the United States.
A list of the works of this description, which are published
in the United States, will be found in the appendix.

The British Encyclopedia, with large additions, in twenty
volumes, quarto, was reprinted by Thomas Dobson, of Phi-
ladelphia. It was published in half volumes, two of which
came from the press annually.

The first public journals, printed in British America,
made their appearance in 1704. In April of that year, the
first Anglo American newspaper was printed at Boston, in
Massachusetts Bay, by the postmaster, whose office was
then regulated by the colonial government. At that period,
I. brieve, there were only four or five postmasters in all the
colonies. It was not until after the expiration of fifteen
ye&,s, that another publication of the kind issued from any
pi ess in this part of the world.

On the 21st day of December, 1719, the second Anglo-
American newspaper was published in Boston ; and, on the
following day, December 22, the third paper appeared,
which was printed in the city of Philadelphia.

In 1725, a newspaper was first printed in New York ;
and after that time, gazettes were gradually introduced into
the other colonies on the continent, and into the West
Indies.

There are now, 1810, more newspapers published in the
United States, than in the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland.1

1 See further on, a calculation of the newspapers printed in the United
States, and those published in Great Britain and Ireland. See also Ap-
pendix.

8 History of Printing in America.

In 1754,1 four newspapers only were printed in New
England, these were all published in Boston, and, usually,
on a small sheet; they were published weekly, and the
average number of copies did not exceed six hundred from
each press. No paper had then been issued in Connecti-
cut, or New Hampshire. Some years before, one was
printed for a short time in Rhode Island, but had been dis-
continued for want of encouragement. Vermont as a state
did not exist, and the country which now composes it was
then a wilderness. In 1775, a period of only twenty-one
years, more copies of a newspaper were issued weekly from
the village press at Worcester, Massachusetts, than were
printed in all New England, in 1754 ; and one paper now
published contains as much matter as did all the four pub-
lished in Boston, in the year last mentioned.

At the beginning of 1775, there were five newspapers
published in Boston, one at Salem, and one at Newbury-
port, making seven in Massachusetts. There was, at that
time, one published at Portsmouth ; and no other in New
Hampshire. One was printed at Newport, and one at
Providence, making two in Rhode Island. At New Lon-
don there was one, at New Haven one, one at Hartford and
one in Norwich ; in all four in Connecticut ; and fourteen
in New England. In the province of New York, four
papers were then published; three in the city, and one in
Albany.2 In Pennsylvania there were, on the first of
January, 1775, six; three in English and one in German,
in Philadelphia, one in German, at Germantown; and
one in English and German, at Lancaster. Before the

1 In 1748, five newspapers were printed in Boston, but one of them was
discontinued in 1750 ; a provisional stamp act closed the publication of
two more in 1755 ; but they were afterwards replaced by others.

3 With all deference to Mr. Thomas's knowledge of what was done in his
own time, it still seems hardly probable that the paper begun in Albany in
1771, could have been continued longer than 1773. No copies of it have
been discovered here later than the early part of 1772. — M.

end of January, 1775, three newspapers, in English, were
added to the number from the presses in Philadelphia,
making nine in Pennsylvania. In Maryland, two ; one at
Annapolis, and one at Baltimore. In Virginia, there were
but two, and both of these at Williamsburg. One was
printed at Wilmington, and one in Newbern, in North
Carolina; three at Charleston, South Carolina; and one
at Savannah, in G-eorgia. Making thirty-seven newspapers
in all the British colonies, which are now comprised in the
United States. To these may be added one at Halifax, in
Nova Scotia ; and one in Canada, at Quebec.

In 1800, l there were at least one hundred and fifty pub-
lications of this kind printed in the United States of Ame-
rica, and since that time, the number has increased to three
hundred and sixty.2 Those published before 1775 were
weekly papers. Soon after the close of the Revolutionary
war, daily papers were printed at Philadelphia, New York,
&c, and there are now, 1810, more than twenty published,
daily, in the United States.

It was common for printers of newspapers to subjoin to
their titles " Containing the freshest Advices both Foreign and
Domestic ;" but gazettes and journals are now chiefly filled
with political essays. News do not appear to be always

1 In 1796, a small paper, half a sheet medium, 4to, entitled The New
World, was published at Philadelphia every morning and evening, Sunday
excepted, by the ingenious Samuel H. Smith, afterwards the able editor
of The National Intelligencer, published at Washington. The novelty of
two papers a day, from the same press, soon ceased ; it continued but a
few months. This paper was printed from two forms, on the same sheet,
each form having a title ; one for the morning, and the other for the
evening ; the sheet was then divided, and one half of it given to the cus-
tomers in the forenoon, and the other in the afternoon.

3 It may be remarked that this number of newspapers, which seemed
to be worthy of notice at the time Mr. Thomas wrote, in 1810, is only
about one-third as great as that which ceased to exist in the year 1872 ; so
rapidly do newspapers now come forth, and soon after disappear from
want of adequate support. — M.

the first object of editors, and, of course, " containing the
freshest advices," &c, is too often out of the question.

For many years after the establishment of newspapers
on this continent, very few advertisements appeared in
them. This was the case with those that were early
printed in Europe. In the first newspapers, advertisements
were not separated by lines from the news, &c, and were
not even begun with a two line letter ; when two line letters
were introduced, it was some time before one advertise-
ment was separated from another by a line, or rule as it is
termed by printers. After it became usual to separate
advertisements, some printers used lines of metal rules ;
others lines of flowers irregularly placed. I have seen in
some New York papers, great primer flowers between ad-
vertisements. At length, it became customary to " set off
advertisements," and from using types not larger than those
with which the news were printed, types of the size of French
canon have often been used for names, especially of those
who advertised English goods.

In the troublesome times, occasioned by the stamp act
in 1765, some of the more opulent and cautious printers,
when the act was to take place, put their papers in mourn-
ing, and, for a few weeks, omitted to publish them ; others
not so timid, but doubtful of the consequence of publish-
ing newspapers without stamps, omitted the titles, or al-
tered them, as an evasion ; for instance the Pennsylvania
Gazette, and some other papers, were headed " Remarkable
Occurrences, &c." — other printers, particularly those in
Boston, continued their papers without any alteration in
title or imprint.

EXPLANATION

INDIAN GAZETTE,

GIVING AN ACCOUNT OP ONE OF THEIR EXPEDITIONS.
The following divisions explain those on the plate referred, to by the numbers.

1. Each of these figures represents
the number ten. They all signify,
that 18 times 10, or 180 American
Indians took up the hatchet, or de-
clared war, in favor of the French ;
which is represented by the hatchet
placed over the arms of France.

3. They went by water — signified
by the canoe. The number of huts,
such as they raise to pass the night
in, shows they were 21 days on their
passage.

5. When they arrived near the
habitations of their enemies, at sun-
rise — shewn by the sun being to the
eastward of them, beginning, as
they think, its daily course ; there
they lay in wait three days — repre-
sented by the hand pointing and the
three huts.

7. They killed with the club
eleven of their enemies, and took
five prisoners — the former repre-
sented by the club, and the eleven
heads ; the latter by the figures on
the little pedestals.

9. The heads of the arrows, point-
ing opposite ways, represent the
battle.

2. They departed from Mont-
real — represented by the bird, just
taking wing from the top of a
mountain. The moon, and the
buck, show the time to have been
in the first quarter of the buckmoon,
answering to July.

4. Then they came on shore, and
traveled seven days by land — repre-
sented by the foot, and the seven
huts. .

6. After which, they surprised
their enemies, in number 12 times
10, or 120. The man asleep shows
how they surprised them, and the
hole in the top of the building is
supposed to signify that they broke
into some of their habitations in
that manner.

8. They lost nine of their own
men in the action — represented by
the nine heads within the bow,
which is the emblem of honor
among the Americans; but had
none taken prisoners — a circum-
stance they lay great weight on,
shown by all the pedestals being
empty.

10. The heads of the arrows, all
pointing the same way, signify the
flight of the enemy.

There was not a newspaper published in the English
colonies, throughout the extensive continent of North Ame-
rica, until the 24th of April, 1704.

John Campbell, a Scotchman, who was a bookseller and
postmaster in Boston, was the first * who began and esta-
blished a publication of this kind. It was entitled,

It is printed on half a sheet of pot paper, with a small
pica type, folio. The first page is filled with an extract

1 " The first attempt to set up a newspaper in North America, so far as
can be ascertained, was made at Boston in 1690. Only one copy of this
sheet is known to be in existence, that being in the state paper office in
London." See an entire copy of this, by Samuel A. Green, M.D., in the
Historical Magazine for August, 1857. The authorities objected to it.
They called it a pamphlet. Felt's Annals of Salem (1849), vol. n, p. 14.
If this can be claimed as a newspaper, may also the sheet printed by
Samuel Green in 1689, the placard mentioned in the New Hamp. Hist.
Soe. Coil., i, 252 ? This was issued at the time Dr. Increase Mather was
in England, endeavoring to procure a new charter for the colony of Mas-
sachusetts. It was entitled The Present State of the New English Affairs,
and was .published to prevent false reports. Among the notes to a re-
print of the first number of the Boston News Letter, we are informed
that Campbell was accustomed to write news letters. Nine of these
dated 1703, have heen published by the Massachusetts Historical Society,
in their Proceedings, 1867, p. 485.— M.

from The London Flying Post, respecting the pretender, who.
styled himself James VIE of' Scotland, sending popish
missionaries from France into Scotland, &c, by which the
kingdoms of England and Scotland were endangered. The
queen's speech to both houses of parliament on that occa-
sion, a few articles under the Boston head, four short
paragraphs of marine intelligence from New York, Phila-
delphia, and New London, and one advertisement, form its
whole contents. The advertisement is from Campbell, the
proprietor of the paper, and is as follows :

" This News Letter is to be continued Weekly ; and all
Persons who have any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farmes,
Ships, Vessels, Goods, Wares or Merchandizes, &c, to be
Sold or Lett; or Servants Runaway; or Goods Stoll or
Lost, may have the same Inserted at a Reasonable Rate ;
from Twelve Pence to Five Shillings, and not to exceed :
Who may agree with Nicholas Boone, for the same at his
Shop next door to Major Davis's, Apothecary in Boston-
near the Old Meeting House.

" All Persons in Town and Country may have said News-
' Letter Weekly upon reasonable tearms, agreeing with John
Campbell Post Master for the same." The imprint is
" Boston : Printed by B. Green. Sold by Nicholas Boone
at his Shop near the Old Meeting-House." Green was
Campbell's printer, and Boone was for some weeks his pub-
lisher.

No. 2, is a whole sheet of pot, folio, three pages of which
are printed, and one is blank. Campbell's advertisement
is again inserted, and a single new one is added.

In No. 4, Campbell desires those who wish to have ad-

Boone's name is left out of the imprint of No. 5, and

some weeks not any. From No. 6 to No. 192, it is printed
on a half sheet of foolscap. ISTo. 192 contains only two
short advertisements ; and for years after it was but seldom
supplied with more than two, and, often, with not one new
advertisement in the week.

In No. 71, Campbell inserted the following notice.

" At the Desire of several Gentlemen, Merchants and
others, who are willing to Contribute towards' supporting
this Publick Print of Intelligence, the Undertaker has be-
gun where it was left off, in hopes of others following their
good Example, whereby it may be carryed on at least ano-
ther year : And therefore all Persons in Town and Country,
who have a mind to encourage the same, may have said
News Letters every week by the year upon reasonable
Terms, agreeing with John Campbell Postmaster of Boston
for the same."

It does not appear that Campbell had discontinued the
paper, and his real meaning where he says he " has begun
where he left off," cannot now be well understood. No.
71, is dated August 24, 1705. It is evident from his ad-
vertisements in the course of this publication, that he
" labored hard to get it along," that he had but very few
subscribers, and that he did not receive much encourage-
ment from advertising customers.

Bartholomew Green printed the News-Letter for Camp-
bell until November 3, 1707. No. 176, November 10, 1707,
is " printed by John Allen, in Pudding Lane near the Post-
Office, and there to be Sold."

In No. 190, Campbell informs " all who have a mind to
encourage this Letter of Intelligence," to agree with him,
" Post Master of New England, at Boston."

In No. 210, four years after the first publication, Camp-
bell inserted the following advertisement. " This being
the last day of the fourth Quarter of this Letter of Intelli-
gence : All persons in Town and Country, who have not

already paid for this fourth Year are hereby desired now
to pay or send it in ; with their resolution if they would
have it continued and proceeded on for a fifth year (Life
permitted) ; which is only to be known by the number
that take it weekly throughout the year ; though there
has not as yet a competent number appeared to take it
annually so as to enable the Undertaker to carry it on
effectually ; yet he is still willing to proceed with it, if
those Gentlemen that have this last year lent their help-
ing hand to support it, continue still of the same mind ano-
ther year, in hopes that those who have hitherto been
backward to promote such a Publick Good will at last set
in with it."

No. 390, completed four years^printing of the News-Let-
ter by John Allen in Pudding lane. On the evening fol-
lowing the day on which No. 390 was published, namely,
October 2, 1711, happened what, from that time until 1760,
was called the great fire in Boston. The postoffice and
Allen's printing house were consumed in that conflagra-
tion. The following week the News-Letter was again
printed at Green's printing house in Newbury street, with
this imprint, " Boston : Printed in Newbury Street, for John
Campbell Post Master," which remained unaltered until
October 1715. No. 391 contains an account of the fire.
See Appendix B.

In October, 1715, B. Green added his name to the im-
print, as the printer.

No. 664 begins the year 1717 with January — theNews-
Letter had previously begun the year with March. Al-
though this paper had at that time been published thirteen
years it still languished for the want of due support, as
appears by an address from Campbell to the public.

It was the design of Campbell that the News-Letter
should give a selected, regular succession of foreign events ;
but the smallness of his paper rendered it impossible for

16 History of Printing in America.

him to "publish occurrences seasonably; and at the close
of the year he found himself greatly in arrears with his
foreign intelligence. In Nos. 769 and 799, he proposes a
remedy for this difficulty, which will, perhaps, be best un-
derstood in his own words, and may give a correct idea of
the state of the News-Letter at that period.

" After near upon Fourteen Years experience, The Un-
dertaker knows that it's Impossible with half a Sheet in
the Week to carry on all the Publick News of Europe,
(tho' hitherto all those of Great Britian, Ireland, our own
and our Neighbour Provinces has been Yearly Inserted).
He now intends to make up that Deficiency by Printing a
Sheet every other Week for Tryal, by which in a little
time, all will become new that us'd formerly to be Old.
Jan'y. 12, 1719."

" The Undertaker of this News-Letter, the 12th January
last being the Second Week of this Currant Years Intelli-
gence, gave then Intimation that after 14 (now upwards of
15) years experience, it was impossible with half a Sheet a
Week to carry on all the Public Occurrences of Europe,
with those of this, our Neighbouring Provinces, and the
West Indies. To make up which Deficiency, and the
News Newer and' more acceptable, he has since Printed
every other Week a Sheet, whereby that which seem'd
Old in the former half Sheets, becomes New now by the
Sheet, which is easy to be seen by any one who will be
at the pains to trace back former years ; and even this
time 12 Months, we were then 13 Months behind with the
Foreign News beyond Great Britain, and now less than
Five Months, so that by the Sheet we have retrieved about 8
months since January last, and any One that has the News

be accommodated with all the News of Europe &c, contained
in the Publick Prints of London that are needful for to be
known in these parts. And in regard the Undertaker had

not suitable encouragement, even to Print half a Sheet
Weekly, seeing that he cannot vend 300 at an Impression,
tho' some ignorantly concludes he Sells upwards of a
Thousand : far less is he able to Print a Sheet every other
week, without an Addition of 4, 6 or 8 Shillings a Year,
as every one thinks fit to give payable Quarterly, which
will only help to pay for Press and Paper, giving his La-
bour for nothing. And considering the great Charge he
is" at for several Setts of Public Prints, by sundry Vessels
from London, with the price of Press, Paper, Labour, car-
rying out the News Papers, and his own Trouble, in col-
lecting and composing, &c. It is afforded by the Year, or
by the Piece or Paper, including the difference of Money
far cheaper than in England, where they Sell several Hun-
dreds nay Thousands of Copies to a very small number
vended here. Such therefore as have not already paid for
the half Year past the last Monday of June, are hereby de-
sired to send or pay in the same to John Campbell at his
House in Cornhill, Boston. August 10, 1719."

Campbell's difficulties increased. A new postmaster
had just been appointed, and in the December following
the publication of the foregoing advertisements, that
postmaster began publishing another newspaper. Camp-
bell appeared to be displeased; a "paper war" of short
duration ensued. (See Appendix C.) Both papers were
continued; and advertising customers began to increase.

In No. 821, January 11, 1721, Campbell again addressed
his customers, and informed them, " This Publick Letter
of Intelligence was begun here at Boston by John Camp-
bell the 24th of April 1704, near upon Sixteen Years ago,
and ever since continued Weekly with Universal Appro-
bation and General Satisfaction, giving a true Account of
all the Publick Affairs of Europe, with those of this and
the Neighbouring Provinces, for the Interest and Advantage

of the Post Office, Gentlemen, Merchants and others, both
in Town and Country ; and preventing a great many false
Reports. And the Author being still desired and en-
couraged to carry on the same by the Gentlemen, Mer-
chants and others, his usual Customers, he intends (Life
Permitted) to answer their expectation, and to forward still
as regular Account of Affairs as our part, of the World
will admit of; If he does not Print a Sheet every other
"Week this Winter Time, he designs to make it up in the
Spring, when Ships do arrive from Great Britain. Such
Others as have a mind to promote and encourage the said
Intelligence may agree with John Campbell in Cornhill,
Boston, and have it on reasonable Terms left at any
House in the Town, Seal'd or Unsealed ; and for the ad-
vantage of the Post Office an Intire Sheet of Paper, one
half with the News, and the other half good writing Paper
to write their Letter on, may also be had there for any
one that pleases to have it every Monday."

By the latter part of this advertisement we are to under-
stand, that some copies of the News Letter would every
Monday be printed on a whole sheet of writing paper, one
half of which would be blank, on which letters might be
written and sent abroad through the medium of the post
office ; the accommodation was the saving of postage, as
a letter and a newspaper might be forwarded in the same
sheet; and newspapers thus printed, were sold by Camp-
bell at his house in Cornhill.

In No. 876, December 26, 1720, Campbell, in an address
to the public, mentioned, that he had published the News-
Letter " near upon Seventeen Years," and that it was " the
first and only intelligence on the Continent of America, till
about a Year past, one was set up at Philadelphia and ano-
ther here, and how well either the one or the other has
answered the said Design, and People's great Expectation,
is left with every one to Determine." He informs his

Newspapers. — Massachusetts. 19

readers that, " he designs (God willing) to carry it on
another year," with the usual proviso, that " he is Encour-
aged by a competant Numbers taking it by the Year, to
enable him to defray the necessary charges of Press, Paper,
the Publick Prints, and Writing of the same."

On the 7th of August, 1721, a third newspaper in Boston
was published, entitled The New England Courant.1 The
publisher of that paper, in an address to the public, hinted
that the News Letter was " a dull vehicle of intelligence,"
&c. This appears to have nettled Campbell, who in his
next News-Letter of Monday, August 14, made the fol-
lowing defence.

" $@T N. B. On Monday last, the 7th Currant, came
forth a Third Newspaper in this Town, Entituled, The New
England Courant, by Homo non unius Negotii,2 Or, Jack of
all Trades, and it would seem, Good at none, giving some

continuance of that stile should offend his readers, where-

I have a file of the New England Courant for the first
two years of its publication, with the exception of the first
sixteen numbers, which are wanting. I cannot, therefore,
give Franklin's reply to Campbell ; but the spirit of it is
to be discovered from Campbell's rejoinder, published in
the News Letter, August 28, 1721, viz. :

" Sir, What you call a Satyrical Advertisement was a
just Vindication of my News Letter, from some unfair
Reflections, in your introduction to your first Courant.
Your reply in hobling Verse, had they more Reason and
less Railing might possibly have inclined me to think you
was some Man of great Learning, or as you please to Word
it, a Meikle Man ; but Railery is the talent of a mean Spirit,
and not to be returned by me. In honour to the Muses I
dare not acknowledge your Poem to be from Parnassus ;
but as a little before the Composure you had been Rake-
ing in the Dunghill, its more probable the corrupt Steams
got into your Brains, and your Dullcold Skul precipitate
them^into Ribaldry. I observe you are not always the
same, your History of Inoculation intends the Publick
Good,2 but Letter to Mr. Compton and Rhyme to me
smell more of the Ale Tub than the Lamp. I do not envy
your skill in Anatomy, and your accurate discovery of the
Gall Bladder, nor your Geography of the Dunghill (natale
solum.) You say your Ale grows better, but have a care
you do not Bottle it too New, lest the Bottles fly and wet
your Toyes. You say you are the Wiseman, and his
Advice is, Prov. xxvi. Ver. 4. Answer not a fool according
to his folly, lest thou be like unto him. And not very disa-
greeable to what I learned when a School Boy.

" Since like the Indian Natives, you Delight,

1 This nickname appears to have been given to Franklin by Campbell,
as a retort for calling the News-Letter " dull, very dull."

3 The Courant strongly opposed inoculating for the small pox, which
at that time began to be introduced.

22 History of Printing in America.

This rivalship produced a whole sheet weekly from
Campbell for about two months, after which the News-
Letter, like the Gazette and Courant, was reduced to a
half sheet weekly.

In January, 1722, Campbell announced in his usual
manner his intention to continue the News-Letter another
year ; but before the close of it, he resigned his right to his
printer, Bartholomew Green. Campbell had published this
paper eighteen years; and, during that period, had met
with many difficulties, and received but little encourage-
ment. The undertaking could not have been attended
with profit ; for the expense of paper, printing, and Euro-
pean publications from which he selected information, must
have, swallowed up the proceeds from his small number of
subscribers.

" Published by Authority," had been omitted in the title
of the News-Letter for two years before Campbell resigned
it, but was resumed when Green began to print it on his
own account ; and the day of its publication was changed
from Monday to Thursday.

When Green became the proprietor of the News-Letter,
great difference of opinion existed in. the colony respecting
the concerns of church and state, as well as concerning
matters of a more local nature, and the spirit of party ran
high. A writer of that day observes, " The press has long
groaned in bringing forth an hateful but numerous brood
of party pamphlets, malicious scribbles, and Billingsgate
ribaldry, which have produced rancor and bitterness, and
unhappily soured and leavened the tempers of persons
formerly esteemed some of the most sweet and amiable.1

Green appeared to possess a disposition to publish an im-
partial and chaste paper, and in conformity to this inclina-
tion, he inserted in the News-Letter March 7, 1723, the
following address to the public.

1 Courant. No. 30, February 11, 1723.

Newspapers. — Massachusetts. 23

" $ST The Design of this Paper is not merely to amuse
the Reader ; much less to Gratify any 111 Tempers by Re-
proach or Redicule, to Promote Contention, or Espouse any
Party among us. The Publisher on the contrary, laments
our Dangerous and unhappy Divisions ; and he would
always approve himself as a Peaceable Friend and Servant
to all, and unkind to none ; nor would he ever render Evil
for Evil, either by action, speaking or writing. He longs
for the Blissful Times when "Wars shall cease to the Ends
of the Earth. He would rather Endeavour his utmost to
advance an universal Concord and Harmony ; were it not
for fear of adding Oyl to the Flames, and he Remembers
the Fable which shows him the Danger of Interceding be-
tween Fierce and Contending Enemies. The Publisher
would therefore strive to oblige all his Readers by Publish-
ing those Transactions only, that have no Relation to any
of our Quarrels, and may be equally entertaining to the
greatest Adversaries. For this end, he Proposes to extend
his Paper to the History of Nature among us, as well as of
Political and Foreign Affairs. And agreeable to this De-
sign, be Desires of all Ingenious Gentlemen, in every
part of the Country, to communicate the Remarkable
Things they observe ; and he Desires them to send their
Accounts Post-Free, and nothing but what they assur-
edly know; and they shall be very gratefully Receiv'd and
Publish'd : That so this Paper may, in some Degree,
serve for the Philosophical Transactions of New England, as
well as for a Political History ; and the Things worthy of
Recording in this as well as in other Parts of the
"World, may not proceed to sink into eternal Oblivion as
they have done in all the past Ages of the Aboriginal and
Ancient Inhabitants."

In 1725, " Published by Authority," again disappeared
from the title of the News-Letter. Green continued its
publication without any thing particular attending it, until

24 History of Printing in America.

the last week of December 1726, No. 1196. The week
following he altered its title to The Weekly News-Letter,
and began this alteration of title with No. 1, and discon-
tinued " the method of carrying on a Thread of occur-
rences of an Old Date;" intending to publish weekly
the latest intelligence he could procure. The paper, with
the alteration of title, progressed to No. 200, October 29,
1730 ; Green then added the No. 200 of the Weekly News-
Letter, to the former number 1196 of the Boston News-
Letter, and the following week began with No. 1397, and
combined the former and the latter title, calling it The
Boston Weekly News-Letter} On this occasion he published
the following advertisement, viz. :

" The Publisher of this Boston News-Letter, having in
concert with the late Mr. Campbell, began to Print the
same with Numb. 1, on April 24, 1704, and it being carried
on with the History of Publick Affairs to No. 1196, which
was on December 29, 1726, and then with January 5th,
1726-7, began with a new Number which amounted on the
last Thursday to 200. It is now tho't adviseable to add the
said Number 200, to the former 1196, which makes 1396,
the whole of our Number from the said 24th of April, 1704,
and now go on with Numb. 1397," &c.

No other alteration in the News-Letter took place during
its publication by Green. He dying, John Draper suc-
ceeded him, and began the publication of the News-Letter
January 4, 1733. He announced it as follows.

" JdST* Mr- Bartholomew Green, who has for some
Years past been the Publisher of this Boston Weekly News-
Letter, being dead, this is to Inform the Publick in gene-
ral, and those who are the Customers for it in particular,
that it will be yet carried on, and sent out every Week
on Thursday Morning at the usual Price by John Draper,

1 Green did not publish two papers at the same time, as mentioned in
the Historical Collections, vol. vi, page 67.

(Son-in-Law to the said Mr. Green) who has been an
Assistant with him in the said News-Letter : And, that
Care will be yet constantly taken to insert therein all the
most remarkable Occurrences, both Foreign and Domes-
tick, that come to hand well attested. And all the Rev.
Ministers, or other Gentlemen, both of Town and Country,
who may at any time receive any thing worthy of pub-
lishing, are desired to send it to the said John Draper,
at the Printing-House in Newbury-Street, that lately be-
long'd to the said Mr. Green deceas'd, and it will be
thankfully received, and communicated to the Publick:
And it will yet be endeavoured to render This Weekly
Paper as informing and entertaining as possibly can be, to
the Satisfaction of all who do or may encourage it."

Draper printed the News Letter thirty years. He died
in November, 1762, and his son Richard Draper continued
its publication. At that time, the title was enlarged as
follows : The Boston Weekly News Letter and New England
Chronicle. In about a year the title was again altered to
The Massachusetts Gazette ; and Boston Newes Letter, and
was decorated with the king's arms.1 Richard Draper,
about this time, took his kinsman Samuel as a partner,
and the imprint ran thus : " Published by Richard Draper,
Printer to the Governor and Council, and by Samuel
Draper, at the Printing Office in Newbury Street." After
the death of Samuel Draper, Richard remained several
years without a partner.

In May, 1768, a singular disposition was made of the
paper. The dispute between Great Britain and the colo-
nies induced the government particularly to patronize
The Massachusetts Gazette, and another paper, the Boston
Post Boy and Advertiser, printed by Green and Russell.

1 The king's arms were first introduced into the title page of the Laws
of Massachusetts, 1692.

26 History of Printing in America.

To give them the features and the consequence of govern-
mental papers, the publishers of them were directed to
insert in the title of each paper, " Published by Authority."
The News Letter was published on Thursdays, and the
Post Boy on Mondays. Each paper was divided into two
equal parts. Half of each paper was entitled, " The
Massachusetts Gazette, Published by Authority ; " and
the other half bore their former respective titles. For
instance, the old title of Boston News Letter was reassumed,
and under this title, news and advertisements filled one half
of a whole sheet ; the other half of this sheet was entitled,
" The Massachusetts Gazette, Published by Authority; "
the contents of this half, like the other, being news, adver-
tisements, and, occasionally, the proceedings of government
and public bodies. The same method was taken by Green
and Russell. One half of the sheet bore the title of Post
Boy and Advertiser, and the other half that of " The
Massachusetts Gazette, Published by Authority." Two
hundred and seventy-six weeks previously to this new
mode of publication, Draper had added Massachusetts
Gazette to the title of the News Letter. Green and Russell
began publishing in the mode described, on Monday, and
Draper on Thursday of the week. Green and Russell there-
fore numbered that part of their sheet which was to bear the
title of Massachusetts Gazette, 277. Draper on the Thurs-
day following numbered his 278, and as long as this mode
of publishing the Gazette by authority continued, the
number for one press was reckoned from that of the other.
It was in fact publishing a half sheet Gazette " By Au-
thority" twice in a week, once by Draper and once by
Green and Russell. Each press furnished the royal arms
for the head of the Gazette.

The first time Draper published this " Adam and Eve
paper," joined together " by authority," the following ad-
vertisement was inserted after the title of the News-Letter.

Newspapers. — Massachusetts. 27

" The Thursday's paper1 (the first ever printed in Ame-
rica) returns to its primitive Title, the Gazette being
directed by Authority to be published in another manner.
The customers will be served with Care and Fidelity;
and those who advertise herein may depend on having
their Notifications well circulated.

" N. B. A Gazette will accompany the News Letter
every Thursday (tho' not always in a separate paper)
Articles of Intelligence and of publick Utility will be
thankfully received, and due notice taken of them by di-
recting to Richard Draper."

This method of publishing the Gazette was discontinued
at the close of September 1769, and Draper reestablished
the title as it stood at the beginning of May, 1768, viz.
The Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly News Letter.
" Published by Authority," was omitted; but it continued
to be a government paper.

In May, 1774, Draper took John Boyle as a partner in
publishing the News Letter ; the next month Draper died.
His widow, Margaret Draper, succeeded him as proprietor
of the paper, and Boyle was for a short time her partner ;
but they separated before the commencement of the revo-
lutionary war. After the war began, John Howe became
her partner, and remained in business with her until the
British troops left Boston in 1776 ; when the publication
of the News-Letter ceased, and was never revived.

Thus began .and ended The Boston News Letter. It
was the first newspaper published in this country, and the
only one printed in Boston during the siege. I have taken
more particular notice of this first paper, than I shall of
those which follow. It was published seventy-two years.

For several years before the revolution, many able
writers on the side of government, and some of its first

officers, under various signatures, appeared in this paper ;
and while conducted by Kichard Draper, its collection of
news was not inferior to that of any public journal in
Boston.

John Campbell, the first proprietor, lived about five
years after he resigned his right to Green. His death is
thus mentioned in the News Letter of March 7, 1728.
" On Monday Evening last, the 4th Currant, about 8 a Clock,
died here John Campbell, Esq, Aged 75 Years, formerly
Post Master in this Place, Publisher of the Boston News
Letter for many Years, and One of his Majesties Justices
of the Peace for the County of Suffolk."

NEIV-ENGLAND. No. 1.

THE
Bofton Gazette.

Published by Authority.

From Monday December 14, to Monday December 21, 1719.

This newspaper was first published for William Brooker,
who succeeded Campbell as postmaster. It was the
second which made its appearance in British America.

No. 1 was issued from the press on Monday, December
21, 1719, on a half sheet of printing foolscap, on a small
pica type, folio ; and it was continued on a half sheet of
that size of paper for several years, excepting occasionally
a whole sheet, and then one page was often left blank. It
had a cut of a ship on the left, and one of a postman on the
right of the title, and was " Published by Authority." Its
imprint was, "Boston : Printed by J. Franklin, and may
be had at the Post Office, where advertisements are taken
in." This paper also began the year with March the first
year, but the following with January.

Newspapers. — Massachusetts. 29

The appearance of the Gazette ' occasioned some alterca-
tion between its publisher and the publisher of the News-
Letter. In No. 3, we have the following advertisement.

" Post Office, January 4th. The Approbation this Paper
has already met with from the better Part of the Town, de-
serves a suitable Acknowledgment from this office, with
repeated assurances, that it shall be carried on in such a
manner as to render it both beneficial and entertaining."

The proprietor, printer and publisher of the Gazette,
were soon changed. Philip Musgrave succeeded Brooker
as postmaster a few weeks after the Gazette was published.
No. 36, is printed by S. Kneeland; and the imprint of No.
41, is, " Boston Printed by S. Kneeland, for Philip Mus-
grave, Post Master, at his Office in Corn-Hill, where Adver-
tisements are taken in, and all Gentlemen and others, may
be Accommodated with this Paper."

The Gazette was printed by Kneeland for Musgrave until
1726, and that year it was printed by Kneeland for Thomas
Lewis, postmaster.

In 1727, Henry Marshall was postmaster, and the Ga-
zette had another printer, Bartholomew Green, son of the
printer of the News-Letter. It was printed for Marshall
till May, 1732, when Ke died, and the Gazette was after
his death published by John Boydell, who succeeded
Marshall, and was again printed by Kneeland and his
partner. In 1734, Ellis Huske, being appointed postmaster,
began the publication of another paper, The Post-Boy ; but

This was the first of them.

8 From the Boston Gazette, of December 17, 1739. " On Tuesday last
died here in the 49th year of his age, John Boydell, Esq. ; late Publisher
of this Paper, and some time Deputy Post-Master within this and the three
neighboring Governments ; than whom none ever lived in this Province
more generally esteem'd and beloved, as an honest worthy man, by Per-

until October, 1741, when Kneeland & Green became the
proprietors of it. Four postmasters in succession had
conducted The Boston Gazette, before it was owned by
Kneeland & Green. When this paper became their pro-
perty, they incorporated it with The New England Weekly
Journal, which they had printed on their own account for
nearly fifteen years. The title was altered to The Boston
Gazette and Weekly Journal, to show that the Journal was
combined with the Gazette. Kneeland & Green continued
to publish the Gazette in this altered form until 1752.
This paper then, after having been published thirty-three
years, was succeeded by another with the same title, which
I shall mention in its place.

When Kneeland & Green began to publish the Gazette
and Journal conjointly, on their own account, they printed
it on a half sheet of paper of the size of foolscap, in quarto,
and introduced new devices. " Published by Authority,"
had been omitted in the title many years.

While the Gazette was printed for Boydell, its size was
altered to a half sheet crown, in quarto; and, after he
quitted the postoffice, the cut of a postman on horseback,
on the right of the title, was exchanged for a pine tree.
When Kneeland & Green began to publish it for them-
selves, the cut of a ship was placed on the right of the

sons of all Ranks, Perswasions and Parties, or was more lamented as such
at his Death. He first came over from England into this Country in the
year 1716, Secretary to the late worthy Governor Shute, and Register of
the Court of Vice Admiralty for this Province, New-Hampshire and
Rhode-Island ; after which he was appointed Register of the Court of
Probate of Wills, &c, for the County of Suffolk, and Naval officer for the
Port of Boston ; all which offices he discharged with such singular dili-
gence, integrity and goodness, that this community never lost a more use-
ful and valuable member, than he was in his degree and station."

The Boston Gazette, of the same date, contains the following advertise-
ment :

" This is to acquaint the Publick, That this Paper will be carried on as
usual for the Benefit of the Family of the late Publisher Mr. John Boydell,
deceased."

title ; the pine tree was omitted, and the cut of a news-
carrier, holding a Gazette in his hand, was introduced on
the left. After printing it several years in quarto, they
again printed it on a half sheet foolscap, folio ; but occa-
sionally in quarto. This paper was discontinued in 1752,
on account of the dissolution of the partnership of its pub-
lishers.

The New-England C OUR A NT.

This was the third newspaper which made its appear-
ance in Boston. It was first printed and published Monday,
August 17, 1721, by James Franklin, on a half sheet of
crown size printing paper, on a small pica type, occasion-
ally on long primer, but after two years generally on
pica. It was printed on Saturdays during the latter years
of its publication. Imprint — " Boston : Printed by James
Franklin, in Queen Street, where Advertisements are taken

in."

Among the reasons which induced Franklin to publish
the Courant, probably one, which was not the least con-
siderable, was grounded on the circumstance of the pub-
lisher of the Gazette having taken the printing of it from
him, and given it to another printer. He warmly attacked
Musgrave, the publisher of the Gazette, in some of the
first numbers of the Courant, and endeavored to have him
turned out of office.

The Courant contained very little news, and very few
advertisements. More than half of the paper was, with few
exceptions, filled weekly with essays, in which men in
office, the clergy, aud the prevailing religious opinions of
the day, were attacked. Inoculation for the small pox,
then newly introduced, was warmly, if not rudely, opposed.
A society of gentlemen furnished these essays. By moder-

32 History of Printing in America.

ate people this society was called a set of " Free Thinkers ; "
by others, it was denominated the " Hell Fire Club." The
essays of this society were at times opposed in the Gazette,
and in the News Letter ; and these papers in turn were
warmly attacked in the Courant, but rather by satire than
argument. Some of the essays in the Courant were evi-
dently written by men of talent.

A periodical paper with these animating features was a
novelty in Boston ; and of course attracted general notice,
and soon had warm advocates and .zealous opposers. It
roused the attention of the government, and excited clerical
resentment. The reverend Doctor Increase Mather was
one of the first who openly denounced the Courant, by an
address to the public, inserted in the Boston Gazette, Janu-
ary 29, 172£. This address may afford entertainment to
many who are acquainted with the present management
of the press. It is as follows :

4 ' Advice to the Public k from Dr. Increase Mather. Whereas
a wicked Libel called the New England Courant, has repre-
sented me as one among the Supporters of it ; I do hereby
declare, that altho' I had paid for two or three of them, I
then, (before the last Courant was published) sent him
word I was extremely offended with it ! In special, because
in one of his Vile Gourants he insinuates, that if ike Minis-
ters of God approve of a thing, it is a Sign it is of the Devil ;
which is a horrid thing to be related ! And altho' in one
of the Gourants it is declared, that the London Mercury
Sept. 16, 1721, affirms that Great Numbers of Persons in
the City and Suburbs are under the Inoculation of the
Small Pox ; In his next Courant he asserts, that it was
some Busy Inoculator, that imposed on the Publick in saying
so ; Whereas I myself saw and read those words in the
London Mercury : And he doth frequently abuse the Minis-
ters of Religion, and many other worthy Persons in a man-
ner, which is intolerable. For these and such ljke Reasons

Newspapers. — Massachusetts. 33

I signified to the Printer, that I would have no more of
their Wicked Courants. I that have known what New Eng-
land was from the Beginning, cannot but be troubled to
see the Degeneracy of this Place. I can well remember
when the Civil Government would have taken an effectual
Course to suppress such a Cursed Libel ! which if it be not
done I am afraid that some Awful Judgment will come upon
this Land, and that the Wrath of God will arise , and there
will be no Remedy. I cannot but pity poor Franklin, who,
tho' but a Young Man, it may be Speedily he must appear
before the Judgment Seat of God, and what answer will
he give for printing things so vile and abominable ? And I
cannot but Advise the Supporters of this Courant to consi-
der the Consequences of being Partakers in other Mens
Sins, and no more Countenance such a Wicked Paper.
January 24th, 1721." *

This address was attacked in the next Courant with con-
siderable ability ; and its writers went on as usual.

The New-England Courant had not been published twelve
months before Franklin was apprehended by an order from
government, and imprisoned four weeks in the common
jail. Besides this punishment of the publisher, the council
further manifested their disapprobation of the Courant by
the following resolve.

"In Council, July 5th, 1722."
" Whereas in the Paper called the New England Courant,
printed Weekly by James Franklin, many passages have
been published boldly reflecting on His Majesty's Govern-
ment and on the Administration of it in this Province, the
Ministry, Churches and College; and it very often contains
Paragraphs that tend to fill the Readers minds with vanity
to the Dishonor of God, and disservice of Good Men.

1721, instead of 1722 agreeably to the new style.

"Kesolved, that no such "Weekly Paper be hereafter
Printed or Published without the same be first perused and
allowed by the Secretary, as has been usual. And that
the said Franklin give Security before the Justices of tbe
Superior Court in the Sum of 1001. to be of the good Be-
haviour to the End of the next Fall Sessions of this Court.
Sent down for Concurrence."

" Read and Non-concurred."

The failure of the council to restrain the freedom of the
press in respect to the Courant, and the release of its
printer from imprisonment, encouraged the club to pro-
ceed with increased boldness. An essay published the
week following is thus headed :

" And then, after they had anathematized and curs 'd a Man
to the Devil, and the Devil did not, or would not take him, then
to make the Sheriff and the Jaylor to take the Devil's Leavings.
Postscript to HickeringilFs Sermons on the horrid Sin of
Man Catching, Page 39."

The club also published the twenty-ninth chapter of
Magna Charta, with comments j1 and then applied the
Lash,2 as it was termed, with the greater energy, especially
to the governor and some of the clergy. The governor soon
after went to England.3

On the 14th January, 1723, the council again took The
New-England Courant into consideration, and passed an
order thereon, which was sent down to the house of repre-
sentatives. In consequence of which the following act was
passed, and ordered to be published three weeks success-
ively in The Boston News Letter, and in the B,osion Gazette.

Notwithstanding this act of government, Franklin pub-
lished the Courant on the Monday following without sub-
mitting its contents to the Secretary. For this neglect, a
' ' Bill of Indictment was some months after preferred to
the grand jury against him for contempt of an order of

bill, but Franklin was bound to the good behavior pur-
suant to the order of the General court."

The act of government was voluntarily published in the
Courant; and it also appeared in The American Weekly
Mercury of February 26th, 172f, published in Philadelphia,
with the following severe remarks, which were unques-
tionably furnished by the Courant club in Boston, viz.

" My Lord Coke observes, That to punish first and then
enquire, the Law abhors, but here Mr. Franklin has a severe
sentence pass'd upon him 6ven to the taking away Part of
his Livelihood, without being called to make Answer. An

Couranto, That the Assembly of the Province of the Mas-
sachusetts Bay are made up of Oppressors and Bigots who
make Religion only the Engine of Destruction to the
People ; and the rather, because the first Letter in the
Courant of the 14th of January (which the Assembly Cen-
sures) so naturally represents and exposes the Hypocritical
Pretenders to Religion. Indeed, the most famous Politicians
in that Government (as the infamous Gov. D — and his
Family) have ever been remarkable for Hypocrisy; and
it is the general Opinion that some of their Rulers are rais'd
up and continued as a Scourge in the Hands of the Al-
mighty for the Sins of the People. Thus much we could
not forbear saying, out of Compassion to the distressed
People of the Province, who must now resign all Pretences
to Sense and Reason, and submit to the Tyranny of Priest-
craft, and Hypocrisy. P. S. .By private Letters from Boston
we are informed, That the Bakers there are under great
Apprehensions of being forbid baking any more Bread,
unless they will submit to the Secretary as Supervisor
General and Weigher of the Dough, before it is baked into
Bread, and offered to Sale."

Franklin and the Courant Club did not choose to sub-
mit the contents of that paper, before publishing it, to the
secretary of the government for his approbation. After
deliberating what was best to be done to evade the act, it
was determined to alter the imprint by leaving out the
name of James, and inserting that of Benjamin Franklin.1
This determination was carried into immediate effect.

1 The Courant, No. 80, was thus introduced to the public. " The late
Publisher of this Paper finding so many inconveniences would arise by
his carrying the Manuscripts and publick News to be supervis'd by the
Secretary, as to render his carrying it on unprofitable, has intirely dropt
the Undertaking : The present Publisher of this Paper, having receiv'd
the following Piece, desires the Readers to accept of it as a Preface to
what they may hereafter meet with in this Paper."

Then follows an address to the public in which the club are men-
tioned as the writers in the Courant, and that one of them designated by

38 History of Printing in America.

The Courant now purported to be " printed and sold by
Benjamin Franklin in Queen Street," although he was a
minor. The club proceeded without any apparent mitiga-
tion of " the Lash." The Courant was published in the
name of Benjamin Franklin for some time after he left his
brother ; and, for anything that appears, until its publica-
tion ceased in the beginning of the year 1727. Before this
paper was discontinued, the writers for it became languid,
and for months in succession no original essay appeared.

James Franklin, at a subsequent period, removed to
Newport, and established the first press in Rhode Island.
The Courant was published about six years.

the name of " Old Janus, is Couranteery The following is an extract
from this address. " The main Design of this Weekly Paper will be to
entertain the Town with the most comical and diverting Incidents of
Human Life, which in so large a place as Boston, will not fail of a uni-
versal Exemplification : Nor shall we be wanting to fill up these Papers
with a grateful interspersion of more serious Morals, which may be drawn
from the most ludicrous and odd Parts of Life."

[A reprint in fac simile of this Courant, No. 80, was issued in 1856, in
which it was claimed that it had been printed on a press once used by
Benjamin Franklin. It corresponds with the description given above,
and is dated February 11, 1723. At the end is this notice :

" * | * This paper having met with so general an Acceptance in Town
and Country, as to require a far greater Number of them to be printed,
than there is of the other publick Papers ; and it being besides more
generally read by a vast Number of Borrowers, who do not take it in, the
Publisher thinks proper to give this publick Notice for the Incourage-
ment of those who would have Advertisements inserted in the public
Prints, which they may have printed in this Paper at a moderate Price."

The NEW-ENGLAND

Weekly JOURNAL.

Containing the most Remarkable Occurrences Foreign and Domestick.

This paper was first published March 20th, 1727, on a
half sheet of foolscap size, folio. At first it was pub-
lished on Mondays ; but, after several years, Tuesday was
substituted. Imprint — " Boston, Printed by S. Kneeland,
at the Printing-House in Queen-Street, where Advertise-
ments are taken in." See Appendix _D.

During the first year of the Journal, several literary
gentlemen furnished it with short essays on miscellaneous
subjects, more however of a moral than a political nature,
and which, although well written, did not occasion the
excitement in the public mind which was produced by
the writers for the Courant.

The first year, the editor of the Journal assumed the
name of " Proteus Echo, Esq." In No. 3, he requests those
who will do him the honor to contribute to the embellish-
ment of his Journal, to direct to him at Mr. Samuel Knee-
land's in Queen-Street ; and he gives a humorous account
of himself. In No. 4, he describes, in the same manner,
his associates, among whom he mentions " two divines
who sometimes did themselves the honor of half an
hour's setting," &c, and observes, that the gentlemen,
whom he had described, " will have no inconsiderable hand
in these weekly entertainments." At the close of the first
year, the editor presents his " gratitude to those generous
hands which have made such considerable presents to the
authors of these Essays." He mentions a piece of Spanish
gold from a gentleman, and a silver pen from a lady ;

40 History of Printing in America.

and lie then informs his readers that, a year being com-
pleted since the first publication of the Journal, the essay
then published " is the last piece which will be published
by the gentlemen who begun and have till now supplied
this paper." He concludes by observing that the writers
were three in number, one of whom supplied the poetry,
and signed his pieces with one of the letters composing
the word Musos..

The second year, the Journal was not supplied with ori-
ginal essays j1 the third year, it contained eighteen num-
bers, moral and entertaining, supposed by some to have
been -principally composed by governor Burnet; they
began the January after his arrival at Boston, and ceased
a few weeks before his death. I have seen a file of the
Journal, containing these numbers, with an index written
by a former proprietor of the volume, whom I suppose to
have been one of those who wrote for the Journal during
the first year of its publication. In this index the eighteen
numbers are noticed thus, "Speculation-GovL No. 1." 2, &c.

The collection of foreign and domestic intelligence for
the Journal, even for that day, was but indifferent, though
not much inferior to the other Boston papers. In the
head, preceding the title, a signature was inserted weekly,
the signification of which I have not ascertained — it was a
letter of the alphabet ; first, A, with a figure after it, was
used for several months, changing the figure weekly ; then

1 A reprint in fac simile of No. LV of this paper, dated April 8, 1728,
bears the imprint of S. Kneeland & T. Green. It is stated that
" There are Measures concerting for rendring this Paper yet more univer-
sally esteemed, and useful, in which 'tis hop'd the Publick will be grati-
fied, and by which those Gentlemen who desire to be improved in History,
Philosophy, Poetry, &c. will be greatly advantaged." It is mentioned
that the burials in Boston for the past week were five whites and one
black. The baptisms in the several churches, nine. A very likely negro
woman and a very likely negro girl are advertised to be sold, while Mr.
Nathaniel Pigott advertises to open a school for negroes in Mr. Checkley's

B took the place of A, and so on ; but the same letter did
not appear to be continued for any definite period. After
two or three years, the signature consisted of a letter with-
out a figure.

When S. Kneeland had published the Journal four
months, to his name in the imprint was added that of T.
Green. For the first year of the partnership there was a
singularity of this kind. The imprint to the Journal was,
"Printed by S. Kneeland and T. Green," etc., yet Green
alone, it seems, was responsible for the correctness of the
paper, and appears to have been the sole conductor of it.
In such advertisements, published in the Journal, as re-
quired explanation, the public were requested to " enquire
of the Printer."

In the Journal of February 3, 1729, the following notice
appeared : " The Printer of this paper would have emitted
herewith his Desire, that some errors of the last Journal
might be laid to his Charge ; he not having then any Per-
son by Him to correct the Press as usual, and being since
convinced that they are his own ; such as " fresh passage,
Imation, Piquanry — distin'd — Spectable — Dictors —
execated — Vengance — Destracted : with a few other slips
which if the Reader pardons, he will oblige The Printer."
Immediately after this notice, the imprint, " S. Kneeland
& T. Green " stands as usual. This may be explained by
observing, that Kneeland committed the printing of the
Journal to Green, and for four or five years after their
partnership commenced, himself kept a bookshop in King's
street. The shop occupied the attention of Kneeland ; and
although the Journal was printed in the name of Kneeland &
Green, yet the former was considered as the proprietor,
and the latter as the printer, and the profits were shared
between them. Judge Danforth, and the Rev. Mather
Byles, the elder, it is said were the principal editors of the
Journal, and often corrected the press. Mr. Byles, it is

42 History of Printing in America.

also said, wrote many of the poetical and other essays in
that paper.

Kneeland gave up his bookshop about the year 1742 ;
and afterwards attended wholly to printing. Essays, etc.,
were subsequently addressed to the publishers, and people
were directed to inquire of the printers, etc.

The New England Weekly Journal was published nearly
fifteen years by the same printers, and without any alter-
ation of the title or the imprint. -At the close of the year
1741, this paper was incorporated with the Boston Gazette
by Kneeland & Green, who then became proprietors of
that paper, and the title of the paper so consolidated was,
The Boston Gazette and Weekly Journal. The imprint was
as before, with the addition of " Price 16a. a year, and 20s.
seal'd," paid quarterly.

The printers of this paper were great advocates of the
reverend George Whitefield, the reverend Mr. Edwards,
&c. The reverend Thomas Prince was supposed to have
taken an active part in the publication of this paper, and
for a time to have assisted in correcting the press. The
first publication that issued was a general prospectus,
without any number. The second publication was num-
bered 1.

The Journal was incorporated with the Gazette in 1741 ;
and, in 1752, the Gazette was discontinued, twenty-five
years after the first publication of the Journal.

JHonban, September 27, 1731.

This paper was published on a half sheet of printing
foolscap, folio, on a small pica type ; and was established
by a young gentleman of great literary talents, who after-

Newspapers. — Massachusetts. 43

wards became a celebrated law character j1 and Monday was
the day of its publication. It was not numbered the first
forty-six weeks.

The first paper was printed September 27, 1731. The
imprint — " Boston : Printed by J. Draper, for the Author,
by whom Advertisements are taken in." Afterwards,
" Printed by J. Ih-aper, for the Author. Advertisements
are. taken in by Mr. Hancock, at the Bible and Three
Crowns in Ann-Street, 1732." For the first six weeks,
mottos in Latin from the classics were inserted after the
title. The motto was different in each week ; and, for the
first six months, with very few exceptions, a moral or en-
tertaining essay was weekly published in the Rehearsal,
which usually filled more than half the paper. These
essays were sometimes selected, but generally original. Be-
fore the termination of one year, its original essays were dis-
continued, and it had become a mere vehicle of intelligence.

Thomas Fleet began to print it with No. 47, and it
appears, by an advertisement in that number, that he was
interested in the publication. It became a good paper for
foreign and domestic news, but was no longer a literary
journal.

On April 2, 1733, Fleet became the sole proprietor of
the Rehearsal, and thus announced it to the public :

" The Gentleman who first set up and has hitherto been
interested in this Paper, having now resigned all 'his Right
and Interest therein into the hands of the Subscriber, the
Subscriber thinks himself obliged to give publick Notice
thereof, and informs all such as have taken, or may here-
after take it, that as he has settled a Correspondence with
Gentlemen in London, and most of the principal Towns
within this and the neighbouring Governments, and is

Massachusetts Bay.

favoured with the Acquaintance of many intelligent Persons
in Boston, he doubts not but he shall be able to make the
Rehearsal as Useful and entertaining as any of the Papers
now published. And the better to effect it, requests all
Gentlemen in Town or Country who may be possessed of
any thing new or curious, whether in the Way of News or
Speculation, worthy the publick View, to send the same
to him, and it will be gratefully received and communi-
cated for the Entertainment of the polite and inquisitive
Part of Mankind. The publisher of this paper declares
himself of no Party, and invites all Gentlemen of Leisure
and Capacity, inclined on either Side, to write any thing
of a political Nature, that tends to enlighten and serve the
Publick, to communicate their Productions, provided they
are not overlong, and confined within Modesty and Good
Manners ; for all possible Care will be taken that nothing
contrary to these shall ever be here published. And
whereas the publishing of Advertisements in the Weekly
News Papers has been found of great Use (especially in
such as are sent thro' all the Governments as this is) this
may inform all Persons, who shall have Occasion, that
they may have their Advertisements published in this
Paper upon very easy Terms, and that any Customer for
the Paper shall be served much cheaper than others. And
whereas the Price of this Paper was set up at twenty
Shillings per Year, and so paid till this time ; the present
Undertaker being willing to give all possible Encourage-
ment to his Readers has now reduced it to Sixteen Shil-
lings ; and offers all Gentlemen who are willina- to hold a
Correspondence, and shall frequently favour him with any
thing that may tend to the Embellishment of the Paper, to
supply them with one constantly free from Charge. And
considering it is impossible for half a Sheet of Paper to con-
tain all the Remarkable News that may happen to be brought
in upon the Arrival of Ships from England or other extraor-

dinary Occurrences ; the Publisher therefore proposes in
all such Cases, to Print a Sheet of what he judges most
Material, and shall continue to send the Paper to all such
as have hitherto taken it, until he is advised to the contrary
by those determined to drop it, which he hopes will not
be many. Thomas Fleet"

The imprint from No. 79 to 202, August 11, 1735, when
the Rehearsal was discontinued, was, " Boston Printed by
T. Fleet, at the Heart and Crown in Cornhill, where
Advertisements are taken in. Advertisements are also
taken in by Mr. N. Belknap, Bookseller, near Clark's
Wharf, at the North End. Price 16s. per year."

It was Fleet's intention to alter the time of publication
from Monday morning to Monday evening, as appears
from an advertisement published in the last number of the
Rehearsal, viz :

" M£§~ The Publisher of this Paper hereby gives Notice,
that he intends for the Future to print it every Monday
Evening (having the Approbation and Advice of several
Gentlemen in Town, who are his customers) and will take
Care to collect and publish not only the most fresh and
authentic Advices from abroad, but also what occurs
among Ourselves or Neighbours, worthy the publick View ;
And all the Readers in Town may depend upon having
it left at their Houses some Time before Dark, (unless
upon extraordinary Occasions) whioh may be a Diversion
after the Business of the Day, now the Evenings are grown
pretty long.'" But Fleet, the next week, instead of con-
tinuing the Rehearsal, published a paper with the title of
The Boston Evening Post; he, however, numbered it 203,
as -a continuation of the Rehearsal ; but on the following
Monday, the Evening Post was numbered 2. The Rehearsal
was discontinued after being published nearly four years.

MONDAY, Odober, 1734.

Postmasters established the first two newspapers pub-

claim a right to such publications, or at least to think that
a newspaper was an appendage to their office. Ellis Huske 1
being appointed postmaster of Boston, and Boydell not
choosing to resign the Boston Gazette, Huske began in
October, 1734, the publication of another paper, entitled
The Boston Weekly Post-Boy . It was at first printed on a
half sheet of small demy, in quarto, but soon after on a
half sheet of crown, in quarto, on a small pica type. Huske
retained the device of the postman, and the ship, on the
right and left of the title, which had hitherto appeared in
the Boston Gazette published by his predecessors. The
Post-Boy was published on Mondays ; no printer's name
appeared.2 The imprint was, " Boston ; Printed for Ellis
Huske, Post-Master : Advertisements taken in at the Post-
Office in King's-Street, over against the North-Door of
the Town-House, where all Persons in Town or Country
may be supplied with this Paper." This imprint was con-

nies. He was brother to General Huske, who distinguished himself at the
battles of Dettingen and Culloden. He had a son, bred a merchant in
Boston, who was afterward a member of the British parliament. Huske
was superseded in the department of the post office by Franklin and
Hunter. [The son (John) is supposed to be the same who published a
work, entitled The Present State of North America, 4to, Lond., 1755 ; and
also the same who, as a member of parliament in 1764, proposed to lay a
tax on the colonies, which would amount to £500,000 per annum, which
he said they were well able to pay. See Drake's Boston, 598, 679, 708. — K]

tinued, without the name of the printer, during the twenty
years of its publication, which began and ended with Huske.
I have never seen any number of this paper after December,
1754 ; but, I believe, it was continued until within a few
weeks of the time when the provincial stamp act took place,
in 1755.

Nothing extraordinary attended this publication. Its
features were much like those of the News-Letter and the
Gazette. Towards its close it was reduced to half a sheet
foolscap, folio. It was not uncommon for the publishers
of the New England Journal, and those of the Gazette, to
vary the size of their papers, and to print them on half a
sheet folio or quarto, of different sizes, as they found it con-
venient. Most of the paper then used in America was im-
ported from Europe, and paper of a particular size could
not, at all times, be obtained.

The devices in the title were twice engraved anew dur-
ing its publication. Those last engraved were, afterwards,
made use of by Green and Russell, when they began to
publish The Boston Weekly Advertiser.

Fleet having discontinued the Rehearsal on Monday,
August 11, 1735, began the publication of The Boston
Evening Post on the evening of the following Monday. It
was printed on a half sheet of large foolscap printing paper.
He commonly made use of paper of this description, ex-
cepting when he printed a whole sheet ; then he generally
used the smaller size of foolscap or pot. The imprint —

in Cornhill, where advertisements are taken in at a mode-
rate Price." Excepting in the title, the Evening Post did
not differ from the Rehearsal. It was the best newspaper
then published in Boston. The selection of entertaining
and amusing pieces from London publications, and some
of Fleet's own humorous paragraphs gave it animation,
and its news were well selected and seasonably published.
It interfered very little with political controversy, and not
greatly with religious disputes. Fleet was a wit, and no
bigot ; he did not appear to be a great friend to itinerant
preachers ; and he was not, like the brethren of the type
of that day, afraid to attack the highly popular, and greatly
distinguished itinerant preacher Whitefield.

A paragraph was published in the Evening Post of
March 8, 1741, which was next day taken notice of by the
governor and council, who ordered an information to be
filed against Fleet, that he might be prosecuted at the next
superior court. How the affair ended I never knew, but
probably a prosecution did not take place, as Fleet pro-
cured five respectable persons to testify to the truth of the
contents of the paragraph. See Appendix E.

Fleet had a peculiar faculty in wording his advertise-
ments. The following advertisements of negroes appeared
in the Evening Post, in April 1758. " To be sold by the
Printer of this Paper, a Negro Man, about thirty years old,
who can do both Town and Country Business very well,
but will suit the Country best, where they have not so
many Dram Shops as we' have in Boston. He has worked
at the Printing Business fifteen or sixteen years; can
handle an ax, Saw, Spade, Hoe, or other Instrument of
Husbandry as well as most Men, and values himself, and
is valued by others, for his skill in Cookery and making of
Soap." "Also, a very valuable Negro Woman, about
thirty years old, (sold only for her frequent pregnancy),
with a fine healthy Boy two years old."

Newspapers. — Massachusetts. 49

In June of the same year, in a dunning advertisement
to his customers, he adds, " In the days of Mr. Campbell,
who published a newspaper here, which is forty years ago,
Paper was bought for eight or nine shillings a Ream,1 and
now tis Five Pounds ; his Paper was never more than half
a sheet, and that he had Two Dollars a year for, and had
also the Art of getting his Pay for it; and that Size has con-
tinued till within a little more than one year, since which
we are expected to publish a whole Sheet, so that the
Paper now stands us in near as much as all the other
charges." See Appendix F.

Fleet continued to publish the Evening Post until he
died, in 1758. His sons, Thomas and John, in copartner-
ship, continued it with much approbation, till April 1775,
when the revolutionary war occasioned its immediate
termination. It was published forty years.2

When T. and J. Fleet succeeded their father, they in-
troduced a cut of their sigu, the Heart and Crown, into the
centre of the title of the Evening Post, and published it
every Monday morning instead of Monday evening.

This paper was of a political cast. It was first published

device in the centre of its title was a large cut of Bri-
tannia liberating a bird confined by a cord to the arms
of France. Britannia is represented sitting, the arms of
France lying on the ground before her ; the bird is on the
wing, but being impeded by the cord, one end of which is
fastened to the arms of France, and the other to the bird,
Britannia is in the act of cutting the cord with a pair of
shears, that the bird may escape.

This paper was published weekly on Tuesday, but .the
day of the week was not mentioned in the title. The
imprint: " Boston : Printed and Sold by Rogers & Fowle
in Queen-Street, next to the Prison, where Advertisements
are taken in at a reasonable Price. And all Gentlemen
and others may be supplied with this paper." This, like
all the English American newspapers then published, had
two columns to a page.

The following is an extract from a pertinent and well
written address of the publishers to the public : " As our
present political state affords Matter for a variety of
Thoughts, of peculiar Importance to the good People of
New-England, we purpose to insert every thing of that
Nature that may be pertinently and decently wrote. For
ourselves, we declare we are of no Party, neither shall we
promote the narrow and private Designs of any such.
We are ourselves free, and our Paper shall be free — free as
the Constitution we enjoy — free to Truth, good Manners,
and good Sense, and at the same time free from all licen-
tious Reflections, Insolence and Abuse. Whatsoever may
be adapted to State and Defend the Rights and Liberties
of Mankind, to advance useful Knowledge and the Cause
of Virtue, to improve the Trade, the Manufactures, and
Husbandry of the Country, whatever may tend to inspire
this People with a just and proper Sense of their own
Condition, to point out to them their true Interests, and
rouse them to pursue it, as also any Piece of Wit and

welcome reception. And although we do not altogether
depend upon the casual Benevolence of the Publick to
supply this Paper, yet we will thankfully receive every
Thing from every quarter conducing to the Good of the
Publick and our general Design.-"

The Advertiser was supplied with well written essays,
chiefly political. A number of gentlemen associated for
this purpose, among whom, we are told, was the late
governor Samuel Adams. This association consisted of
whigs, who advocated the rights of the people against
those measures of the government which were supposed
to infringe upon the privileges of the province secured by
charter.

The Advertiser was handsomely printed. It contained
but little foreign intelligence, and not much domestic
news. Its principal object was political discussion, as the
means to rouse the people of the colony to maintain their
rights. The continuance of this paper was short. Rogers
& Fowle dissolved their copartnership in April, 1750 ; and,
their Independent Advertiser ceased with their connection,
after being published two years.

This paper was published by Samuel Kneeland after

and was created upon its foundation. For the want of a
more appropriate device, a very singular cut was used in

lxxvth fable of CroxalFs Esop; representing the boy view-
ing himself in the glass, his little sister, who was offended
with his vanity, and their father who moralized on the sub-
ject of their difference.1

This Boston Gazette made its first appearance on Wed-
nesday, January 3, 1753. It was printed on a half sheet
of crown, quarto, on a new long primer type, with the fol-
lowing rather singular introduction after the title. " As
the Types generally us'd in the Printing of the late
Boston Gazette or Weekly Journal,2 are worn out, it has been
tho't proper, on the Return of the Year, to alter the Form
and Title of this Paper, as it now appears. ' Tis proposed
to publish the same, as usual, every Tuesday; and hope
Care will be taken to furnish it from Time to Time with
the most remarkable Occurrences, both of a foreign and
domestick Nature."

After the first number it was regularly published every
Tuesday, and continued to be printed in quarto, on paper
of the same size. No printer or publisher's name appeared
in the imprint, which was, " Boston : Printed opposite the
prison in Queen street, where Advertisements .are taken
in." This imprint remained unaltered the first year ; the
second year Kneeland added his name to it, and exchanged
the cut before mentioned, in the title, for a well executed
one of the arms of the province.3

Kneeland published this Gazette two years, when it was
discontinued on account of the provincial stamp act, and

good workman, whose name was Turner, of Boston. He was the best
engraver which appeared in the colonies before the revolution, especially
on type metal. D. Fowle having a part of. this set of cuts, used them
from time to time to decorate the title of The New Hampshire Gazette.

This was the third newspaper bearing the title of The
Boston Gazette. No. 1 was published April 7, 1755, on
a crown half sheet, from a long primer type. The title
had two cuts, which had before been used, the one for the
last Boston Gazette, and the other for the Independent
Advertiser. The province arms, or the Indian, was placed
on the left, and Britannia liberating a bird on the right of
the title ; but the disproportion in the width of the cuts,
Britannia being twice the width of the Indian, pressed the
title from the centre of the page, and destroyed the uni-
formity which would have been preserved had the parts
been properly arranged. The imprint, " Boston : Printed
by Benjamin Edes and John Gill, at their Printing-Office
near the East End of the Town-House, in King Street ;
where all persons may be supplied with this paper, and
where Advertisements are taken in. Also printing done
at a moderate Rate with Care and Dispatch." Edes and
Gill removed soon after to the printing house which had
been occupied by Rogers and Fowle, in Prison lane ; the
imprint was altered and shortened, and the Gazette was
occasionally printed on a whole sheet crown. About the
year 1760, it became a common custom in Boston to print
all newspapers on a whole sheet.

54 History of Printing in America.

Several of the gentlemen who had associated to write
for the Independent Advertiser, joined by some others,
encouraged the establishment of this paper ; they were the
editors of its literary department, and the purveyors of its
political information. During the long controversy be-
tween Great Britain and her American colonies, no paper
on the continent took a more active part in defence of the
country, or more ably supported its rights, than the Boston
Gazette ; its patrons were alert and ever at their posts, and
they had a primary agency in events which led to our
national independence.1

A provincial stamp act, or, as it was called, " An act for
granting to his Majesty several Duties on Vellum, Parch-
ment and Paper, for two years, towards the defraying'the
Charge of this Government," was passed by the legislature
of the province a few months before Edes & Gill began
the publication of the Boston Gazette, and it took effect
the first of May following. The act embraced newspapers,
which were to pay one-half penny for each paper. Of the
several newspapers which had been established in Boston
previously to this period, only three were now in being,
viz : the News-Letter, the Evening Post, and thk new Bos-
ton Gazette. These were all printed from May 1st, 1765, to
April 30, 1757, on paper stamped by the colonial govern-
ment. The figure of the stamp was round, of the size of
half a dollar, and the words " half penny -half penny,"
were inclosed between two circular lines, and formed the
border ; in the centre was a bird, probably meant for an

meetings were concocted many of the measures of opposition to the Brit-

eagle on the wing ; this device was stamped with red ink
on a corner of the sheet.1

In 1768, after the death of Samuel Kneeland, Edes & Gill
occupied his printing house, where the two former Boston
Gazettes, and the New England Weekly Journal had been
printed. There they continued to publish the Gazette, of
which they were proprietors, until April, 1775, when the
revolutionary war commenced. Before this event took
place, the device in the title underwent a change. The
figure of Britannia was exchanged for that of Minerva,
seated ; before her was a pedestal on which was placed a
cage ; Minerva with her left hand supported a spear, on
which was placed the cap of Liberty, and with her right
opened the door of the cage, and liberated a bird which
appeared in the act of flying towards a tree that stood at a
distance from a city. This cut was coarsely executed.

The publication of the Gazette was suspended from
April, 1775, to the 5th of June following, when Edes, hav-
ing set up a press at Watertown, renewed the printing of
the paper, and continued it until November, 1776, when
he returned to Boston, and again published the Gazette in
Queen street. Gill had no concern in printing the Gazette
after April, 1775 ; but in 1776 he began another paper,
entitled The Continental Journal.

Edes's sons, Benjamin and Peter,2 were, sometime after

Gazette. In 1784, Edes and his eldest son Benjamin,1
only, were together, and published this paper in Cornhill,
"No. 42,2 under the firm of Edes & Son ; and they intro-
duced a new cut — the goddess of liberty was represented
standing instead of sitting ; this was the only alteration in
the device ; but the following motto was added and en-
graved underneath the figures, " Libertas et natale solum"
The Gazette was printed afterwards in Marlborough street,
and then again in King street, now State street.

Some time after, Edes printed and published it on his
own account in Kilby street. But the Gazette no more
" thundered in the capitol." Its former writers were silent,
and age and infirmity overtook its publisher. The paper
however, lingered along, unnoticed by its rivals, and almost
by the public, to whom it had been a faithful and useful
servant, until 1798. Forty-five years having completed
their revolutions since its first publication, Edes at this time

BOSTON Post" Weekly Advertifer.

Containing tbefrejbeji Advices, [ Foreign and Domeftick.

This paper was first published August 22, 1757, by John
Green and Joseph Russell, in Queen street, printers and
copartners. It was printed weekly, on Mondays, with a
new long primer type, on paper of crown size, folio,
two columns in a page, and generally on a whole sheet.
The imprint — " Boston : Printed by Green and Russell,
opposite to the Probate-Office in Queen-Street, where all
Persons may be supplied with this Paper at Five Shillings
and Four Pence Lawful Money per Annum, and where
Advertisements are taken in, and all sorts of Printing
Work done at a moderate rate, with Care and Dispatch."

After it had been published about two years, the title
was altered to Green §■ Russell's Post-Boy and Advertiser, &c.
It was changed a second time, to The Boston Post-Boy and
Advertiser ; and again to The Massachusetts Gazette and Bos-
ton Post-Boy and Advertiser.

When its title was The Boston Weekly Advertiser, it had
for the first year the cut of the postboy in the centre of the
title ; the second year the ship was added. The cuts were
placed like those in the former Boston Post-Boy, published
for Huske, and were identically the same which had been
used for that paper ; the ship on the left, and the postman
on horseback on the right of the title. When the paper
was called The Massachusetts Gazette, &c, the old devices
were thrown aside, and the king's arms were substituted.
Its circulation was not extensive, and it was not distin-
guished for original essays of any kind, nor as the channel
of important intelligence ; but it was well printed, and

always on good types. All the printers in Boston were on
friendly terms respecting business ; their papers were all
of one size, and the columns and pages of one measure.
Draper printed the News-Letter on Thursdays. Columns
of news, advertisements, &c, in types, were weekly inter-
changed by Green & Russell with Draper. They followed
this practice as long as the Post-Boy was published by
Green & Russell, and found it very convenient. Their
readers did not complain, although whole columns, which
had been published in the News-Letter on Thursday, ap-
peared again from the same types, on the following Mon-
day, in the Post-Boy.

Green and Russell were appointed printers to the British
commissioners, and supplied the blanks and other work for
the custom house. This induced them, apparently, to be-
come advocates for the measures which the British ad-
ministration adopted toward the American colonies, and
accordingly The Boston Post-Boy, on the 23d of May, 1768,
appeared with the insignia of government. It had for
several }7ears been printed on a whole sheet, as other news-
papers in Boston then were. One-half of this sheet now
bore the title of, " The Massachusetts Gazette, Published
by Authority ; " and the other half, its usual title of Bos-
ton Post-Boy, &c, as has been already described.1 The
royal arms were substituted, in the title, for the postman
and the ship.

This mode of publication continued till September, 1769,
when printing the Gazette by Authority was discontinued,
and the Post-Boy and Gazette were united under the title
of The Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Post-Boy and Adver-
tiser, and the cut of the king's arms was retained.

same time, by Draper.

In April, 1773, Green & Russell resigned the printing
and publishing of this paper to Mills & Hicks, two young
printers, who, having, received patronage and encourage-
ment from the officers of the crown, &c, continued it with
renewed spirit ; and several good writers in favor of go-
vernment became its supporters, the animation and weight
of whose communications attracted more notice from the
public for the Post-Boy than it had before received. In
this manner the paper was printed until a short time after
the commencement of the war in 1775, when it was dis-
continued. The Weekly Advertiser was published about
eighteen years.

MONDAY, December 21, 1767.

From the first publication of The Boston Weekly Adver-
tiser, more than ten years passed before an attempt was
made to establish another newspaper in that town. During
this period four journals, viz : The News-Letter, The Eve-
ning Post, The Gazette, and The Advertiser, or Post-Boy,
were regularly published.

December 21, 1767, The Boston Chronicle was added to
the number. It was printed on a whole sheet demy, in
quarto, on a broad faced long primer, from an Edinburgh
foundery. It was published weekly, on Mondays, for the
first year, and intended to imitate in its appearance the
London Chronicle. The price per annum, being six shil-
lings and eight pence, was but a very small consideration
for a newspaper on a large sheet, and well executed. It
was " Printed by Mein and Fleming, in Newbury. Street,

60 History of Printing in America.

opposite the White Horse Tavern." Mein and Fleming
were Scotchmen. John Mein was a bookseller, and John
Fleming a printer. The Chronicle was published by Mein.
For the first year, this paper was well supplied with essays
on various subjects judiciously selected from British au-
thors, and it contained the celebrated letters of the Penn-
sylvania Farmer.1 It grew daily into reputation, and had
a handsome list of subscribers.

With the beginning of the second year, the size of the
paper was altered to a crown folio, and published every
Monday and Thursday, without any addition to the price.
This was the first newspaper published twice a week in
New England. Before the close of the second " year of
publication, its publisher, Mein, engaged in a political war-
fare with those who were in opposition to the measures of
the British administration. In the Chronicle he abused
numbers of the most respectable whigs in Boston ; and he
was charged with insulting the populace. To avoid the
effects of popular resentment, it became necessary for him
to leave the country. Fleming continued the Chronicle
during the absence of Mein, in the name of the firm ; but
it had fallen into disrepute, and its subscribers in rapid
succession withdrew their names. Many supposed that
Mein was privately assisted by the agents of government,
and several circumstances rendered this opinion probable.
But when the paper lost its subscribers it could neither be
profitable to its publishers, nor answer the design of its
supporters. Its publication, therefore, ceased on the 25th
of June, 1770. On this occasion its remaining subscribers
were thus addressed.

their subscriptions, and now inform them that, as the Chro-

either for their entertainment or the emolument of the
Printers, it will be discontinued for some time."
It was never revived.

The MaiTachufetts Spy.

Vol. I.] TUESDAY, August 7, 1770. [Numb. 2.

Although The Boston Chronicle had become unpopular,
and the times were deemed unfavorable for publishing a
new paper ; yet, under inauspicious circumstances, an at-
tempt was made to establish one on a new plan. The
Massachusetts Spy was calculated to obtain subscriptions
from mechanics, and other classes of people who had not
much time to spare from business. It was to be published
three times a week, viz : on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day. Twice in the week it was to be printed on a quarter
of a sheet, and once on' a half sheet. When published in
this way, news were conveyed fresh to subscribers, and the
contents of a Spy might with convenience be read at a
leisure moment.

This plan was detailed in the first number, which ap-
peared in July, 1770, and was sent gratis to the inhabitants
in all parts of the town. In a short time such a subscrip-
tion was obtained as to warrant a prosecution of the design,
and the publication of the Spy commenced with No. 2,
August 7, 1770, and was printed in this form for three
months by Z. Fowle and I. Thomas ; the partnership was
then dissolved ; and the Spy was continued by Thomas.

but published only on Mondays and Thursdays, each num-
ber containing half a sheet of large crown, in quarto. In
this manner the Spy was issued three months longer. At
the expiration of that time, the object of publishing it in
this introductory form being obtained, it was set aside to
make way for the appearance of a weekly newspaper on a
larger sheet than any that had at that time been published
in Boston.

Number 1, of this newspaper, was published March 7,
1771, on a whole sheet, royal size, folio, four columns in a
page. Massachusetts Spy, was in large German text, en-
graved on type metal between two cuts ; the device of the
cut on the left was the Goddess of Liberty sitting near a
pedestal, on which was placed a scroll, a part of which, with
the word spy on it, lay over on one side of the pedestal, on
which the right arm of Liberty rested. The device on the
right was, two infants making selections from a basket
filled with flowers and bearing this motto : " they cull
the choicest." The imprint, " Boston : Printed and
Published by Isaiah Thomas, in Union Street, near the
Market, where Advertisements are taken in." The day of
publication was Thursday. The majority of the customers
for the former Spy preferred the way in which it had been
published, and withdrew their subscriptions. On the ap-
pearance of this the subscribers did not amount to two
hundred, but after the first week they increased daily, and
in the course of two years the subscription list was larger

A number of gentlemen supplied. this paper with politi-
cal essays, which for the time were more particularly cal-
culated for that class of citizens who had compqsed the
great majority of its readers. For a few weeks some com-
munications were furnished by those who were in favor of
the royal prerogative, but they were exceeded by the writers
on the other side ; anil the authors and subscribers among
the tories denounced and quitted the Spy. The publisher
then devoted it to the cause of his country, supported by
the whigs, under whose banners he had enlisted.

Writers of various classes, in the whig interest, furnished
essays, which in a very considerable degree aided in pre-
paring the public mind for events which followed.

Common sense in common language is necessary to in-
fluence one class of citizens, as much as learning and
elegance of composition are to produce an effect upon
another. The cause of America was just, and it was only
necessary to state this cause in a clear and impressive
manner, to unite the American people in its support.

Several attempts were made by the government of the
province to prosecute the printer, but without effect. A
piece in No. 37, under the signature of Mucius Scsevola,
more particularly excited an attempt of this nature,
(see Appendix G). The printer had the further honor of
being exhibited and burnt in effigy by the royalists of
North Carolina, and he was threatened with having a coat
of tar and feathers by a regiment of British soldiers, which
paraded before his house.1

'A soldier in one of the British regiments stationed in Boston, instigated
by his officers, inveigled a countryman, one Thomas Ditson, jun., of Bil-
lerica, to purchase a musket. When the purchase was made, the officers
appeared, and the countryman was taken into custody, under pretence of
enticing the soldier to steal and sell the property of the king, &c. The
countryman was kept under guard during the night. Before daylight the
next morning, after a sham trial in the barracks, he was stripped of his

In October, 1772, the addition of Thomas's Boston Journal
was made to the title of the Spy ; a political motto from
Addison's Cato had been previously added.1

On the 7th of July, 1774, during the operation of the
Boston port bill2 so called, and just after the landing of four
additional regiments of troops, with a train of royal artil-
lery, a new political device appeared in the title of this
paper — a snake and a dragon. The dragon represented
Great Britain, and the snake the colonies. The snake was
divided into nine parts, the head was one part, and under
it N. E. as representing New England; the second part
N. Y. for New York ; the third N. J. for New Jersey ; the
fourth P. for Pennsylvania ; the fifth M. for Maryland; the
sixth V. for Virginia; the seventh N. C. for North Caro-
lina ; the eighth S. C. for South Carolina ; and the ninth
part, or tail, for Georgia. The head and tail of the snake
were supplied with stings, for defence against the dragon,
which appeared furious, and as bent on attacking the
snake. Over the several parts of the snake was this motto,
in large capitals, "join or die !" This device, which was
extended under the whole width of the title of the Spy,
appeared in every succeeding paper whilst it was printed

clothes, and coated from head to foot with tar and feathers ; the soldiers
sthen bound him in a chair to a truck, and before sunrise he was paraded
by a regiment through the streets. The regiment, with the colonel at its
head, halted before the Spy office, the music playing the Rogue's March ;
some of the soldiers vociferating " the printer of the Spy shall be the
next to receive this punishment." This riot took place on the 10th of
March, 1775. It occasioned great commotion among the citizens, and
produced 'a well written and spirited remonstrance from the town of Bil-
lerica to the governor, Gage.

1 "Do thou, great Liberty, inspire our souls,
And make our Lives in thy possession happy,
Or our Deaths glorious in thy just defense."
"This act of the British government hastened the revolution. It was
designed to punish Boston for destroying the tea sent over by the East
India company, &c. See the various histories of those times for an ac-
count of the pretexts which led the British ministry to lay the port of
Boston under an interdict, &c.

in Boston. Its publication ceased in that town on the 6th
of April, 1775, and on the 19th of that month hostilities be-
tween Great Britain and America commenced. A few days
before this event took place, its publisher sent, privately, a
press and types to Worcester ; and, on the 3d of the fol-
lowing May, the publication of the Spy was resumed, and
was the first printing done in that town. ' The title of the
paper, of course, was again altered ; it was now The Mas-
sachusetts Spy ; or, American Oracle of Liberty ; headed with
"Americans! Liberty or Death ! Join or Die!" The day
of publication at Worcester was Wednesday.

The Christian History was regularly published, in num-
bers of eight pages each, every Saturday, for two years ;
each year making a volume, to which was prefixed a title
page, and an index. The title page to the first volume
reads thus : " The Christian History, containing Accounts
of the Revival and propagation of Religion in Great
Britain and America. For the year 1743."

The editor gave the general contents as follows : " 1.
Authentic Accounts from Ministers, and other creditable
Persons, of the Revival of Religion in the several Parts of
New England. 2. Extracts of the most remarkable Pieces
in the Weekly Histories of religion, and other accounts,
printed both in England and Scotland. 3. Extracts of
written Letters, both from England, Scotland, New-York,
New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Georgia,
of a Religious Nature, as they have been sent hither from
creditable Persons and communicated to us. 4. Remark-
able Passages, Historical and Doctrinal, out of the most
famous old writers both of the Church of England and
Scotland from the Reformation, as also the first Settlers of
New-England and their Children ; that we may see how
far their pious Principles and Spirit are at this Day revived ;
and may guard against all Extreams."

The American Magazine and Historical Chronicle.

The first number of this Magazine, for September, 1743,1
was published on the 20th of the following October. It
was printed on a fine medium paper in 8vo. Each number
contained fifty pages; and was published, monthly, by
" Samuel Eliot, in Cornhill, and Joshua Blanehard in Dock-
Square," booksellers ; and printed by Rogers & Fowle, " in

been said, was also the editor of this magazine.

The following is an extract from the prospectus, viz : It
will contain " 1. A summary Rehearsal of the proceed-
ings and debates in the British Parliament. 2. A View of

This Magazine imitated The London Magazine in its ap-
pearance ; a large cut of the town of Boston, in the title
page, answered to a similar cut of the city of London in
the title page of the London Magazine. Its pages were
like those of that publication in size, two columus in a
page, divided by the capital letters, A B C D E and F, at
a distance from each other, and not by a line, or as printers
term it, by rules. The imprint, " Boston : Printed by

New Port. Price Three Shillings, New Tenor, a Quarter,"
equal to half a dollar. It was well printed, on a long pri-
mer type, and was not inferior to the London and other
magazines, then published in that city ; but the extensive
plan marked out in its prospectus could not be brought
within the number of pages allowed to the work. In the
general title page for the year, the before-mentioned view
of the town of Boston, was impressed from a copperplate
engraving; both the cut and the plate were as well exe-
cuted as things of the kind generally were for the English
magazines.

This work was issued three years and four months, and
then discontinued. It has no cuts or plates excepting those
for the title pages.

The New- England Magazine.

This work is without date, either in the title, in the im-
print, or in any of its numbers. No. 1 was published
August 31, 1758. The title page is as follows : The New-
England Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure. In the centre
of the page is a small cut, the device a hand holding a
bouquet, or bunch of flowers, with the motto, " Prodesse et
Delectare e pluribus unum." One-half of this motto is on
the left of the cut, and the other half on the right ; under-
neath the device is this couplet :

" Alluring Profit with Delight we blend,
One out of many to the Publick send.

"By various Authors.

" Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
Grapes of Thorns, or Figs of Thistles ? Every good Tree
bringeth forth good Fruit, but a corrupt Tree bringeth

forth evil Fruit. A good Tree cannot bring forth evil
Fruit, neither can a corrupt Tree bring forth good Fruit."

"Printed by Benjamin Mecom, and sold at his shop under
the New-Printing-Office, near the Court-House, on Corn-hill
in Boston."

Each number of this Magazine contained sixty pages
12mo. Its publication was intended to have been monthly,
but it came from the press irregularly, and was printed
from types of various sizes. Some pieces were, both in
prose and verse, on pica, and some on long primer ; the
pages were not in columns. Its contents were a collection
of small fugitive pieces from magazines, newspapers, &c.
These were not arranged under general heads, excepting
poetry, which was headed " Poetical Entertainment; "' and
we make one more exception for a head of " Queer Notions."
The price was eight pence for each number.

Mecom, the publisher of this Magazine, gave the follow-
ing poetical description of its contents in an advertise-
ment, viz :

" Containing, and to contain,
" Old fashioned writings and Select Essays,
Queer Notions, Useful Hints, Extracts from plays;
Relations Wonderful, and Psalm and Song,
Good Sense, Wit, Humour, Morals, all ding dong ;
Poems and Speeches, Politicks and News
What Some will like, and other Some refuse ;
Births, Deaths, and Dreams, and Apparitions too ;
With some Thing suited to each different Gefi,1
To Humour Him, and Her, and Me, and You."

This work found very few purchasers. Three or four
numbers were published in the course of six or seven
months, and it was then discontinued.

The Censor.

The Censor was altogether a political publication. The
first number appeared November 23, 1771. It was printed
in a small sheet, foolscap, folio, on an English type, by
Ezekiel Russell, in Boston, and published on Saturdays.

It made its appearance without any formal introduction.
A dissertation in the Massachusetts Spy, under the signa-
ture of Mucius Scaevola, probably occasioned the attempt
to establish this paper. Mucius Scaevola had attacked
Governor Hutchinson with a boldness and severity before
unknown in the political disputes of this country. The
piece excited great warmth among those who supported
the measures of the British administration, and they imme-
diately commenced the publication of the Censor ; in which
the governor and the British administration were defended.
Lieutenant Governor Oliver was the reputed author of
several numbers of the Censor, under the signature of A
Freeman, and these were thought to be better written
than any other communications to that paper. Several
other politicians were engaged as writers for the Censor,1
but they gained no proselytes to their cause ; and, although
numbers of the first characters on the side of government
came forward with literary and pecuniary aid, yet the cir-
culation of the paper was confined to a few of their own
party. As the Censor languished, its printer made an
effort to convert it into a newspaper ; and, with this view,

1 Dr. Benjamin Church, a reputed whig, who when the Revolutionary
war commenced was appointed surgeon general of the American army,
but was soon after arrested and confined, being detected in a traitorous
correspondence with the British army in Boston, I have been informed
by a very respectable person, whom I have long known, was a writer for
the Censor. This person, then an apprentice to Russell, was employed to
convey, in a secret manner, the doctor's manuscripts to the press, and proof
sheets from the press to the doctor.

72 History of Printing in America.

some of its last numbers were accompanied with a separate
half sheet, containing a few articles of news and some
advertisements. But neither its writers nor its printer
could give it a general circulation, and it was discontinued
before the revolution of a year from its first publication.

The Royal American Magazine.

A Prospectus of this work appeared many months before
the magazine ; but the disordered state of public affairs,
and the difficulties which individuals experienced from
them, prevented it from being sooner put to press ; and
after a few numbers had been published, the distress occa-
sioned to the inhabitants of Boston by shutting up and
blockading their port, obliged its editor to suspend the
publication.

The first number for January, 1774, was published at
the close of that month. It was printed on a large medium
paper in octavo, on a new handsome type. Each number
contained three sheets of letter press, and two copperplate
engravings. The title was, The Royal American Magazine,
or Universal Repository of Instruction and Amusement The
type metal cut in the title page, represented, by an abori-
ginal, America seated on the ground; at her feet lay a
quiver, and near her a bow on which her right hand rested;
in her left hand she held the calumet of peace, which she
appeared to t>ffer to the Genius of Knowledge standing
before her dispensing instruction. Imprint, " Boston :
Printed by and for Isaiah Thomas, near the Market." Then
follow the names of several printers on the continent who
sold the work.

The editor, after having been at considerable trouble and
expense in bringing the work before the public, published
it six months, and then was obliged, first to suspend, and

afterwards to relinquish it ; but Joseph Greenleaf continued
the publication until April following, when the war put
a period to the magazine.

This was the last periodical work established in Boston
before the revolution. It had a considerable list of sub-
scribers.

SALEM.

The Essex Gazette.

Containing the freshejl Advices, both Foreign and Domejlick.

This was the first newspaper printed in Salem. No. 1
was published August 2, 1768; and it was continued
weekly, on Tuesday, crown size, folio, from small pica and
brevier types. In the centre of the title was a cut, of
which the design was taken from the official seal of the
county. The principal figure a bird with its wings ex-
tended, and holding a sprig in its bill ; perhaps intended
to represent Noah's dove ; and this device was far from
being ill adapted to the state of our forefathers, who hav-
ing been inhabitants of Europe, an old world, were become
residents in America, to them a new one. Above the bird
a fish, which seems to have been intended as a crest,
emblematical of the codfishery, formerly the principal de-
pendence of the county of Essex, of which Salem is a shire
town. The whole supported by two aborigines, each hold-
ing a tomahawk, or battle axe. Imprint, " Salem : Printed
by Samuel Hall, near the Town-House, Price 6s. 8d. per
annum."

74 History of Printing in America.

It was afterwards " printed by Samuel and Ebenezer
Hall." The Gazette was well conducted, and ably sup-
ported the cause of the country.

In 1775, soon after the commencement of the war, the
printers of this paper removed with their press to Cam-
bridge, and there published the Gazette, or, as it was then
entitled, The New England Chronicle : Or, the Essex Gazette.
The junior partner died in 1775, and S. Hall became again
the sole proprietor. When the British army left Boston
Hall removed to the capital, and there printed The New
England Chronicle, the words Essex Gazette being omitted.
After publishing the paper a few years with this title, he
sold his right to it, and the new proprietor entitled it
The Independent Chronicle,1 and began the alteration with

Advertiser.

A Weekly, Political, Commercial Paper — Influenced neither by Court

or Country.

This paper, the second published in the town, made its
first appearance in June, 1774, printed on a crown sheet,

1 This being the only allusion by Mr. Thomas to that paper, a portion of
a letter from the late Mr. Nathaniel Willis referring to it, dated Boston,
March 20, 1861, is quoted : " When I was an apprentice in the office of the
Independent Chronicle, about 1796, 1 found in the garret enough of these
papers to make a volume, which I arranged, had them bound, and have
recently presented the volume to the Boston Public Library. From this
it appears in their notices to the public, that Samuel Hall transferred the
paper to Nathaniel Willis and Edward E. Powars, June 13, 1.776 ; ixi De-
cember, 1779, N. Willis appears as sole publisher until 1784 ; it was then
transferred to Adams & Nourse, afterwards Adams & Rhoades ; and then
my father went to Virginia. I was an apprentice in the Chronicle office
from 1796 to 1803. Samuel Hall was a bookseller in the same store where
Gould & Lincoln so long remained, in Washington street." The Chronicle
was united with the Boston patriot in 1819, when its title ceased. For a

folio, on an old long primer type, published weekly on
Friday. Imprint, " Salem : Printed by E. Russell, at his
New Printing-Office, in Ruck-street, near the State-House."1
This Gazette was of short continuance ; its circulation
was confined to a few customers in Salem and the neighbor-
ing towns, which were inadequate to its support.

The American Gazette : Or, The Constitutional

'Journal,

"Was first published June 18, 1776. It was published
on Tuesday, printed on a crown sheet, folio. Imprint,
" Salem : Printed by J. Rogers, at E. Russell's Print-
ing-Omce, Upper End of Main-Street," &c. Russell was
the conductor of this paper, Rogers being only his agent ;
it was published only a few weeks. In the head was a
large cut, a coarse copy of that which then appeared
in the title of the Pennsylvania Journal ; the device, a ship
and a book, or journal, &c, as has already been described.

It was several years after this newspaper was discon-
tinued before the printing of another commenced in Salem.
In January, 1781, Mary Crouch and company issued from
their press The Salem Gazette and General Advertiser. This
Gazette was printed only nine months, when Samuel Hall,
who first published The Essex Gazette, returned to Salem,
and, on the 18th of October, 1781, established The Salem
Gazette, afterwards printed by T. Cushing.2

2 In 1857, the editor of the Gazette stated that 49 other papers had
been started in Salem since the Gazette, of which 46 had broken up in
bankruptcy. Samuel Dodge died at Rowley, Mass., June 17, 1860, aged
82, who had taken and paid for the Salem Register sixty years. — M.

NEWBUEYPORT.

No attempt was made to establish a newspaper in that
place until the year 1773.

The Essex Journal, and Merimack Packet : Or,
the Massachusetts and New- Hampshire General
Advertiser,

"Was issued from the press, December 4, 1773, by Isaiah
Thomas, printed on a crown sheet, folio, equal in size to
most of the papers then published in Boston. At first its
day of publication was Saturday ; afterwards, Wednesday.
Two cuts were in the title ; one, the left, representing the
arms of the province, that on the right, a ship under sail.
Imprint, " Newbury-Port : Printed by Isaiah Thomas &
Henry Walter-Tinges, in King-Street, opposite to the Rev.
Mr. Parsons's Meeting-House," &c. Thomas was the pro-
prietor of the Journal ; he lived in Boston, and there pub-
lished the Massachusetts Spy. Tinges, as a partner in the
Journal, managed' the concerns of it. Before the full
expiration of a year Thomas sold his right in this paper to
Ezra Lunt, and, about two years after, Lunt sold to John
Mycall. Tinges was a partner to both ; but to the latter
only for about six months, when the partnership was dis-
solved, and Mycall became the proprietor and sole publisher
of The Essex Journal, the publication of which he con-
tinued many years.

i/WOIiCESTER.

The. Massachusetts Spy : Or, American Oracle of

Liberty.

The printer of the Massachusetts Spy, or Boston Journal,
was obliged to leave Boston, as has been mentioned, on
account of the commencement of hostilities between the
colonies and the parent country. He settled in this place,
and on the 3d of May, 1775, recommenced the publication
of that paper, which he continued until the British troops
evacuated Boston, when he leased it for one year to Wil-
liam Stearns and Daniel Bigelow. They adopted another
motto : "Undaunted by Tyrants, we will die, or be free."
After the first lease expired, the paper was leased for
another year to Anthony Haswell, printer. Owing to
unskillful workmen, bad ink, wretched paper, and worn
down types, the Spy appeared in • a miserable deshabille
during the two years for which it had been leased, and for
two years after. At the end of that term, the proprietor
returned to Worcester, and resumed its publication, with
a new motto : " Unanimity at Home, and Bravery and
Perseverance in the Field, will secure the Independence
of America."

Good materials of the kinds just mentioned could not
be immediately procured, and the Spy from necessity was
continued under numerous disadvantages until 1781, when
it was printed from a good type, on better paper, with new
devices and an engraved title. The device on the left was
a figure representing America, an Indian holding the cap
of Liberty on a staff with the left hand, and in the right a
spear, aimed at the British lion, which appeared in the act
of attacking her from an opposite shore. Round the device
was "liberty defended from tyranny." That on the

78 History of Printing in America.

right was a chain of thirteen links, with a star in each link,
representing the union of the thirteen states. This chain
was placed in a circular form, leaving an opening for the
arms of France, to which the ends of the chain were at-
tached, and which perfected the circle. Above the arms
were two hands clasped, and directly over them a sword,
with its hilt resting on the clasped hands; the motto,
" union." The title was thus new modelled, Thomas's Mas-
sachusetts Spy ; or the Worcester Gazette. Motto : " The noble
Efforts of a Virtuous, Free and United People, shall extir-
pate Tyranny, and establish Liberty and Peace."

At the conclusion of the war the Spy was enlarged, and
each page contained five columns. It was printed from
new types ; and the motto was changed to " Noscere res hu-
manas est Hominis. Knowledge of the world is necessary
for every man."

About that time, its editor began to publish, in the
paper, as room would permit, Robertson's History of Ame-
rica, and completed the whole in about one year.1 This
was followed by a history of the revolutionary war. Be-
sides these, the Spy contained valuable, useful, and enter-
taining extracts, on various subjects, from European and
American publications, as well as original essays.2

This paper was printed with continued improvements
until March, 1786, when the publication was, on the fol-
lowing account, suspended. The legislature of Massachu-
setts had in March, 1785, passed an "act, imposing duties
on licensed vellum, parchment and paper." This act laid

1 The English edition of Robertson's History, in three volumes, 8vo, then
sold for six dollars. The price of the Spy was only nine shillings per
annum.

2 The Worcester Speculator, inserted in the Spy, in numbers, weekly,
was furnished by a society of gentlemen in the county of Worcester. A
selection from these numbers, all the composition of the late Reverend
Doctor Fiske of Brookfield, together with some other pieces by that gen-
tleman, was afterwards printed in two duodecimo volumes, entitled The
Moral Monitor.

a duty of two-thirds of a penny on newspapers, and a penny
on almanacs, which were to be stamped. The British
stamp act of 1765, violently opposed in the colonies, ren-
dered this act so unpopular from its very name, that the
legislature was induced to repeal it before it went into
operation. But, in the July following, another act was
passed, which imposed a duty on all advertisements inserted
in the newspapers printed in this commonwealth. This
act was thought by the publisher of the Spy, and by many
others, to lay an improper restraint on the press. He
therefore discontinued the Spy during the period that this
act was in force, which was two years. But he published
as a substitute a periodical work, entitled The Worcester
Weekly Magazine, in octavo.

The restoration of the Spy took place in April, 1788,
and a motto was at that time introduced from the constitu-
tion of Massachusetts, viz. : " The Liberty of the Press is
essential to the security of freedom."

In 1801, Thomas resigned the printing and publishing
of the Spy to his son Isaiah Thomas, Jr. The Spy is the
oldest newspaper in Massachusetts.1

In 1785, a neat, small paper, was published semi-weekly
in Charlestown, Massachusetts, entitled The American Re-
corder and Charlestown Advertiser. It was printed about three
years by Allen & Cushing, and then discontinued. I men-
tion this, because it was the only newspaper issued from
a press in the county of Middlesex.

2 In 1843, there were 79 newspapers published in Massachusetts, and the
Spy, although it had met with some interruptions, was still recognized
as the oldest paper in the state. In 1845, it began to be published daily ;
and now, in 1872, is one of the most nourishing papers in the country.
There are now (1872), about 175 newspapers and other periodicals pub-
lished in Boston alone. — M.

in Connecticut before it was introduced into Rhode Island,
yet a newspaper was published in Rhode Island twenty
years earlier than in Connecticut.

NEWPORT.

This town was the fourth in New England where a press
was established, and the second from which a newspaper

This was the first paper issued in the colohy. No. 1 was
published September 27, 1732, printed on a small sheet of
pot size, from a pica type much worn. Its contents were
generally comprised on half a sheet. The day of publica-
tion was Wednesday. Imprint, " Newport, Rhode-Island :
Printed and Sold by James Franklin, at his Printing-
House under the Town-School-House, where Advertise-

were made to revive this paper by Franklin's widow, but
without success.1

The Newport Mercury,

First published about September, 1758,2 gained a perma-
nent establishment. It was printed on Mondays by James
Franklin, son of the printer of The Rhode Island Gazette,
generally on paper of crown size, folio, but usually con-
sisting of half a sheet only. When the publisher died, in
August,' 1762, the Mercury was continued by his mother,
Anne Franklin, until she went into partnership with
Samuel Hall, under the firm of Franklin & Hall, in Thames
street. Mrs. Franklin died in April, 1763. Hall then be-
came the proprietor of the Mercury, and published it until
1768.

Under the management of Hall, the Mercury made a
more respectable appearance than before. It was printed
handsomely and correctly; its columns were filled with
well selected intelligence from the papers printed in the
neighboring colonies, and due attention was paid to domes-
tic information. Advertising customers increased, and its
circulation became more extensive.

In 1768, Hall resigned the Mercury to Solomon South-
wick, who conducted it until several years subsequent to
the revolution. During the war, while the British troops
possessed Newport,, Southwick set up a press at Attle-
borough, Massachusetts, and there, published the Mercury.

1 The press used by the Franklins was preserved in the office of the
Mercury to a late period, and an effort was made to sell it for $100 by
the administrator of the Barbers ; but the claim that it was the press on
which Benjamin Franklin wrought, could not be verified, and it remained
unsold in a worm-eaten and disabled condition in 1858. — M.

He returned to Newport as soon as that town was evacu-
ated, and reestablished his press.1

This paper, when first published, had a large cut of the
figure of Mercury in its title. Sail exchanged it for a
small king's arms. Southwick enlarged the king's arms,
and added to the title : " Containing the freshest advices,"
&c. His printing house was " in Queen Street, near the
Middle of the Parade."

Southwick continued the Mercury on the respectable
ground on which it was placed by Hall ; and, during the
contest for the independence of our country, he conducted
it with firmness and patriotic zeal. Southwick's succes-
sors have continued the Mercury to this time (1810). It
is the fourth oldest paper now published in the United
States.2

1 It is stated {Hist. Mag., rv, 37), that the British plundered his office of
£200. Another report (Newport Mercury, Sept. 12, 1858), states that before
leaving the island, Southwick buried his press and types in the garden in
the rear of the old Kilburn House, in Broad street ; that a tory, having
knowledge of the fact, gave the enemy information, and they were dug up,
and used by the British during their stay, and that copies of a paper pub-
lished by them are preserved in the Redwod Library. — M.

a Henry Barber, who published the Mercury in 1780, learned printing
of Southwick. The family emigrated from England, and settled in West-
erly, R. I. He died Sept. 11, 1800, and was succeeded by his sons, Wil-
liam and John H.; they were finally succeeded by William Lee Barber,
the son of John H., who died Dec. 27, 1850, aged 25, and the paper, which
had been published by them almost uninterruptedly during seventy years,
passed out of the family. It is still continued, and is the oldest paper in
the country except the New Hampshire Gazette, which is two years its
senior. See vol. i, pp. 199-201.— M.

The following item is clipped from the Boston Daily Advertiser of Nov.
15, 1872 : " The Newport Mercury was sold to-day to John P. Sanborn, who
for two years past has been the editor of the Daily News of this city. F. A.
Pratt, the former owner of the Mercury, has been connected with it for
thirty years, and from its columns has reaped a profitable harvest with
which he will retire from the journalistic field. It is rumored that the day
is not far distant when the Mercury will be issued as a morning daily."— H.

PROVIDENCE.
the Providence Gazette, and Country Journal.

Containing tbefrejheji Advices^ both Foreign and Domes tick.

This was the only newspaper printed in Providence
before 1775. It was first published October 20, 1762, by
William Goddard, on a sheet of crown size, folio ; a cut
of the king's arms decorated the title. It was printed
every Saturday, from types of english and long primer.
Imprint, " Providence : Printed by William Goddard, at
the Printing-Office near the Great Bridge, where Subscrip-
tions, Advertisements and Letters of Intelligence, &c, are
received for this Paper ; and where all Manner of printing
Work is performed with care and Expedition."

The Gazette was discontinued from May 11, to August
24, 1765. On that day a paper was published, headed Vox
Populi, Vox Dei. A Providence Gazette Extraordinary,
Printed by S. and W. Goddard." After this it was, till
January, 1767, " Printed by Sarah Goddard and Co." It
then appeared with this imprint : " Printed (in the Absence
of William Goddard) by Sarah Goddard & Co." In a
short time after this, it was published by Sarah Goddard
and John Carter.

In 1769, William and Sarah Goddard resigned their
right in the Gazette to John Carter, who has published
it from that time to the present (1810).

This paper zealously defended the rights of the colonies
before the revolution, ably supported the cause of the
country during the war, and has weekly diffused federal
republican principles since the establishment of independ-
ence. The Gazette has, from time to time, been supplied

by various writers, with many well composed political,
moral and entertaining essays. Its weekly collection of
intelligence is judiciously selected, and it was correctly
and regularly printed more than forty years by its respect-
able publisher, John Carter.

CONNECTICUT.

Newspapers were not printed in this colony until 1755,
and till this period there had been but one printing house
established in Connecticut.

The war with the French at this time, in which the
British colonies were deeply interested, increased the de-
mand for public journals, and occasioned the publication
of one in Connecticut. Before the commencement of the
revolutionary war, four newspapers were published in this
colony.

NEW HAVEN.

The Connecticut Gazette.
Containing the freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestick.

This paper made its appearance January 1, 1755. It was
printed on a half sheet of foolscap, in quarto ; but occa-
sionally on a whole sheet of pot, folio, by James Parker &
Company ; and was published weekly, on Friday. John
Holt was the editor, and the junior partner of the firm ; he
conducted the Journal till 1760, when he removed to New
York, and Thomas Green was employed by the company
to conduct the Gazette.

By the establishment of postriders to the seat of the war
at the northward, and to several parts of the colony, the
Gazette had, for that time, a considerable circulation. The

publication was continued by Parker & Company till 1764,
when it was for a short time suspended, but afterwards re-
vived by Benjamin Mecom.

Mecom continued the Gazette, and added a cut to the
title — one which he had used in the title page of The New
England Magazine, published by him three or four months
in Boston. The device was a hand clasping a bunch of
flowers. He afterwards exchanged this for another, which
represented a globe placed on the head of a seraph, an eagle
with extended wings lighting with one claw on the globe,
holding in the other a book encircled by a glory ; from the
book was suspended a pair of dividers. Motto, " Honor
Virtute Paratur." Another motto, extending the whole
width of the page, was added after the title, viz : " Those
who would give up Essential Liberty, to purchase a little
Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" Im-
print,. " Printed by Benjamin Mecom, at the Post-Office in
New-Haven." There* ^vese two columns in a page of this
paper, which was printed from long primer and pica types.

Holt, and Mecom his successor, appear to have been
attentive in making selections for the Gazette, which was
sometimes supplied with original essays on various subjects.
It was discontinued in 1767.

The Connecticut Journal and New-Haven Post- Boy.

This paper was first published in October, 1767, soon
after the Gazette was discontinued. It was printed on a
pot sheet, folio, three columns in a page ; types, long primer
and pica. A cut of a postman on horseback, copied from
The Boston Post-Boy, but badly engraved, divided the title.

lege." Some years after, the title was Connecticut Journal

only, the cut omitted, and the size of the paper enlarged
to a crown sheet ; but it was occasionally varied.

The Journal gained an establishment, and maintained
its ground against several other papers which have from
time to time appeared in New Haven. It continued to be
published by Thomas and Samuel Green, until February,
1799 ; Samuel then died, and the Journal was continued
till January, 1809, by Thomas Green & Son.1 It has lately
(1810) been enlarged to a sheet of royal, and the title altered
to The Connecticut Journal and Advertiser. In Jauuary,
1809, it was printed by Thomas Green & Co.2 In July of
the same year, Thomas Green retiring from business, the
new firm was dissolved, and the Journal published, on
Thursdays, " by Eli Hudson,3 successor to T. Green & Co."

NEW LONDON.

The New- London Summary.

The Summary was the second newspaper established in
that colony, and was first published August 8, 1758, by the
second Timothy Green. It was printed on a small half
sheet, and occasionally on a whole sheet, weekly ; at first
on Tuesday, and afterwards on Friday. A small cut of the
colony arms was in the title. Green continued the Sum-

served his apprenticeship with his uncle Richard Draper, at Boston, and

hands, as he was in that year a journeyman in the office of the Connecticut

and three weeks after his demise it was discontinued.1

The New- London Gazette.

With the latest Advices, Foreign and Domestick.

This Gazette was substituted for the Summary, which it
immediately succeeded. It had a cut of the king's arms
in the title, and was first published November 1, 1763,2 by
Timothy Green, the third printer of this name in New
London. This paper was issued weekly, on Friday, on a
sheet of foolscap, folio, principally from a long primer type.

On the 17th of December, 1773, the title was altered to
The Connecticut Gazette. It was enlarged to a sheet of crown,
and afterwards to a sheet of larger size.

This paper outlived several which, since 1775, were pub-
lished in the same place ; it uniformly defended the rights
of the country before our revolution, and supported federal
republican principles after the adoption of the constitution.3

colony seal, surmounted by an escutcheon of the town, a ship under full
sail, by way of crest. No. 1 was issued Aug. 8, 1758 ; the editor died Aug.

the Gazette was printed on the 3d Nov. {Hist. New Lond., ed. 1860, p. 478).
The size was considerably increased, the print arranged in three columns,
and the price 3s. per annum. It changed owners often, the last Green
surrendering it in 1841, and in 1844 it was discontinued, after an existence
of more then 80 years. See Caulkins's Hist. New London, ed. 1860, p.

The Connecticut Courant.

This was the third newspaper established in the colony.
It was first published in December, 1764,1 by Thomas

1 A fac-simile of the first Courant was published, in 1864, which is dated
Monday, October 29, 1764. It appears to have been a prospectus number,
unknown to Mr. Thomas. It was issued as Number 00, and is dated
" Hartford : Printed by Thomas Green, at the Heart and Crown, near the
North Meeting House." The following is the editor's address :

" Hartford, October 29th, 1764."
" Of all the Arts which have been introduc'd amongst Mankind, for the
civilizing Human-Nature, and rendering Life agreeable and happy, none
appear of greater Advantage than that of Printing : for hereby the greatest
Genius's of all Ages, and Nations, live and speak for the Benefit of future
Generations. — Was it not for the Press, we should be left almost intirely
ignorant of all those noble Sentiments which the Autients were endow'd
with. By this Art, Men are brought acquainted with each other, though
never so remote, as to Age or Situation ; it lays open to View, the Man-
ners, Genius and Policy of all Nations and Countries and faithfully trans-
mits them to Posterity. — But not to insist upon the Usefulness of this
Art in general, which must be obvious to every One, whose Thoughts are
the least extensive. The Benefit of a Weekly Paper, must in particular
have its Advantages, as it is the Channel which conveys the History of
the present Times to every Part of the World. The Articles of News
from the different Papers (which we shall receive every Saturday, from
the neighboring Provinces) that shall appear to us, to be most authentic
and interesting shall always be carefully inserted ; and great Care will
be taken to collect from Time to Time all domestic Occurrences, that are
worthy the Notice of the Publick ; for which, we shall always be obliged

couragement we hope to deserve, by a constant Endeavour to render this
Paper, useful and entertaining, not only as a Channel for News, but assist-
ing to all Those who may have Occasion to make use of it as an

Green, on a sheet of pot size, and continued, weekly on
Tuesday, until 1767. Green then took as a partner Eben-
ezer Watson, and removed to New Haven. Watson
managed the Courant for two years, under the firm name
of Green & Watson, after which Watson became its pro-
prietor. The paper was for a number of years printed
with a much worn long primer type, occasionally inter-
mixed with columns and half columns of old pica. About
the year 1773, it was enlarged to a crown sheet ; a coarse
cut of the king's arms was inserted in the title, to which
was added, " Containing the freshest and most important
Advices, both Foreign and Domestic." The Courant was
afterwards printed on a new type, when it made a more
respectable appearance. The king's arms were discarded,
and the arms of Connecticut took their place in the title,
which was now altered to The Connecticut Courant and
Hartford Weekly Intelligencer : Containing, &c. Imprint :
"Printed and published by Ebenezer Watson, near the
Great-Bridge."

After the British troops gained possession of New York,
and the newspapers on the side of the country in that place
were discontinued, and the printers of them dispersed, the
Courant became of much consequence ; its circulation ra-
pidly increased ; and, for some time, the number of copies
printed weekly was equal to, if not greater, than that of
any other paper then printed on the continent.

Watson, the publisher, died in September, 1777, and the
Courant was continued by his widow and George Goodwin,
under the firm of Watson & Goodwin, until March, 1779.

Barzillai Hudson l married the widow of Watson, and
became the partner of Goodwin in March, 1779 ; and, from
that time to the present (1810), the Courant has been pub-

the latter of whom has the management of the press.2
From the commencement of the war, in 1775, many respect-
able writers occasionally furnished this paper with political
essays in favor of measures adopted by the country in the
time of the great contest ; and in defence of those since
pursued by the federal administration.

although no longer a partner in the concern, of walking to the printing

habit. He died May 14, 1844, aged 88. In 1842, an old gentleman called
at the office of the Courant, who stated that he was in his 86th year, and
that he had been a subscriber to the paper sixty-five years. — M.

tinued it with various alterations in the title, size, and ap-
pearance, until he died, in 1802. After his decease, it was
printed for his widow, Lucy Trumbull, but under a new title,
viz : The Connecticut Centinel. The Ceutinel in fact was a
new paper, established on the foundation of the Packet.

sheet crown. Imprint, " Portsmouth, in New Hampshire,

1 On the 6th of October, 1856, a centennial anniversary of the first news-
paper in New Hampshire was held at Portsmouth, for which occasion a fac-
simile of the first number of the Gazette was printed. It appears by that,
that the date was Thursday, October 7. It is possible that a prospectus
number was issued in August, as was the case with the Newport Mercury.
Although the anniversary of the establishment of the Gazette was cele-
brated with great spirit and eclat in 1856, the paper was discontinued in
1861, for about two years, when it was revived and published with eminent
success. Abner Greenleaf, who had printed and edited the Gazette, died
Sept. 28, 1868, aged 83. An almanac was also printed at this office in 1756
for the ensuing year. — M.

94 History of Printing in America.

Printed by Daniel Fowle, where this Paper may be bad at
one Dollar per Annum ; or Equivalent in Bills of Credit,
computing a Dollar this year at Four Pounds Old Tenor."
Fowle had several type metal cuts, which had been en-
graved and used for an abridgment of CroxalFs Esop ; and
as he thought that there should be something ornamental
in the title of the Gazette, and not finding an artist/ to en-
grave any thing appropriate, he introduced one of these
cuts, designed for the fable of the crow and the fox. This
cut was, in a short time, broken by some accident, and he
supplied its place by one engraved for the fable of Jupiter
and the peacock. This was used until worn down, when
another cut from the fables was substituted. Eventually,
the royal arms, badly engraved, appeared ; and at the same
time, " Historical Chronicle " was added to the title ; a cut
of the king's arms well executed, afterwards took the place
of the other.

In September, 1764, Robert Fowle became the partner
of Daniel in the publication of the Gazette, and in 1774
they separated. In 1775, there was a little irregularity in
the publication of the paper, occasioned by the war ; but
D. Fowle in a short time 'continued it as usual. The Ga-
zette was not remarkable in its political features ; but its
general complexion was favorable to the cause of the
country.

In May, 1776, Benjamin Dearborne, to whom Fowle
taught printing, became the publisher of this paper, and
altered its title to, The Freeman's Journal, or New-Hamp-
shire Gazette. Dearborne continued the paper a few years,
after which it was again published by Fowle, who made
several alterations in the title. In 1785, Fowle relin-
quished it to Melchor & Osborne, who published it for a
number of years ; and it is, at the present time (1810), is-
sued from the press of their successors with its original
title. The New-Hampshire Gazette is the oldest news-

paper printed inNew England ; and only two of those which
preceded it are now published in the United States.1

The Portsmouth Mercury and Weekly Advertiser.

Containing the freiheft and moft important Advices, both Foreign and Domeftick.

This was the second newspaper published in New Hamp-
shire. Its first appearance was on the 21st of January,
1765. It was introduced with an address to the public,
which states that,

" The Publisher proposes to print Nothing that may
have the least Tendency to subvert good Order in publick
or private Societies, and to steer clear of litigious, ill natured
and trifling Disputes in Individuals ; yet, neither opposi-
tion, arbitrary Power, or publick Injuries may be expected
to be screen'd from the Knowledge of the People, whose
Liberties are dearer to them than their lives."

The Mercury was published weekly, on Monday, on a
crown sheet, folio, from a new large faced small pica from
CottrelPs foundry in London.2 Imprint, " Portsmouth, in
New-Hampshire, Printed by Thomas Furber at the New
Printing-Office near the Parade, wiiere this Paper may be
had for one Dollar or Six Pounds 0. T. per year ; One Half
to be paid at Entrance."

The Mercury a few weeks after its first appearance was
very irregular as to its size. It was most commonly com-
prised in a sheet of pot or foolscap, printed broadsides, but
occasionally on half a sheet of medium or demy, according
as paper could be purchased at the stores the moment it
was wanted. The typography of the Mercury, the new

type excepted, did not exceed that of the Gazette. The
collection of intelligence was inferior; and this paper was
not more supported by any number of respectable writers
than the Gazette. Before the first year of the publication of
the Mercury ended, Furber took as a partner Ezekiel Rus-
sell, and his name appeared after Furber's in the imprint.

They who in the greatest degree encouraged the Mer-
cury, very warmly opposed the stamp act, laid on the colo-
nies at this time by the British parliament; indeed, the
spirit of the country rose in opposition to this act ; and,
although some publishers of newspapers made a faint stand,
yet few among those more immediately attached to the
British administration, were hardy enough to afford the
measure even a feeble support. The New Hampshire Ga-
zette, which some thought would not appear in opposition
to the stamp act, came forward against it; and, on the day
preceding that on which it was designed the act should take
place, appeared in full mourning, contained some very
spirited observations against this measure of government,
and continued to be published as usual without stamps.

The Mercury did not gain that circulation which it might
have obtained had its editors taken a more decided part,
and either defended government with energy, or made the
paper generally interesting to the public by a zealous support
of the rights and liberties of the colonies. In consequence
of the neglect of the publishers to render the Mercury
worthy of public attention, the customers withdrew, and
the paper, after having been published about three years,
was discontinued. From this time to the commencement
of the war, the Gazette was the only newspaper published
in the province of New Hampshire.

EXETER.

The third newspaper which appeared in New Hamp-
shire, was issued from the press in Exeter, near the close
of the year 1775, and published, irregularly, by Robert
Fowle, under various titles, in 1776 and part of 1777, until
discontinued. It was printed on a large type, small paper,
and often on half a sheet. It was first entitled, A New-
Hampshire Gazette, afterwards The New Hampshire Gazette ;
The New Hampshire Gazette, or Exeter Morning Chronicle;
The New Hampshire [State] Gazette, or, Exeter Circulating
Morning Chronicle ; The State Journal, or The New Hamp-
shire Gazette and Tuesday's Liberty Advertiser. These and
other alterations, with changes of the day of publication,
took place within one year. It was published, generally,
without an imprint. In the last alteration of the title, a
large cut, coarsely engraved, was introduced ; it was a copy
of that which had for several years been used in The Penn-
sylvania Journal,1 and the same which Rogers, some time
before, had introduced into the Salem Gazette and Advertiser.

Several other newspapers since 1777, have had a begin-
ning and ending in Exeter.

NEW YORK.

"When treating of the introduction of printing into New
York, I should have mentioned, that in 1668, Governor
Lovelace was desirous of having a press established in that
province ; and it appears by a record made at the time, that
he sent to Boston to procure a printer, but did not succeed
in his application. In 1686, among other articles of instruc-
tion sent by King James to Governor Dongan, one was,
that he should " allow no printing press in the province."
And, consequently, the pamphlets which appeared in the
famous dispute respecting the unfortunate colonel Leisler,
in 1689 and 1690, are supposed to have been printed in
Boston. See Appendix H.

three years it was in a state of warfare with the adminis-
tration of Governor Crosby, and his successor Lieutenant-

1 Zenger, by some mistake, dated his first paper October 5, 1733, instead
of November 5. In the account of his trial, he mentions that he began
the Journal Nov. 5, 1733, and so it appears from the numbers. No. 2 is
dated November 12, 1733. — Munday, was so spelled by Zenger, and others
at that time.

Governor Clarke. It was supposed to be published under
the patronage of the Honorable Rip Van Dam, who had
been president of the council, and opposed the governor
and his successor. The New York Gazette, printed by
Bradford, was then under the control of the governor.

Newspapers were not at that time burthened with adver-
tisements. I have seen several numbers printed after the
paper had been established seven or eight years, with only
one or two advertisements. It was well printed. Zenger
appears to have understood his business, and to have been
a scholar, but he was not correct in the English language,
especially in orthography.

On Sunday, the 17th of November, 1734, Zenger was
arrested and imprisoned by virtue of a warrant from the
governor and council, " for printing and publishing several
seditious libels," in the New York Weekly Journal, viz : in
Numbers 7, 47, 48 and 49. The governor and council by
message requested the concurrence of the house of repre-
sentatives in prosecuting Zenger, and a committee of con-
ference on the subject was chosen by the house and by the
council. The house finally ordered the request of the
governor and council to He on the table, and would not
concur. The governor and council then ordered the mayor
and magistrates, at their quarter session in November, 1734,
to attend to the " burning by the common hangman, or
whipper, near the pillory, the libellous papers." The
mayor's court would not attend to the order ; the papers
were therefore burnt by the order of the governor, not by
the hangman or whipper, who were .officers of the corpo-
ration, but by the sheriff's servant. At the next term of
the supreme court, the grand jury found the presentment
against Zenger ignoramus. The attorney general was then
directed to file an information against him for printing the
said libels, and he remained in prison until another term.
His counsel offered exceptions to the commissions of the

judges, and prayed to have them filed. The judges would
not allow, or even hear the exceptions, and they excluded
Zenger's counsel, Mr. Alexander and Mr. Smith, from
the bar. Zenger obtained other counsel, viz : Mr. John
Chambers, of New York, and Andrew Hamilton, Esq., of
Philadelphia. Mr. Hamilton made the journey from Phila-
delphia to New York for the sole purpose of defending
Zenger. Zenger being put to trial pleaded not guilty. The
printing and publishing the papers were acknowledged by
Zenger's counsel, who offered to give the truth in evidence.
This the court would not admit. Mr. Hamilton argued
the cause in a most able manner, before the court and a
numerous and respectable assemblage of people. The
judges observed, that the jury might find that Zenger
printed and published the papers in question, and leave it
to the court to determine whether they were libellous.
Mr. Hamilton remarked, that they might do so, but they
had a right, beyond all dispute, to judge of the law as well
as the fact, &c. The jury having retired a short time,
returned with a verdict, not guilty, to the great mortification
of the court, and of all Zenger's prosecutors ; but which
was received by the audience with loud bursts of applause,
concluding with three cheers. The next day Zenger was
released from prison, after having been confined eight
months.

At the common council of the city of New York, holden
on the 29th of September following, the mayor, aldermen
and assistants, presented Mr. Hamilton with the freedom
of the city, and the thanks of the corporation expressed in
the following manner.

" City of New York, ss.: Paul Richards, Esq., Mayor,
the Recorder, Aldermen, and Assistants of the City of
New York, convened in Common Council, to all to whom
these Presents shall come, Greeting. Whereas, Honour

a publick Acknowledgment. We therefore, under a grate-
ful Sense of the remarkable Service done to the Inhabitants
of this City and Colony, by Andrew Hamilton, Esq; of
Pennsylvania, Barrister at Law, by his learned and gener-
ous Defence of the Rights of Mankind and the Liberty of
the Press, in the Case of John-Peter Zenger, lately tried on
an Information exhibited in the Supreme Court of this
Colony, do by these Presents, bear to the said Andrew Ha-
milton, Esq ; the publick Thanks of the Freemen of this
Corporation for that signal Service, which he cheerfully
undertook under great Indisposition of Body, and gener-
ously performed, refusing any Fee or Reward ; and in
Testimony of our great Esteem for his Person, and Sense
of his Merit, do hereby present him with the Freedom of
this Corporation. These are, therefore, to certify and de-
clare, that the said Andrew Hamilton, Esq ; is hereby ad-
mitted and received and allowed a Freeman and Citizen of
said City; To Have, Hold, Enjoy and Partake of all the
Benefits, Liberties, Privileges, Freedoms and Immunities
whatsoever granted or belonging to a Freeman and Citizen
of the same City. In Testimony whereof the Common
Council of the said City, in Common Council assembled,
have Caused the Seal of the said City to be hereunto affixed
this Twenty-Ninth Day of September, Anno Domini One
Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Five.
" By order of the Common Council,

" William Shaipas, Clerk."

The foregoing grant of the freedom of the city was, by
order of the corporation, sent to Mr. Hamilton by Stephen
Bayard, one of the aldermen, in a gold box weighing five
and a half ounces, made for the occasion. On the lid of
the box was engraved the arms of the city, with this motto :
"DEMERS^E LEGES TIMEFACTA LIBERTAS

the lid: "NON NUMMIS — YTRTUTE PARATUR."
On the front of the rim of the box, a part of Tully's wish :

Zenger published the Journal on Mondays, till he died
in the summer of 1746. It was continued by his widow,
Catharine Zenger, till December, 1748, when she resigned
the publication to her son John Zenger. Her imprint
was, " New York : Printed by the Widow Cathrine Zenger,
at the Printing-Office in Stone-Street ; Where Advertise-
ments are taken in, and all Persons may be supplied with
this paper." She spelled her name Cathrine in all her im-
prints and advertisements.

John Zenger, in January, 1748-9, new modelled the
title of the Journal, and added a cut, coarsely executed, of
a section of the royal arms, containing three lions gardant,
encircled with the usual motto, " Honi soit qve mat ypense ;"
surmounted by a crown. The imprint, "New York:
Printed by John Zenger, in Stone-street, near Fort George ;
Where Advertisements are taken in at a moderate rate."
John Zenger published this paper until about 1752, when
it was discontinued, but in 1766, the title was revived by
John Holt.

In The New York Journal of February 25, 1751, is the
following advertisement : " My country subscribers are
earnestly desired to pay their arrearages for this Journal,
which, if they don't speedily, I shall leave off sending, and
seek my money another way. Some of these kind custo-
mers are in arrears upwards of seven years ! Now as I
have served them so long, I think it is time, ay and high
time too, that they give me my outset ; for they may verily
believe that my every-day cloathes are almost worn out.

vertisement, and considered it, you cannot but say, Come

Batchelors take it to themselves) let us send the poor

Cheese, Poultry, &c. In the mean time I am Yours, &c.

The New Tork Gazette, or, Weekly Post-Boy,

Was established by James Parker, in January, 1742-3,
about the time that Bradford discontinued his Gazette, and
he probably retained the subscribers for that paper.

I have a few numbers of this Gazette published several
months after its establishment, the title of which reads thus,
" The New York Gazette Revived in the Weekly Post-Boy .
Containing the freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestick."
It was printed on Thursdays, on a foolscap sheet, folio.
Imprint, " New York : Printed by James Parker, at the
New Printing-Office in Beaver-Street, where Advertise-
ments are taken in, and all Persons may be supplied with
this Paper."

Two letters appeared in the Gazette of February, 1748,
reflecting upon some respectable quakers in Philadelphia.
These letters were not genuine, and gave offence to some
of Parker's readers. He, therefore, the 29th of that month,
thus addressed the public,

" Poor Printers are often under a very unhappy dilemma,
of either displeasing one Part -of their Benefactors, or giv-
ing Offence to others ; and sometimes get the Ill-will of
both sides ; It has indeed been much against my Will to
print any Thing, that savour'd of Forgery, Invective, or
Partyism ; but being too dependent, can't always avoid it :
The Press is looked on as the grand Bulwark of Liberty

Light, Truth and Religion ; and if at any Time the Innocent
is attack'd unjustly, the Gospel pronounces such Blessed;
and common Sense tells us their Innocence will shine the more
conspicuously thereby : But on the other Hand, it often is
noted that Persons are too apt to be touch'd at having any
of their Faults exposed. However, if I have openly injur'd
any, I am willing as openly to vindicate them, or to give
them all the Satisfaction that Reason requires without
being sway'd with either their high Words or low Promises :

' But let the stricken Deer go weep, the Hart
Ungall'd go play. Shakespear' "

In 1753, William Weyman became the partner of Parker,
aud the principal manager of the paper. It was enlarged
to a crown sheet, and bore this title, TJie New York Gazette ;
or, The Weekly Post-Boy. A cut of the colony arms di-
vided the title.

A stamp act was passed by the legislature of New York,
December 1, 1756, which was continued until January,
1760, but during that period this paper was sometimes
published with a stamp, and sometimes without; and it
often appeared without an imprint.

Parker & Weyman having published in the Post-Boy
some " Observations on the Circumstances and Conduct of
the People in the Counties of Ulster and Orange in the
Province of New York," which gave oifence to the assem-
bly, they were taken into custody by the sergeant at arms ;
Weyman on the 18th, and Parker on his return from
Woodbridge to the city, on the 23d of March, 1756. They
were discharged on the 30th of the same month, after ac-
knowledging their fault, begging pardon of the house, giv-
ing up the name of the writer, and paying fees. The
writer was the Reverend Hezekiah Watkins, missionary
from the society for propagating the gospel in foreign

106 History of Printing in America.

parts. He lived at Newburg, in Orange county, and, by
order of the house, at their next session, he was taken into
custody by the sergeant at arms, brought to New York,
and voted " guilty of a high misdemeanor, and contempt
of the authority of the house." In a petition presented to
the house he asked pardon, and promised to be more cir-
cumspect in future. He was, in consequence, brought to
the bar, and there received a severe reprimand from the
speaker; and, after paying the fees, was discharged.1

This paper was ably conducted. It often contained ori-
ginal, well written essays, moral and political ; and the
circulation of it was for many years very extensive.

The partnership between Parker and Weyman expired
in February, 1759, at which time Weyman began another
paper. Parker, having assigned his paper to his nephew
Samuel Parker, resided principally in New Jersey after his
connection with "Weyman ceased. The nephew printed
the Post-Boy until July, 1760, when his uncle returned to
New York, and resumed the publication. The imprint,
" Printed by James Parker and Co." John Holt was the
partner ; but his name was not mentioned in the firm.
This partnership ended in April, 1762, and Holt then
printed the Post-Boy, on his own account, till October,
1766, when he relinquished it to Parker, who again re-
sumed its publication on the 27th of November, 1766, and
continued it, with some intermissions, on a demy sheet
well printed, until near the time of his death in 1770.
See Appendix I.

The Gazette and Post-Boy, like many other American
newspapers published at that time, appeared in mourning
on the 31st of October, 1765, on account of the stamp act ;
it was, however, carried on as usual, without any suspen-
sion, and without stamps. The Gazette dated November

publisher Holt, which he informed the public, was thrown
into his printing house, and a copy of it set up at the coffee-
house. The contents of the letter were as follows,

" On the Turf, the 2d of November, 1765."

To the title of the Gazette of November 7, 1765, was
added in a large type this motto : " The United Voice
of all His Majesty's free and loyal Subjects in America —
Liberty, Property, and no Stamps."

On August 27, 1770, Samuel Inslee and Anthony Carr
published this paper, and continued it two years. The
publication was then suspended for several months ; but in
August, 1773, it was renewed by Samuel F. Parker and
John Anderson. They printed the Post-Boy but a short
time, when it was discontinued ; having completed a period
of thirty years from its first appearance before the public.

108 History of Printing in America.

The New York Evening Post.

This was the fourth newspaper established in that city,
and it was printed by Henry De Foreest. It appeared be-
fore the year 1746, and was continued until 1747. Thus
far I speak with certainty ; but how long before 1746, and
how long after 1747, it was published, I have not been
able to ascertain. It was printed weekly, on Monday.

If we may judge of the editorial abilities, and the correct-
ness of the printer, by the following extract from the
Evening Post of October 13, 1746, we shall not be led to
rank him with the editor of the present New York Even-
ing Post,1 who is one of the most able and celebrated con-
ductors of a public journal in the United States.

" Last Friday arrived here Capt. Griffin from Boston,
who informs, that as soon as they heard of the French
Fleet, the Bostoneers was in the greatest hurrey imagin-
able to Fortifie the Place, which they have done in a very
strong manner ; that there wat 30,000 fighting men, wereof
was 700 Horse ; they are very well provided with all man-
ner of war like stores, and ready if Monsieaur should pay
them a Visit, to give him a very warm Reception." 2

Fleet, who republished the above paragraph in the Bos-
ton Evening Post of October 20, 1746, thus commented
upon it. " Here's Veracity, Orthography and Grammar, all
in the Compass of a few Lines ; and Brother Type may
well expect the Thanks of some Gentlemen, for the great
Honour he has done them in his inimitable Piece."

After this paper was discontinued, there were only two
published in that city until 1759, viz : Parker's Gazette,
and Gaine's Mercury.

The New Tork Mercury.

Containing the freshest Advices Foreign and Domesticlc.

The Mercury was first introduced to the public on the
3d of August, 1752. 1 It was published weekly, on Mon-
day, on a crown sheet, folio ; a cut of the king's arms was
early introduced into and divided the title ; this cut, in the
year 1763, was exchanged for a figure of Mercury; some
years after, the arms of the province took the place of
Mercury, when the title was altered to The New York
Gazette and the Weekly Mercury ; and, in 1777, the king's
arms again appeared in the title. The usual imprint
for many years was, " Printed by Hugh Gaine, Printer,
Bookseller and Stationer, at the Bible and Crown, in Han-
over-Square."

For a few years, the collection of intelligence in this paper
was not inferior to that of any paper published in the city.
Its circulation became extensive, and it gained many ad-
vertising customers.2

On the 12th of May, 1753, Gaine published in the Mer-
cury a part of the proceedings of the assembly of New
York, and the king's instructions to governor Osborne, I
believe without permission, and not correctly ; for which
he was called to the bar of the house on the "Wednesday

'If the numbers of Game's paper in 1763 and 1764 are correct, the
Mercury must have been first published in October, 1752 ; but the above
date is from a reeord, and I believe is as it should be.

2 In August, 1769, Gaine, in transmitting his statement of account with
Sir William Johnson, for books, and printing the Common Prayer Book
in the Mohawk language, writes that he has not included the amount for
the newspaper, for the reason that he does not remember how much
is due, but he thinks it is not less than ten years; showing that the
memory of man was not commensurate with the length of credit given by
the old printers ! — M.

110 History of Printing in America.

following. On asking pardon, he was merely reprimanded
by the speaker, and dismissed.

In 1775, a series of well written essays, under the title
of The Watch Tower, were published in this paper.

During the political contest with Great Britain, the Mer-
cury appeared rather as a neutral paper. Gaine seemed
desirous to side with the successful party ; but not know-
ing which would eventually prevail, he seems to have been
unstable in his politics. After the war commenced, he
leaned toward the country. "When the British army ap-
proached New York in 1776, Gaine removed to Newark,
in New Jersey, and there, during a few weeks, published
the Mercury. Soon after the British gained possession of
the city of New York, he returned, and printed under the
protection of the king's army ; and, like Rivington, devoted
his paper to the royal cause.

During the war both Gaine and Rivington were taken
notice of by a poet to whom the muses were auspicious.1
Several poetical essays, of which Gaine and Rivington were
the heroes, appeared in the newspapers, and afforded no
small degree of amusement to those who were acquainted
with these noted typographers ; particularly a versification
of Gaine's petition to the republican government of the
state, at the close of the war. See Appendix J.

Gaine published the Mercury until peace was established,
and it was then discontinued, after an existence of about
thirty-one years.

The New York Gazette.

Containing the freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestick.

This paper made its first appearance February 17, 1759.
It was printed on a crown sheet, folio, every Monday, with
the king's arms in the title ; and the typography was not in-
ferior to that of the other newspapers published in the city.

Weyman, who had been many years the partner of
Parker, and manager of the Gazette and Post-Boy, was
encouraged and handsomely supported by subscribers ; and
for some time he had a share of advertising customers.
After publishing this paper several years, his subscribers
dropped off, his advertising customers decreased, and the
publication of the Gazette was several times suspended.

Weyman, who was printer to the colony, in November,
1766, published in his Gazette, the address of the house of
representatives to his excellency the governor, in answer
to his speech at the opening of the session of the general
assembly ; in doing which, he neglected, contrary to the
rules of his profession, to read by copy, and to revise his
proof sheet; in consequence of this neglect two gross
errors escaped from his press. One was, the insertion of
the word never instead of ever ; the other was the omission
of the word no. The sentence in which the word was
omitted, should have read thus — " Your excellency has
done us no more than strict justice in supposing that we
will cheerfully cooperate with you." Two days after the
publication of this address in the Gazette, the printer was
ordered to attend the house, and he attended accordingly.
Being asked by the speaker, " "Whether he printed The
New York Gazette," which was shown to him ; and answer-
ing in the affirmative, he was asked, " Why he had in his

112 History of Printing in America.

said Gazette, reprinted the address to his excellency Sir
Henry Moore, in a manner injurious to the honor and
dignity of the house ?" He replied, that " he was very
innocent of the alteration made in the said address, till a
number of the Gazettes had been distributed ; that upon
discovering the mistakes he immediately corrected the
press, and endeavored to get back all the erroneous copies ;
that he had charged one of his journeymen with making
the alterations, but could not prove the fact upon him ; and
that as the same had not been printed with any design by
him, he hoped the house would pardon his inadvertency."
Weyman was directed to withdraw ; and, the house pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the excuse he had offered ;
after which he was ordered to attend the house, with his
journeyman, "William Finn, the next morning at ten o'clock.
Weyman and his journeyman attended according to order,
and being placed at the bar of the house, Weyman was
further examined ; the house then resolved, that the errors
made in reprinting the address, " appeared to be done
through the carelessness and inadvertency of the said
Weyman, without any design in him of reflecting on the
house." Weyman thereupon made an acknowledgment
of his fault, asked pardon of the house, and promising to
behave more circumspectly for the future, was discharged
from further attendance." l

Weyman made several severe attacks on Parker, his late
partner, who was comptroller of the post office, and indi-

1 Extract from the journals of the general assembly of New York, 1766.

Weyman, in his next New York Gazette, apologized to the public for
the errors he had committed when "reprinting" the address ; and in his
apology inserted the story of the blunder made in an edition of The Book
of Common Prayer, as follows.

" A printer in England, who printed The Book of Common Prayer,
unluckily omitted the letter c in the word changed in the following sen-
tence— "We shall all be changed in the twinkling of an eye." A
clergyman, not so attentive to his duty as he should have been, read it to
his congregation as it was printed, thus — "We shall all be hanged in the

rectly accused him of giving orders to postriders not to
circulate The New York Gazette; but it does not appear
that the comptroller of the post office did anything more, at
that time, than to require the publishers of newspapers
to furnish saddlebags for postriders, in which newspapers
might be carried separate from the mail, the contents of
which, it was said, often received injury from the damp-
ness of newspapers. By several of Weyman's remarks, it
is evident he was not on good terms with Parker after they
separated ; and Weyman, in some of his addresses to the
public, mentioned that he had " to struggle hard against
many inconveniences, joined to his incumbrance occasioned
by the short circulation of cash, and the arrearages of his cus-
tomers." We do not often exhibit liberality toward those
of the same profession with ourselves, who, as we imagine,
enjoy a degree of prosperity superior to that which falls to

twinkling of an eye." " Hence," said Weyma'n, " must appear what
a most significant alteration is made in the sense when only a single letter
is either added or omitted in a word in printing or reading ; and evinces
the great necessity of the utmost care being taken in both."

Sentences of authors have often been rendered ludicrous by the errors
of the press. Even the Bible has not escaped. In an edition of Brack-
enridge's Law Miscellanies, " the younger practioner of the bar," was ren-
dered " the young cur practioner."

In Scotland, that land proverbial for its correct Biblical typography,
In the pocket Bible, printed there about 1760, this sentence in Jude, " Suf-
fering the vengeance of eternal fire" was rendered, " Suffering the ven-
geance of eternal life." In a quarto Bible printed in Scotland, thousands
of copies of which were sold in America, in the prohibition for marriages
was the following, "A man may not marry his wife's mother's brother."
In a Bible printed in England, the negative not was omitted in the
seventh commandment. Numerous errors of the like kind with these
have been discovered in various editions of the Bible. In an 8vo edition
printed for me, in 1802, in the third of Job, instead of " sighing cometh
before I eat," it was printed " fishing before I eat." In the small Bible
printed by Aitkin in Philadelphia, during the revolutionary war ; in 2d
Kings, 7, 12, " I will now shew you what the Syrians," etc., it was printed
" I will not shew," etc.

our lot, or consider whether the cause of our inferiority
may not be negligence or misfortune. Parker, by a long
course of business, and good management of his affairs,
possessed a very handsome property. Weyman, from vari-
ous causes, was not so fortunate, and therefore, probably,
did not feel that cordiality toward his former partner, he
otherwise might. However this may have been, Weyman
actually brought the following charge against one of the
postmasters general, and the comptroller of the post-office,
both of whom were publishers of newspapers, viz : of
" endeavoring to stop the circulation, by post, of any news-
papers but their own, under a base conclusion, that every
government ought to take its own newspapers."

Weyman's valedictory gives us an idea of his circum-
stances, his feelings, and his editorial abilities. It is as
follows.

tion to Stop this Gazette, from a base we may say villainous

This Gazette terminated December 28, 1767, after it bad
been published about nine years. The publisher died in
July following.

Note. — "Weyman began in 1764 to print the Book of Common Prayer,
by order of Sir Wm. Johnson. The work met with so many hindrances,
that in 1768, when Weyman died, only 74 pages had been completed.

years. I cannot be certain that I am altogether correct as
to the title. I once owned a file of this paper, but lost it
many years since. It was handsomely printed, on a crown
sheet, folio. The title was in German text, Well engraved
on a block. Samuel Farley, the printer and publisher of
it, was an Englishman.1 Before the Chronicle had fully
gained an establishment, the house in Which it was printed

in 1761, and was discontinued, iu consequence of the fire,

in circulation, or how long after, I am unable to say. I can-
not discover any one who is able to give me information
respecting it. It was published but a short time.

116 History of Printing in America.

The New York "Journal, or General Advertifer.

Containing the frefheft Advices, Foreign and Domeftick.

Holt, the editor of this Journal, began the publication
of it May 29, 1766, with new types, &c, but issued only
" Numb. 1," when it was suspended, and he resumed print-
ing Parker's New York Gazette, which he had relinquished
the preceding week.1 He continued to publish the Gazette
till the 9th of October following, when he again resigned
the Gazette to the proprietor, and on the 16th of that
month recommenced publishing the Journal, which he did
not again lay aside ; he, however, began this second pub-
lication of the Journal with " Numb. 1241," following that
of Parker's Gazette. Of course Parker's Gazette and
Holt's Journal had the same number weekly at the head
of their respective papers, and both were published on
Thursday. The imprint to the Journal was, " New York :
Printed and Published by John Holt, near the Exchange,
(For six years last past, publisher of the New York Thurs-
day's Gazette and Weekly Post-Boy.") At first the title
was without a cut, but in a short time it appeared with the
king's arms ; which, until 1775, decorated the titles of many
of the newspapers on the continent of North America, as
well as those of the West India islands.

In 1774, Holt discarded the cut of the king's arms from
the title of the Journal, and in its place introduced that of
a snake divided into parts, with the motto " Unite or die."
In January, 1775, the snake was united, and coiled with the
tail in its mouth, forming a double ring ; within the coil
was a pillar standing on Magna Charta, and surmounted
with the cap of* liberty ; the pillar on each side was sup-

ported by six arms and hands, figurative of the colonies.1
On the body of the snake, beginning at the head, were the
following lines,

" United now, alive and free,
Firm on this basis Liberty shall stand,
And, thus supported, ever bless our land
Till Time becomes Eternity."

Holt had published Parker's Gazette, first in company
with Parker, and afterwards on his own account, from
1760 to 1766. As I have before observed, he began the
second publication of the Journal with No. 1241, following
in order the number of the Gazette which he published the
preceding week. For this he assigned as a reason, that he
should be able the more readily to settle with his customers.
He seemed to consider the subscribers to Parker's Gazette
as his customers, and the Journal as a continuation of the
Gazette, which he had lately published. He mentioned
his " having occasion to alter the title of his paper," mean-
ing Parker's Gazette ; " and, that he had altered it, first
for the sake of distinction, as he was informed Parker in-
tended publishing a paper under the former title ; and,
secondly, because, as Parker formerly published a paper
under that title, he, Holt, would not avail himself of any

1 On this occasion the following lines appeared in Rivington's Gazette.
One of the allusions will be better understood by reference to the original
cut ; it cannot be explained here (see Sargent's Loyalist Poetry, 147). — M.

By changing your Head-piece again and again :

But then to your praise it may justly he said,

You have giv'n us a notable Tail-piece instead.

Have been forced to give way to a Snake — with a Sting ;

Which some would interpret as tho' it implied

That the King by the wound of that Serpent had died.

By the happy device which you lately displayed ;

advantages from a name originally assumed by Parker."
The fact was, Parker ever had been the proprietor of the
Gazette and Post-Boy, and had taken Holt as a partner ;
and, two years after, when the copartnership ended, leased
to him his paper and establishment. Holt could not com-
mand any property when he became the partner of Parker,
who had been many years in business, and had acquired
much celebrity as a printer, of which Holt as his partner
was a partaker, and derived much benefit from it ; but after
his partnership and the subsequent lease of Parker's estab-
lishment had expired, and he began business for himself,
he appeared disposed to retain both Parker's Gazette, and
the purchasers of it, without due compensation.

Holt procured a new printing-apparatus at the time he
began the Journal. This paper soon had a very extensive
circulation ; it was sent to all who had been customers to
the Gazette ; and was generally received.

The Journal was a zealous advocate for the American
cause; it was supported by many able writers besides
the editor ; and it maintained its ground until the British
army took possession of the city of New York, in 1776,
when the publisher of it removed to Kingston (Esopus),
and the Journal was discontinued several months ; but was
revived at that place in July, 1777. Esopus was burned
by the British in October of that year, and Holt removed
to Poughkeepsie, where he published the Journal until the
termination of the war.

In the Autumn of 1783, it was again printed in the
city of New York, with an alteration in the title, as fol-
lows : The Independent Gazette ; or The New York Journal
Revived. In January, 1784, it was printed, from a new
and handsome burgeois type, "at No. 47, opposite the
Upper Corner of the Old-Slip, Hanover-Square ;" and was
published twice a week, on Thursdays and Saturdays ; but
before the close of that month the editor, Holt, died.

Elizabeth Holt continued the Journal, after her husband's
decease, until 1785, but it appeared only on Thursdays.1

In January, 1787, Elizabeth Holt and Oswald2 sold their
right in the Journal, and their establishment, comprising
the whole of their printing materials, to Thomas Greenleaf.

Greenleaf, soon after he came into possession of the Jour-
nal, printed it daily, or rather, he made the establishment
the foundation of two papers. One he published with the
same title, weekly, on Thursday, for the country ; the other,
intended for circulation in the city, bore the title of The
New York Journal, and Daily Patriotic Register. The titles
of these papers were afterwards al tered. That printed daily
was called The Argus, or Greenleaf s New Daily Advertiser ;
and the weekly paper was published twice a week, and en-
titled Greenleaf "s New York Journal and Patriotic Register.

When the two great political parties were forming, sub-
sequent to the organization of the federal government, that
which opposed the administration, attacked the measures
of the venerable Washington with a great degree of viru-
lence, in Greenleaf s paper.

Greenleaf was born at Abington, in Massachusetts, and
was taught printing in Boston, by Isaiah Thomas. He was
the son of Joseph Greenleaf, who, at an advanced age, in
1774, engaged in the printing business at Boston.

He continued the papers above mentioned until 1798 ;
at which time the yellow fever raged in New York, and
great numbers left the city to escape that pestilence ; but
Greenleaf remained at his post, took the disease, and fell a

'For a few months, in 1781, it was published by Eleazar Oswald for
Elizabeth Holt; and afterwards, to January, 1787, it was printed in the
name of Eleazar Oswald.

2 Oswald was the kinsman of Mrs. Holt. He had been a colonel in the
American army. In 1782, he commenced the publication of the Inde-
pendent Gazetteer, in Philadelphia. This paper was continued during his
connection with the New York Journal, and for several years after. He
died in September, 1795.

victim to it at the age of forty-two years. He was well
acquainted with his business, enterprising, and amiable in
his manners. After his decease, his widow, Ann Green-
leaf, published both the semi-weekly and daily paper for
a time; but eventually sold her establishment to James
Cheetham, who altered the title of both papers. The one
published semi- weekly was now called, The American Watch-
Tower, and the daily paper bore the title of The American
Citizen. Cheetham was born and brought up in England.
He was not bred to printing, but he was a very able editor,
and a distinguished writer. Occasionally the vigor and
pungency of his style remind his readers of the productions
of the renowned Junius.1

The New York Chronicle.

I have not been able to ascertain, accurately, when this
paper first made its appearance, or when it was discon-
tinued; but it was published by Alexander and James
Robertson, and commenced either in 1768 or 1769.

Not long after the close of the year 1770, the printers of
the Chronicle removed to Albany, and the publication of
it ceased.

Rivingtons New-York Gazetteer ; or The Connec-
ticut, New-Jersey, Hudson s River, and Quebec
Weekly Advertiser.

This Gazette commenced its career April 22, 1773, on a
large medium sheet, folio. It was printed weekly, on Thurs-
day ; and when it had been established one year, this im-

in November following. — M.

print followed the title, " Printed at his Ever open and
uninfluenced press, fronting Hanover-Square." A large
cut of a ship under sail was at first introduced into the title,
under which were the words Now -York Packet. This
cut soon gave place to one of a smaller size. In Novem-
ber, 1774, the ship was removed and the king's arms took
the place of it. In August, 1775, the words " Ever open
and uninfluenced" were omitted in the imprint.

The Gazetteer was patronized in all the principal towns
by the advocates of the British administration who approved
the measures adopted toward the colonies ; and it undoubt-
edly had some support from " his Majesty's government."
The paper obtained an extensive circulation, but eventually
paid very little respect to " the majesty of the people ;"
and, in consequence, the paper and its publisher soon be-
came obnoxious to the whigs.

Rivington continued the Gazetteer until November 27,
1775 ; on which day a number of armed men from Connec-
ticut entered the city, on horseback, and beset his habita-
tion, broke into his printing house, destroyed his press,
threw his types into heaps, and carried away a large quantity
of them, which they melted and formed into bullets. A
stop was thus put to the Gazetteer.1

Soon after this event, Rivington went to England, where
he supplied himself with a new printing apparatus, and was
appointed king's printer for New York. After the British
gained possession of the city, he returned ; and, on October
4, 1777, recommenced the publication of his Gazette under
the original title ; but in two weeks he exchanged that title
for the following, Rivington' 's New York Loyal Gazette ; and
on the 13th of December following, he called his paper The
Royal Gazette. Imprint, " Published by James Rivington,
Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty." The

122 History of Printing in America.

Royal Gazette was numbered as a continuation of the Ga-
zetteer, and Loyal Gazette, and was published on Wednes-
days and Saturdays ; printed on a sheet of royal size, with
the royal arms in the title.

Rivington could not consistently have given the Royal
Gazette the motto selected by our brethren, the printers of
the (Boston) Independent Chronicle — " Truth its Guide,
and Liberty its Object." This Gazette was, by some, called
The Brussels Gazette1 of America; but it commonly
went by the name of Rivington's lying Gazette. Even
the royalists censured Rivington for his disregard to truth.
During the war, a captain of militia at Horseneck, with
about thirty men, marched to Kingsbridge, and there
attacked a house within the British lines, which was garri-
soned by refugees, and took most of them prisoners. Riv-
ington published an account of this transaction which greatly
exaggerated the affair in favor of the refugees ; he observed
that a large detachment of rebels attacked the house, which
was bravely defended by a refugee colonel, a major, a
quartermaster, and fifteen privates; and that after they
were taken and carried off", another party of refugee -dra-
goons, seventy-three in number, pursued the rebels, killed
twenty-three of them, took forty prisoners, and would have
taken the whole rebel force, had not the refugee horse " been
jaded to a stand still" Several times did Rivington apolo-
gize for mistakes made in paragraphs which he himself had
manufactured for his Gazette.

The following appeared in the Royal Gazette of July 10,
1782, when there was a prospect of. peace.

" To the Public. — The publisher of this paper, sensible
that his zeal for the success of his Majesty's arms, his san-
guine wishes for the good of his country, and his friendship
for individuals, have at times led him to credit and circu-

late paragraphs without investigating the facts so closely
as his duty to the Public demanded ; trusting to their feel-
ings, and depending on their generosity, he begs them to
look over past errors, and depend -on future correctness.
From henceforth he will neither expect nor solicit their
favors longer than his endeavors shall stamp the same de-
gree of authenticity and credit on the Royal Gazette (of
New York) as all Europe allow to the Royal Gazette of
London." See Appendix K.

During the war, a newspaper was published daily in the,
city of New York under the following arrangement : Riv-
ington's Royal Gazette on Wednesday and Saturday, Game's
Gazette or Mercury on Monday, Robertson's, Mills & Hick's
Royal American Gazette, on Thursday — and Lewis's New
York Mercury and General Advertiser on Friday. These
papers were all published under the sanction of the British
commander in chief; but none of the printers assumed the
title of " Printers to the King " except Rivington, who had
an appointment.

When the war ended, Rivington discarded from his paper
the appendages of royalty. The arms of Great Britain no
longer appeared. It was no more The Royal, or a Loyal
Gazette, but a plain republican newspaper, entitled Riving-
ton's New York Gazette and Universal Advertiser. It was,
however, considered as a wolf in sheep's clothing, and, not
meeting with support, the publication of it terminated, and
the editorial labors of Rivington ended, in the year 1783.
Few men, perhaps, were better qualified than the editor of
the Royal Gazette to publish a newspaper.

It has been remarked (page 309, vol. i), that for some
time Rivington conducted his paper with as much impar-
tiality as most of the editors of that period ; and it may be
added, that no newspaper in the colonies was better printed,
or was more copiously furnisned with foreign intelligence.
In October, 1773, Rivington informed his readers that each

impression of his weekly Gazetteer, amounted to 3,600
copies.

The Constitutional Gazette,

Was first issued from the press of John Anderson, in
August, 1775 ; the publication of which was on Mondays
and Thursdays, and continued but a few months. It was
printed on a half sheet, quarto, of crown paper. It seems
to have borrowed its title from a political paper published
in New Jersey ten years before ; but it resembled that paper
in the name only.

The New Tork Packet, and the American Advertiser.

The publication of this paper commenced the first week
in January, 1776. It was printed Thursdays, on a sheet
of royal folio, with a new long primer type. Imprint:
" Printed by Samuel Loudon, in Water-Street, between the
Coffee-House and the Old Slip."

I take notice of this paper, although it originated after
the war began, because it was the last established in the city
before the declaration of independence. Loudon died at
Middletown Point, New Jersey, February 24, 1813, in the
ninetieth year of his age.

During the war it was published at Fishkall ; after the
return of peace it was -again printed in the city ; it was
finally changed to a daily paper, and continued several
years.

OTHER PERIODICAL WORKS

PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK BEFORE 1775.

The Independent Reflector.

This was a neatly printed paper, published weekly on
Thursday, on a sheet of foolscap writing, folio, by James
Parker. It contained moral and political essays, but no
news. It first appeared on November 30, 1752, and the
publication of it was supported two years. The pieces in
it were written by a society of literary gentlemen, in and
near New York ; several of whom were afterwards highly
distinguished in public life. The late Governor Livingston,
the Rev. Aaron Burr, president of New Jersey College,
John Morin Scott, Gen. William Alexander, known after-
wards as Lord Stirling, and William Smith, who died chief
justice of Canada, were reputed to be. writers for the
Reflector.

This work, it has been said, ultimately gave much of-
fence to men in power, by whom the writers for it were
silenced. Parker appeared to be intimidated, and declined
being further concerned in the publication. " The authors
applied to him- to publish, by way of supplement, a vindi-
cation of the work, with an account of its origin and de-
sign, and the cause of its being discontinued. He refused,
and some suspected that he was drawn off by those in office,
instead of being alarmed into a relinquishment of the work.
After Parker declined, De Foreest was applied to, who con-
sented to print the supplement ; and in an advertisement
said, or was made to say, that ' the writers of the Reflector,
on this occasion, were obliged to employ the worst printer

in the city.' " These were not, I believe, the identical words
used on the occasion, but it is the import of them.

John Englishman, in Defence of the English Con-
stitution :

Printed on a half sheet, foolscap, and published weekly,
on Friday, by Parker and Weyman. It was continued
about three months.

ALBANY.

A newspaper was first published in this city in 1772.1
Alexander and James Robertson were its publishers.

1 This paper was begun in 1771 ; hence Albany was the second city in
the State of New York, into which printing was introduced. It is in-
ferred that these printers were not established here till late in the season,
from the fact that the city charter was printed this year in New York by
Hugh Gaine. The only work that I have seen of their printing is the city
ordinances of 1773, which is better executed than the charter by Gaine.
A book store was kept before the revolution by Stuart Wilson, in a Dutch
house on the upper corner of North Pearl and State streets.

The next paper here was the New York Gazetteer and Northern Intelli-
gencer, which was first published in May, 1782, by Balentine & Webster.
It was printed on a sheet of short demy, with pica and long primer types,
at 13s. ($1.62^) a year. Advertisements of subscribers were to be in-
serted three weeks gratis. Balentine was addicted to intemperance, and
Webster separated from him at the end of a year. The former then en-
larged the size of his paper, but abandoned it after one year, when Web-
ster returned from New York, and began the publication of the Albany
Gazette, which was continued until 1845. The only works printed by Ba-
lentine & Webster, that have come to light, are a pamphlet, by the Rev.
Thomas Clarke, of Cambridge, Washington county, entitled Plain Reasons,
being a dissuasive from the use of Watts's version of the Psalms, in wor-
ship, and an Almanac for 1783. The only work known of Balantine's
press, is an Almanac of 1784. Mr. Webster began an Almanac in 1784,
for the year following, entitled Webster's Calendar, or the Albany Almanac,
which is still published, and is the oldest almanac extant in the United
States. — M.

The Albany Post- Boy.1

The publication of it ended in 1775. The Robertsons,
as has been observed under the head Connecticut, &c, were,
in 1773, concerned in printing The Norwich Packet; and it
is not improbable that, at the same time, one of them re-
sided in Albany and conducted the Post-Boy. In 1776,
they joined the royalists in the city of New York.

1 The copies of this paper are entitled The Albany Gazette as far as they
can be found. The publication seems to have begun in November, 1771.
The earliest copy that has been discovered after a search of many years,
is No. 8, dated Jan. 20, 1772, and there are a few copies of about that date
preserved in the collection of the Albany Institute. In one of these the
publisher, " from motives of gratitude and duty," apologized to the pub-
lic for the omission of one week's publication, and hoped that the irregu-
larity of the mail from New York, since the first great fall of snow, and
the severe cold preceding Christmas, which froze the paper prepared for
press, so as to put a stop to its operation, would sufficiently account for
it. Alexander Robertson died at Port Roseway, Nova Scotia, Nov. 1784,
aged 42. James returned to Edinburgh, and was in business there in 1810,
and although I have endeavored to trace him since, all effort has failed. — M.

NEW JERSEY

Newspapers were not published in this colony before the
declaration of independence.

The New 'Jersey Gazette,

Was published at Burlington, December 3, 1777. It was
printed weekly, on Wednesday, with a good, long primer
type, and on a sheet of crown paper, folio. Imprint, " Bur-
lington : Printed by Isaac Collins. All Persons may be
supplied with this Gazette for Twenty-Six Shillings per
Annum. Advertisements of a moderate Length are in-
serted for Seven Shillings and Six Pence the first Week,
and Two Shillings and Six Pence for every continuance ;
and long Ones in proportion." This paper was neatly
printed, and well conducted. Its publisher, although of
the society of Friends, was a firm supporter of the rights of
his country ; and he carefully avoided publishing any thing
which tended to injure the religious, civil, or political
interests of his fellow citizens. It was discontinued in
1786.1

MAGAZINE, &c,

PUBLISHED IN NEW JERSEY BEFORE 1775.

New American Magazine.

This work was begun at Woodbridge by James Parker,
in January, 1758, and was continued monthly more than
two years. Each number contained forty pages, octavo.
Although this was a valuable literary work, and but one of
the kind was then published in the colonies,1 there was not
a sufficient number of copies sold to defray the expense of
printing, &c. It was, therefore, discontinued, after being
published twenty-seven months. Ten years after, a large
number of the copies were sold by the printer for waste
paper.

The editor was the honorable Samuel Nevil, under the
signature of Sylvanus Americanos. Judge Nevil was from
England, and had been editor of The London Evening Post.
He had received a liberal education, his knowledge was
extensive, and his writings commanded considerable atten-
tion. He was a judge of the supreme court of New Jersey,
speaker of the house of assembly, and mayor of the city
of Amboy. He died at Perth Amboy, in November, 1764,
aged sixty-seven years.

130 History of Printing in America.

The Constitutional Courant.

After the American stamp act was passed by the British
parliament, and near the time it was to be put in opera-
tion, a political paper was privately printed in Woodbridge,
which attracted much notice. It was entitled " The Consti-
tutional Courant, containing Matters interesting to Liberty —
but no wise repugnant to Loyalty." Imprint, "Printed
by Andrew Marvel, at the Sign of the Bribe refused, on
Constitution-Hill, North America." In the centre of the
title was a device of a snake, cut into parts, to represent
the colonies. Motto — "Join or die." After the title,
followed an address to the public from the fictitious printer
and publisher, Andrew Marvel. This paper was without
date, but was printed in September, 1765. It contained
several well written and spirited essays against the obnox-
ious stamp act, which were so highly colored, that the edi-
tors of newspapers in New York, even Holt, declined to
publish them. See Appendix L.

A large edition "was printed, secretly forwarded to New
York, and there sold by hawkers selected for the purpose.
It had a rapid sale, and was, I believe, reprinted there, and
at Boston. It excited some commotion in New York, and
was taken notice of by government. A council was called,
and holden at the fort in that city, but as no discovery was
made of the author or printer, nothing was done. One
of the council demanded of a hawker named Lawrence
Sweeney, "where that incendiary paper was printed?"
Sweeney, as he had been instructed, answered, " At Peter
Hassenclever's iron-works, please your honor." Peter
Hassenclever was a wealthy German, well known as the
owner of extensive iron works in New Jersey. Afterwards,

Newspapers. — New Jersey. 131

other publications of a like kind frequently appeared with
an imprint, " Printed at Peter Hassenclever's iron-works."

Only one number of the Constitutional Courant1 was pub-
lished ; a continuance of it was never intended. It was
printed by "William Goddard, at Parker's printing house in
"Woodbridge, Goddard having previously obtained Parker's
permission occasionally to use his press.

This political paper was handsomely commended in some
of the periodical works published in England, after the re-
peal of the stamp act.

PENNSYLVANIA,

Before the year 1719, only one newspaper was printed
in the British North American colonies. It was published
at Boston ; and, on the 21st of December, in that year, the
second American journal appeared at the same place.1 On
the following day the third paper was brought forward in
the capital of this province.

PHILADELPHIA.

In 1760, there were only three newspapers published in
that city, viz : two in English, and one in the German lan-
guage. In 1762, two English and two German papers ex-
isted ; one of the latter was afterwards discontinued ; and
from that time until the year 1773, only three papers, two
English and one German, were printed in Philadelphia.

The first newspaper in Pennsylvania was entitled,

and John Copson." May 25, 1721,2 Copson's name was

omitted in the imprint, which was altered thus — " Phila-
delphia : Printed and Sold by Andrew Bradford, at the
b i b l e in Second Street ; and also by William Bradford in
New York, where Advertisements are taken in." "William
Bradford's name as a vender of the Mercury in New York,
was omitted in December, 1725. In January, 1730, an
addition was made to the imprint, viz. " Price 10s. per
Annum. All sorts of Printing Work done cheap, and old
Books neatly bound." In 1738, it was printed in " Front
Street," to which he transferred his sign of the Bible.

The Mercury occasionally appeared on a whole sheet of
pot, from types of various sizes, as small pica, pica and
english. It was published weekly, generally on Tuesday,
but the day of publication was varied. In January, 174f ,
the day of the week is omitted ; and it is dated from Janu-
ary 18 to January 27; after that time it was conducted
with more stability.

In No. 22, two cuts, coarsely engraven, were introduced,
one on the right, and the other on the left of the title ; the
one on the left, was a small figure of Mercury, bearing his
caduceus ; he is represented walking, with extended wings ;
the other is a postman riding full speed. The cuts were
sometimes shifted, and Mercury and the postman ex-
changed places.

The Mercury of December 13, 1739, was " Printed by
Andrew and William Bradford," and on September 11,
1740, it had a new head, with three figures, well executed ;
on the left was Mercury; in the centre a town, intended, I
suppose, to represent Philadelphia ; and, on the right, the
postman on horseback ; the whole formed a parrallelo-
gram, and extended across the page from margin to mar-
gin. This partnership continued only eleven months, when
the Mercury was again printed by Andrew Bradford alone.
The typography of the Mercury was equal to that of Frank-
lin's Gazette.

134 History of Printing in America.

Andrew Bradford died November 23, 1742, and the next
Mercury, dated December 2, appeared in mourning. The
paper was suspended one week, on account of the death of
Bradford ; therefore the first paper, " published by the
widow Bradford,"1 contained an extra half sheet. The
tokens of mourning were continued six weeks.

The widow entered into partnership with Isaiah War-
ner, and the Mercury of March 1, 174§, bears this imprint,
"Printed by Isaiah Warner and Cornelia Bradford."
Warner, in an introductory advertisement, informed the
public, that the paper would be conducted by him.

Cornelia Bradford resumed the publication, October 18,
1744, and carried it on in her own name till the end of
1746. It was, I believe, soon after discontinued. The
Mercury was well printed on a good type, during the whole
time she had the management of it.

The Universal Instructor in all Arts and Sciences ;
And Pennsylvania Gazette.

This was the second newspaper established in the pro-
vince ; it has been continued under the title of the Penn-
sylvania Gazette to the present time, and is now (1810),
the oldest newspaper in the United States.

No. 1 was published December 24, 1728, by Samuel
Keimer, on a small sheet, pot size, folio. In No. 2 the
publisher adopted the style of the quakers, and dated it,
" The 2d of the 11th mo. 1728." The first and second
pages of each sheet were generally occupied with extracts
from Chambers's Dictionary ; this practice was continued
until the 25th of the 7th mo., 1729, in which the article Air
concludes the extracts.

"When the paper had been published nine months, the
printer had not procured one hundred subscribers.

Franklin, soon after he began business, formed the de-
sign of publishing a newspaper, but was prevented by the
sudden appearance of this Gazette ; he was greatly disap-
pointed ; and, as he observes, used his endeavors to bring
it into contempt. He was successful, and the publisher,
being obliged to relinquish it, for a trifling consideration
resigned it to Franklin. At this time, Franklin was in
partnership with Hugh Meredith ; they began printing this
paper with No. 40, and published it a few weeks on Mon-
days and Thursdays, on a whole or half sheet, pot, as
occasion 'required. The price "ten shillings per annum."
The first part of the title they expunged, and called their
paper The Pennsylvania Gazette. " Containing the fresh-
est Advices Foreign and Domestick." The Gazette, under
their management, gained reputation, but until Franklin
obtained the appointment of post-master, Bradford's Mer-
cury had the largest circulation ; after this event, the Ga-
zette had a full proportion of subscribers and of advertising
custom, and it became very profitable.

Meredith and Franklin separated in May, 1732. Frank-
lin continued the Gazette, but published it only once a
week. In 1733, he printed it on a crown half sheet, in
quarto. Imprint, " Philadelphia : Printed by B. Franklin,
Post-Master, at the ISTew Printing-Office near the Market.
Price 10s. a year. Where Advertisements are taken in,
and Book-Binding is done reasonably in the best manner."
In 1741, he enlarged the size to a demy quarto, half sheet,
and added a cut of the Pennsylvania arms in the title. In
1745, he returned to foolscap, folio. In 174| the Gazette
was published " By B. Franklin, Postmaster, and D. Hall ;"
it was enlarged to a whole sheet, crown, folio; and after-
wards, by a great increase of advertisements, to a sheet,
and often to a sheet and a half, demy. On the 9th of May,

1754, the device of a snake, divided into parts, with the
motto, " Join or die," I believe, first appeared in this
paper. It accompanied an account of the French and In-
dians having killed and scalped many of the inhabitants in
the frontier counties of Virginia and Pennsylvania. The
account was published with this device, with a view to
rouse the British colonies, and cause them to unite in
effectual measures for their defence and security against
the common enemy. The snake was divided into eight
parts, to represent, first, New England ; second, New
York ; third, New .Jersey ; fourth, Pennsylvania ; fifth,
Maryland; sixth, Virginia; seventh, North Carolina ; and
eighth, South Carolina. The account and the figures ap-
peared in several other papers, and had a good effect.

The Gazette was put into mourning October 31, 1765,
on account of the stamp act, passed by the British parlia-
ment, which was to take effect the next day. From that
time until the 21st of November following, the publication
of it was suspended. In the interim, large handbills, as
substitutes, were published, headed " Remarkable Occur-
rences," "No Stamped paper to be had," &c. When
revived, it was published without an imprint until Feb-
ruary 6, 1766 ; it then appeared with the name of David
Hall only, who now became the proprietor and the printer
of it.1 In May following, it was published by Hall & Sel-
lers, who continued it until 1772, when Hall died, but was
succeeded by his sons ; and the firm of Hall & Sellers con-
tinued, and the Gazette was published until 1777, when, on
the approach of the British army, the publishers retired
from Philadelphia, and the publication was suspended
while the British possessed the city. On the evacuation
of Philadelphia the Gazette was again revived, and pub-
lished once a week until the death of Sellers, in 1804.

After this event, it was printed by William and David Hall,
and in 1810, published by William Hall, Jr., and George
Pier^ every Wednesday.1 William Hall, Jr., died in
1813, and George Pierce in 1814.

The Pennsylvania Journal and the Weekly Adver-
tiser.

This paper was first published on Tuesday, December 2,
1742. It was printed on a foolscap sheet. The day of pub-
lication was changed to Wednesday. Imprint, " Philadel-
phia : Printed by William Bradford, on the West side of
Second Street, between Market and Chesnut Streets." But
soon after, "at the Corner of Black-Horse-alley."

About the year 1766, the imprint was, " Philadelphia :
Printed and sold by William and Thomas Bradford, at the
corner of Front and Market-Streets, where all persons may
be supplied with this' Paper at Ten Shillings a year. — And
where Advertisements are taken in." In 1774, it had in the
title, a large cut, the device, an open volume, on which the
word "journal" is very conspicuous ; underneath the
volume appears a ship under sail, inclosed in an ornamental
border ; the volume is supported by two large figures ; the
one on the right represents Fame, that on the left, one of
the aborigines properly equipped. This device remained
as long as the Journal was published, excepting from July
1774 to October 1775, during which time the device of the
divided snake, with the motto, "unite or die," was
substituted in its room.

This paper was devoted to the cause of the country;
but it was suspended during the period that the British

1823 or 1824, when it was the oldest paper in the country. — M.

army was in possession of Philadelphia. About the year
1788, it was published semi-weekly ; but its title was not
altered. It continued to be headed The Pennsylvania Jour-
nal and Weekly Advertiser. William Bradford died in 1791 ;
the Journal was published by the surviving partner, until
1797, when it was finally discontinued, and the True Ameri-
can, a daily paper, was published in its stead.

The Pennsylvania Chronicle , and Universal Adver-
tiser.

Containing the frefheft Advices both Foreign and Domeftick ; with a
Variety of other matters, ufeful, inftructive and entertaining.

" Rara Temporum Fclicitas, ubi sentire quae velis, et quae sentias dicere licet !" — Taiitus

In the middle of the title was placed a handsome cut of
the king's arms. The Chronicle was published weekly, on
Monday. The first number appeared January 6, 1767, well
printed from a new bourgeois type, on a large medium sheet,
folio. Imprint, " Philadelphia : Printed by William God-
dard, at the New-Printing Office, in Market-Street, near
the Post-Ofiice. Price Ten Shillings per Annum."

This was the fourth newspaper in the English language
established in Philadelphia, and the first with four columns
to a page, printed in the northern colonies. The second
and third years the Chronicle was printed in quarto, and
the fourth year again in folio, but on a smaller sheet. It
was ably edited ; in all respects well executed ; and it soon
gained an extensive circulation. Joseph Galloway, a cele-
brated character at the commencement of the American
revolution, and a delegate to the continental congress from
Pennsylvania, before the declaration of independence, and
Thomas Wharton, a wealthy merchant, but neither of them
in the whig interest, were silent partners with Goddard.
The Chronicle was established under their influence, and

subject to their control, until 1770. Benjamin Towne, af-
terwards printer of The Pennsylvania Evening Post, was also,
for a short time, a partner in the Chronicle establishment ;
he was introduced to this concern by Galloway and Whar-
ton, who sold him their right in it. In 1770, Goddard
separated from his partners, and the politics of the Chroni-
cle became somewhat more in favor of the country. A
portion of it was, however, for a long time, devoted by
Goddard to the management of a literary warfare which
took place between him and his late partners.

The Chronicle was published until February, 1773. It
was then discontinued, and the publisher of it removed to
Baltimore.

The Pennsylvania Packet y or the General Adver-
tiser.

The Packet was first issued from the press in November,
1771. It was well printed on a sheet of demy, by John
Dunlap, in Market street, Philadelphia. The day of pub-
lication was Monday. A well executed cut of a ship di-
vided the title.

From September, 1777, to July 1778, when the British
army was in possession of Philadelphia, the Packet was
printed in Lancaster. On the return of the proprietor to
Philadelphia, it was published three times in a week ; but
it was again reduced to twice a week, in 1780. In 1783,
and until September 1784, it was published three times a
week by D. C. Claypoole ;l it then became a daily paper,

1 Mr. Claypoole was a gentleman of the old school, supposed to have
been a descendant from Oliver Cromwell, whom he is said to have resem-
bled in feature. The debates in congress, from 1783 to 1799, were printed
in his paper. He also published the first edition of Washington's Farewell
Address, and had permission to preserve the manuscript, which was sold
Feb. 15, 1850, by auction, and purchased by Mr. James Lenox, of New

and was published by John Dunlap and David C. Clay-
poole, and called the Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Adver-
tiser. It was continued till the end of the year 1790 without
alteration. In January, 1791, its size was enlarged ; it was
printed with new type, on a super royal sheet, five columns
in a page, and published by John Dunlap. In December,
1793, it was again printed and published by John Dunlap
& David C. Claypoole. In January, 1796, it is called
Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser ; and printed by David
C. and Septimus Claypoole. In 1799, it is by D. C. Clay-
poole only, as proprietor ; and October 1, 1800, Claypoole
sold his right in the paper to Zachariah Poulson ; who
continued its publication with great reputation.1 This was
the first daily paper published in the United States.

The Pennsylvania Ledger; or, The Virginia, Ma-
ryland, Pennsylvania and New- 'Jersey Weekly
Advertiser.

This Ledger was first published January 28, 1775. It
had a cut of the king's arms in the title. It was printed on
a demy sheet, folio, with new types ; the workmanship was
neat and correct, and it appeared on Saturdays. Imprint,

hagen, Denmark, 16th June, 1787. He was the only son of Nicholas
Paulsen, a printer, who left his native country to enjoy liberty of con-
science. They arrived in Philadelphia in 1749. Zacharia learned print-
ing of Christopher Saur, the noted German printer at Germantown, and
married Anna Barbara Stallenberg. He was a man of the most exem-
plary piety and manners ; his " countenance, on which nature had shed
its bounty, was ever enhanced and lit up by the evidences of a happy train

of mental associations His apparel was a light drab, plain cut coat,

and breeches in old-time fashion." He died on. the 4th of June, 1804,

in Front-Street, at the Corner of Black-horse Alley; —
where Subscriptions are taken in for this Paper, at Ten
Shillings per Year."

The publisher announced his intention to conduct his
paper with political impartiality; and, perhaps, in times
more tranquil than those in which it appeared, he might
have succeeded in his plan. He had, as has been stated,
taken the oath of allegiance to the king of England ; he
pleaded the obligations of his oath, and refused to bear arms
against the British government;1 in consequence of which,
he was deemed a tory, and his paper denounced as being
under corrupt influence. The impartiality of the Ledger
did not comport with the temper of the times ; and, in No-
vember, 1776, Humphreys was obliged to discontinue it,
and leave the city.

A few weeks before the British troops took possession of
Philadelphia, in September, 1777, Humphreys returned,
remained in the city whilst it was in their possession, and
renewed the publication of the Ledger; but, when the
royal army evacuated the place, it was again discontinued,

aged 67. It is recorded of him that he had always been esteemed, by
those who knew him, for his integrity, for the sincerity and ardor of his
friendship, and for his amiable and inoffensive deportment. His remains
were borne to the cemetery of the Moravian church by his brethren of
the typographic art (Rater's Hist. Moravian Church, 90, 91). The son, Zacha-
riah junior, mentioned above, was born in Philadelphia, 5th September,
1761. He served his apprenticeship with Joseph Cruikshank, was eminent
as a printer, and was for many years elected printer for the senate of the
state. On the 1st of October, 1800, he undertook to conduct a daily
paper, having purchased Mr. Claypoole's establishment for $10,000. Poul-
son continued his paper under the title of Poulson's Daily Advertiser, until
Dec. 18, 1839, when it was merged in another concern. He died July 31,
1844, aged 83, " being the last link connecting the publishing fraternity
with that of the days of Franklin." He had acquired a large fortune by
his paper. His portrait is given in The Lives of Eminent Philadelphians.
His son, Charles A. Poulson, died Feb. 15, 1866, aged 77. The Philadelphia
North American, with which the Advertiser was united, announced in
1867, that it had entered upon its one hundredth year, and was never more
prosperous. — M.

and never afterwards revived. "Whilst the British remained
in Philadelphia, the Ledger was published twice a week,
on Wednesday and Saturday, market days, and was called
The Public Ledger and Market Day Advertiser. The last
number was published May 23, 1778, and the British army
quitted the city about the middle of the following month.

The Pennsylvania Evening Post,

Was first published January 24, 1775, by Benjamin
Towne. It was well printed on half a sheet of crown
paper, in quarto, and published three times in a week, viz ;
on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings; "Price
two pennies each paper, or three Shillings the quarter."
This was the third evening paper which made its appear-
ance in the colonies ; the first was The Boston Evening Post,
and the second The New York Evening Post. The Rev.
Dr. Witherspoon, member of congress, and some other dis-
tinguished personages of thatday, it has been said, furnished
the Evening-Post occasionally, with intelligence and essays.
Although the printer of the paper had been the agent of
Galloway and Wharton, he was on the side of the country
until the British army entered the city in 1777. He re-
mained in Philadelphia after that event, and continued the
Evening Post under the auspices of the British general,
until the city was evacuated. Towne was proscribed by a
law of the state of Pennsylvania ; he did not, however, leave
Philadelphia, but again changed his ground ; and, without
molestation, continued his paper until 1782,. about which
time the publication of it terminated. After this he occa-
sionally published handbills, headed " All the News, for
two coppers." These were hawked in the streets by him-
self.1

Story and Humphreys's Pennsylvania Mercury and
Universal Advertiser.

The Mercury first came before the public, in April, 1775 ;
and was published weekly, on Friday, printed on a demy
sheet, folio, with types said to be manufactured in the coun-
try. A large cut decorated the title ; Britain and America
were represented by two figures, facing each other, and in
the act of shaking hands ; underneath the figures was this
motto : " Affection and Interest dictate the Union." Im-
print, " Philadelphia ; Printed by Story and Humphreys,
in Norris's- Alley, near Front-Street, where Subscriptions,
(at Ten Shillings per Annum), Advertisements, Articles
and Letters of Intelligence, &c. are gratefully received."

The Mercury was short lived. The printing house
whence it was issued, and all the printing materials therein
contained, were destroyed by fire in December, 1775 ; and,
in consequence of that event, the paper was discontinued.

This was the last attempt to establish a newspaper in the
city before the American revolution. At the conclusion
of the war another paper by the same title was published
by Humphreys, handsomely and correctly executed, and
was continued for several years.

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS,

PRINTED IN PHILADELPHIA PREVIOUSLY TO THE YEAR

1775.

A newspaper in the German language was published
weekly, in Philadelphia, as early as May, 1743. The printer

144 History of Printing in America.

of it was Joseph Crellius, who first lived in Market street,
but during the year removed to Arch street, where the
paper was probably printed and published several years.
In November, 1743, Crellius advertised in the Pennsyl-
vania Journal, that he had opened his " Winter Evening
German School, and continued to print his "Weekly Ger-
man Newspaper," the title of which, I am informed, was
The High Dutch Pennsylvania Journal. I have not been able
to procure a copy of this newspaper, but I believe it was
the first that was printed in Philadelphia in the German
language.

In February, 1748, Godhart Armbruster commenced the
publication, once in a fortnight, of a newspaper in the
German language. His printing house was then in Race
street.

By an advertisement in The Pennsylvania Gazette of Sep-
tember, 1751, I find there was at that time, " A Dutch&nd
English Gazette, containing the freshest Advices, foreign
and domestick, with other entertaining and useful Matters
in both Languages, adapted to the Convenience of such as
incline to learn either," printed " at the German Printing-
office, in Arch-street; price five shillings per annum."
" At the same place Copper-plate Printing was performed
in the best Manner." The title of the newspaper was 2)te
3ettUltg. The name of the publisher of this paper is not
mentioned; but it is ascertained to have been Godhart
Armbruster, who, in 1747, went to Europe. He returned
in 1748, and brought with him a copper plate printer by
the name of Behm, and a. supply of new German types.
This Gazette was probably that which he first published in
1748. It is mentioned in his Almanac for 1749, and was
then published weekly, at ten shillings per annum. In
1751 it was printed only once in a fortnight, as at first.

A press for the German language had been established
in that city, for some years, at the expense of a society in

Newspapers. — Pennsylvania. 145

London, formed for the benevolent purpose of " promoting
religious knowledge among the German emigrants in
Pennsylvania." School books, and religious tracts in the
German language, were printed at this press ; and, in order
to convey, with the greater facility, political and other in-
formation to the German citizens, a newspaper was pub-
lished at the establishment. The title of the paper I have
not been able to ascertain. It was printed by Anthony
Armbruster ; l with whom, at that time, Franklin was> a
silent copartner.

The Rev. Dr. William Smith, provost of the college at
Philadelphia, was agent for the English society, and had
the direction of the press, and of the newspaper.

Formal complaints having been made to the house of
assembly respecting the official conduct of William Moore,
president of the court of common pleas for the county of
Chester, the assembly applied to the governor to remove
him from office. Moore, in his vindication, presented " a
humble address " to the governor, which was expressed in
terms that proved offensive to the assembly. It was pub-
lished both in the Gazette and in the Journal ; and ap-
plication was made to Dr. Smith to publish a German
translation of it in the German newspaper, with which he
complied. The house of assembly considered this address
as a high reflection on the proceedings of their body, and
resolved that " it was a libel."

The assembly were desirous of discovering the author of
the German translation. They were suspicious of Dr.
Smith. The three printers of newspapers, and several other
persons, were summoned to give their testimony before the
assembly. Hall and Bradford, printers of the English
newspapers, knew nothing of the German translation, and

1 Since the first edition of this work was published, I have been in-
formed that the newspaper here mentioned was the continuation of that
published in 1748, and after by Godhart Armbruster.

146 History of Printing in America.

were dismissed. Armbruster was interrogated, and com-
mitted to the custody of the sergeant at arms, for a contempt
to the house in prevaricating in his testimony, and refusing
to answer a question put to him ; hut he was the next day
discharged, on his asking pardon, giving direct answers,
and paying fees.

The Rev. Dr. Smith, the editor of the German paper, and
Judge Moore, were on the 6th of January, 1758, apprehended
and brought before the house. Moore was charged by the as-
sembly with mal-administration in his office as a magistrate,
and with writing and publishing the address. In respect
to the first charge, he denied the jurisdiction of the house;
at the same time declaring his desire to obtain an impartial
hearing before the governor, the usual tribunal in such
cases ; or, before a court of justice, where he could be ac-
quitted or condemned by his peers. To the second charge
he acknowledged that he wrote and published the address
to the governor, and claimed a right to do it. He was
imprisoned for refusing to acknowledge the jurisdiction of
the house, and for writing the address. Dr. Smith was
also committed for printing and publishing the address,
although he pleaded " that the same thing had been done
four weeks before by Franklin & Hall, printers to the
house, in the Pennsylvania Gazette ; and, afterwards, by
Bradford, printer of the Pennsylvania Journal ; neither of
whom had been molested."

The house, by two resolves, fixed the nature of the crime,
and their own authority to try it. Smith, before he left
the house, offered to appeal to the king in council ; but this
was not taken notice of by the assembly. It was intimated
to Smith, that he could escape confinement only by making
satisfactory acknowledgement to the house ; to this he re-
plied, " that he thought it his duty to keep the Dutch press
as free as any other press in the province ; and, as he was
conscious of no offence against the house, his lips should

never give his heart the lie ; there being no punishment,
which they could inflict, half so terrible to him as the
thought of forfeiting his veracity and good name with the
world." He spoke more to the same purpose, which was
so highly approved by a large audience that on that occa-
sion had crowded into the hall of the assembly, as to pro-
duce a burst of applause. Some gentlemen who gave this
token of their approbation, were taken into custody, exam-
ined, reprimanded and discharged. Smith and Moore
determined to petition the king for redress.1

This German paper was published about the year 1759,
by Weiss and Miller, conveyancers. It was printed for
them about two years by Armbruster.

In 1762, Anthony Armbruster printed this German
paper on his own account, and, in 1764, published it weekly
in Arch street.

H. Miller's German paper was commenced also in 1762 ;
and for some time there were two German and two Eng-
lish newspapers published in Philadelphia.

This newspaper was first published in the German lan-
guage at Philadelphia, in January, 1762 ; printed by Henry
Miller, with German types, very similar to, though hand-
somer than English WacftlS. It was, as occasion required,
printed on a whole or half sheet of foolscap ; the size of the
paper was afterwards enlarged to a crown sheet. The day
of publication, at first, was Monday, but it was frequently
changed.

In 1775, the paper was enlarged to a demy size, and pub-
lished twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday; in 1776,
only once a week, on Tuesdays, at Qs. per annum. In

the publisher retired from business, and his paper was con-
tinued by Steiner & Cist, for a few months, and then by
Steiner only, until 1794 ; and after that time by H. & J.
Kammerer, and others, until 1812, when it was discon-
tinued.

in 1790, and it was supposed about five times that number in the whole
country. The first stage between New York and Philadelphia commenced
running in 1756, and occupied three days in the transit. Newspapers were
carried in the mail free of charge, until 1758, when, by reason of their
great increase, they were charged with postage at 9d. a year for fifty miles,
and 18e£ for 100 miles.— M.

had employed Bradford to print the work. Franklin
asserted that it had previously been engaged to him.
This was contradicted by Webbe ; but he acknowledged
that he had conversed with Franklin on the subject, who
had given to him, in writing, the terms on which he would
print and publish it. The consequence was, that Franklin
began the magazine above mentioned, and published it a
month sooner than Webbe could bring his forward. I
cannot find that Bradford and Webbe printed more than
two numbers of this work.

Was published monthly, through the year 1769, for its
author Lewis Nicola ; each number contained forty-eight
pages. To this magazine were subjoined the transactions
of the American Philosophical Society, of which Nicola
was a member. The work was. begun and ended with the
year. It was printed in octavo, price 135. per annum.

Nicola was born at Rochelle, in France, and educated in
Ireland. He had some appointment in the British army,
but quitted it. He was the author of one or more small
military treatises, written about the commencement of our
revolution, to which he was friendly. He obtained mili-
tary rank in Pennsylvania, and eventually became a
general officer in the militia.

The Royal Spiritual Magazine, or the Christian's

Grand Treasury.

This work was begun in 1771, and published monthly,
for a few months only, by John MacGibbons, in Front
street, between Arch and Race streets.

The Pennsylvania Magazine, or American Monthly

Museum.

This Magazine was first published in January, 1775, by
Robert Aitken. The celebrated Thomas Paine, author of
Common Sense,1 &c, was one of the principal compilers
and writers of the Museum. It was a work of merit;
each number contained forty-eight pages, octavo, with an
engraving. The war put an end to it.

Aitken contracted with Paine to furnish, monthly, for
this work, a certain quantity of original matter ; but he
often found it difficult to prevail on Paine to comply with
his engagement. On one of the occasions, when Paine
had neglected to supply the materials for the Magazine,
within a short time of the day of publication, Aitken
went to his lodgings, and complained of his neglecting to
fulfil his contract. Paine heard him patiently, and coolly,
answered, "You shall have them in time." Aitken ex-
pressed some doubts on the subject, and insisted onPaine's
accompanying him and proceeding immediately to busi-
ness, as the workmen were waiting for copy. He accord-
ingly went home with Aitken, and was soon seated at the
table with the necessary apparatus, which always included
a glass, and a decanter of brandy. Aitken remarked, " he

have seen, that bears the title Common Sense.

would never write without that." The first glass put him
in a train of thinking ; Aitken feared the second would
disqualify him, or render him untractable ; but it only
illuminated his intellectual system ; and when he had swal-
lowed the third glass, he wrote with great rapidity, intel-
ligence, and precision; and his ideas appeared to flow
faster than he could commit them to paper. What he
penned from the inspiration of the brandy, was perfectly
fit for the press without any alteration, or correction.1

GERMAETOWN".

A public journal was printed in the German language
at German town, as early as the summer of 1739, by Chris-
topher Sower.2 The title of it in English, was,

The Pennsylvania German Recorder of Events. z

At first this paper was printed quarterly, at three shillings
per annum ; it was afterward published monthly, and con-

1 Aitken was a man of truth, and of an irreproachable character. This
anecdote came from him some years before his death. Paine, when he
edited the Magazine for Aitken, was suspected of toryism.

a This person was a native of Germany, born 1793, and immigrated 1724.
He wrote his name Saur (pronounced sour), for which reason, it is proba-
ble, his son altered the orthography of his own name to Sower. For a
particular description of Saur and his. enterprises, Simpson's Eminent

grapher, or collection of Impartial Intelligence from the Kingdoms of
Nature and the Church. Saur designed it to serve as a journal for the sect
of Tunkers, with whom he was identified, and at first published it only
occasionally on one side of a sheet for gratuitous distribution. It took a
more definite form in 1736, as a folio, 9 by 13 inches. See Printer's Circu-

tinued for several years. This was, undoubtedly, the first
newspaper printed in the German language in America.

©ermantanner 3eitimg (Germantown Gazette).

This Gazette was printed by Christopher Sower, jun.,
and, probably, as a substitute for the Germantown Recorder,
which had been published by his father. It was a weekly
paper, and commenced about 1744. As an appendage to
it, Sower for some time published, every fortnight, a small
magazine of eight 8vo. pages, containing, chiefly, moral and
religious essays ; with which, it is said, he, for some time,
supplied his newspaper customers gratis. It was entitled
(Sin ©etetlt^eS 9ftaga${n.' The Zeitung was continued until
the troubles occasioned by the revolutionary war obliged
the publisher to drop it. It had an extensive circulation
among the Germans settled in Pennsylvania. Its publica-
tion was continued till 1748.

LANCASTER.

A newspaper in the English and German languages was
published in Lancaster, by Miller and Holland, in January,
1751. What the title of it was I cannot learn, nor the
time at which it was discontinued.

Francis Bailey, it is said, published a paper in English
soon after the beginning of the war, but this fact is doubted
by some. He afterwards removed to Philadelphia, in 1778,
and there published the Freeman's Journal.

DELAWARE.

The district of country which composes the state of
Delaware, was, previously to the revolution, distinguished
as " The Counties of Newcastle, Kent, and Sussex, on
Delaware."

WILMINGTON.

The first and only newspaper published before 1775, in
what is now the state of Delaware, made its appearance in
Wilmington about the year 1762, entitled, if my informa-
tion is correct, The Wilmington Courant, printed and pub-
lished by James Adams, for the short period of six months ;
when, for want of encouragement, it was discontinued.
About the year 1787, Adams commenced the publication
of another paper, entitled The Wilmington Courant. Its con-
tinuance was only two or three years.

MARYLAND.

A newspaper was published at Annapolis, in this colony,
as early as 1728. Three papers only had been printed be-
fore the revolutionary war, and two of them were pub-
lished when it commenced.

The Maryland Gazette.

I cannot determine the exact time when this paper was
first introduced to the public ; but the best information I
can obtain dates its origin from 1727. I have ascertained
that it was published in June, 1728, by the following record
of the vestry of the parish church in Annapolis, dated in
June, 1728, directing " the register of the vestry to apply
to the printer to have an advertisement inserted in the
Maryland Gazette;" and, by a subsequent record of an ac-
count " rendered by the Printer for publishing- an advertise-
ment in the Gazette, and printing hand-bills." These and
other facts indicate that it was established the previous
year ; and I have reason to believe that it was published
irregularly until 1736. I have seen extracts from it dated
in August, 1729.

It was printed by "William Parks.

The Maryland Gazette.

This was the second newspaper published in the colony.
The first had been discontinued about nine years, when the

156 History of Printing in America.

second of the same title came before the public in April,
1745, printed by Jonas Green. It was published weekly,
on Thursday, on paper of foolscap size, folio, but it was en-
larged, some years after, to a crown sheet. The typograph-
ical features of this Gazette were equal to those of any
paper then printed on the continent. It has been regularly
and uniformly published from 1745, to the present time
(1810), with the exception of a short suspension in 1765, on
account of the stamp act; and there is only one paper
printed in the United States which is of prior date.

After it had been published several years, the imprint
was as follows : " Annapolis : Printed by Jonas Green, at
his Printing-Office in Charles-Street; where all persons may
be supplied with this Gazette, at 12/6. a year ; and Adver-
tisements of a moderate Length are inserted for 5s. the
First Week, and Is. each Time after : And long ones in
Proportion."

When the publication of this Gazette was suspended on
account of the stamp act in 1765, its printer occasionally
issued a paper called The Apparition of the Maryland
Gazette, which is not Dead but Sleepeth. At one corner of
the sheet of The Apparition was, as a substitute for a
stamp, the figure of a death's head, about which the words
following were thus arranged :

2Tf)e Shncs aie

Death's

IBtsmal, rI . Bolcful,

Head.

Holorous, Uollar4ess.

The publication of The Maryland Gazette was resumed
January 30th, 1766, and it was printed until 1767 ; com-
pleting a period of twenty- two years by Green, the first
publisher. From April 1767 to December of that year, it
was issued from the press by his widow, Anne Catharine

Green ; and from January 1768 to August 1770, by Anne
Catharine Green and William her son. William died in
1770 ; and Anne Catharine published it until her death,
in March, 1775. It was then continued by her sons,
Frederic and Samuel Green.1

This was the third newspaper published in Maryland,
and first appeared in August, 1773. It was handsomely
printed on a demy sheet, and had a cut of the arms of the
colony, or those of lord Baltimore, in the title. At first it
was published on Saturdays, afterward on Thursdays.
Imprint, " Baltimore : Printed by William Goddard, at
the Printing-Ofnce in Market-street, opposite the Coffee-

Blanks and Hand-Bills in particular are done on the shortest
Notice in a neat and correct Manner."

1 Both Frederic and Samuel Green paid the debt of nature not long
after the first edition of this work was published.

The 81. Mary's Gazette announced in 1848, that it was printed on the
press used in printing this Maryland Gazette, which had been in constant
use for more than a hundred years, and upon which the first edition of
the Laws of Maryland was printed. — M.

158 History of Printing in America.

From 1775, to 1784, Mary Katharine Goddard, in the
absence of her brother, published the Journal in her own
name. In the year 1784, William Goddard resumed the
publication.

During several years Goddard was in habits of intimacy
and friendship with the celebrated but eccentric general,
Charles Lee, who, in one stage of the American war, was
the second in command of the'American army; and, it is
supposed, contemplated the removal of General Washing-
ton from the chief command, with an expectation of occu-
pying his place. Lee having failed in the execution of his
orders at the battle of Monmouth, in 1778, was disgraced,
and spent the remainder of his days in retirement, chiefly
on his large estate in Berkeley county, Va,, said to have
contained 2752 acres of valuable land. He died at Phila-
delphia, October 2, 1782 ; and in his last will and testament,
as a token of his esteem, left Goddard, as has been men-
tioned, a valuable real estate in Virginia.

Lee's papers were deposited in the hands of Goddard
with a view to the publication of them ; and, in June
1785, a proposal for printing them by subscription, in three
volumes octavo, at the price of one guinea, was issued in
the Maryland Journal. The papers consisted, first, of
letters to Lee from persons of distinction, both in Europe
and America; secondly, letters from the general to his
friends in Europe previous to the war, likewise to the prin-
cipal characters in America, civil and military, during his
command in the American army ; and thirdly, essays on
various subjects, political and military ; to which it was
proposed to prefix memoirs of his life.1 In the prospectus,

1 Major General Charles Lee was the son of Colonel John Lee, and a
native of Wales. He was allied to several of the most noble, ancient and
respectable families in England ; and could trace his genealogy from the
Norman conquest. As he possessed a military spirit, he entered the army
early in life ; but the profession of arms did not damp his ardor in the pur-

Newspapers. — Maryland. 159

the publishers observed, " That the greatest task they met
with in collecting and arranging these posthumous papers,
arose from their desire of not giving offence to such charac-

suits of literature. He possessed a competent knowledge of Greek and
Latin ; and, in his travels, formed an acquaintance with the Italian, Span-
ish, German and French languages. He served against the French in
America, anno 1756 ; and, when General Abercrombie was defeated at the
French lines of Ticonderoga in July, 1758, Lee was severely wounded at
the head of his grenadiers. He served with great reputation under Gene-
ral Burgoyne in Portugal ; and was a volunteer against the Turks in the
Russian army, commanded by General Romanzow, where he had some
" hair breath 'scapes." He was made a major general in the army of the
king of Poland ; after which he returned to England, but meeting with dis-
appointments, he retired with some disgust to America, where he became
an enthusiast in the cause of liberty. In the contest which ensued be-
tween England and her colonies, he took up arms in favor of the latter ;
by which proceeding he risked his very considerable estate in England,
which however escaped confiscation ; yet he was deprived of its profits,
and was thereby subjected to many difficulties and mortifying privations.
He lost also his rank of a major general ia the British army, with a very
fair chance of becoming a lieutenant general, and, perhaps, of being made
a peer of the realm. He was eminently useful in forming and disciplin-
ing the American armies, and rendered essential service on many other
important occasions. He " adventured his life far," in " many a well
fought field ; " and did much toward infusing a martial spirit into the
American troops. If General Washington was considered as the Fabius,
he was called the Marcellus, of the American army ; and as he exchanged
a life of opulence, wealth and ease, for the toils, dangers and privations of
war, we cannot doubt that the affections of his soul were honestly and
nobly engaged in the cause of freedom, distinctly and independently of
all the principles and motives of ambition.

The principal part of the estate which he possessed at the time of his
death, he bequeathed to his sister Miss Sidney Lee, who was a lady of ex-
quisite accomplishments, and treated the Americans who were captured,
and imprisoned by the British in England, with great humanity. She
remitted four thousand five hundred pounds sterling to America, in order
to discharge her brother's debts, lest his legatees in this country should be
deprived. of what his friendship and gratitude induced him to bequeath to
them. (For other particulars see Memoirs of General Lee ; Allen? s American
Biography ; Historical Collections, &c.)

Goddard did not publish the work he had projected ; as a person whom
he had engaged as an associate in the publication, and who was entrusted
with the manuscripts, betrayed his trust ; for instead of preparing them
for the press, he sent them to England, where they were printed and sold
for his sole benefit, and formed the imperfect work, which is entitled Me-
moirs of the Life of the late Charles Lee.

160 History of Printing in America.

ters as had been the objects of the general's aversion and
resentment. Unhappily, his disappointments had soured
his temper ; the affair of Monmouth, several pieces of scur-
rility from the press, and numerous instances of private
slander and defamation, so far got the better of his philoso-
phy as to provoke him in the highest degree, and he became
as it were, angry with all mankind.

" To this exasperated disposition we may impute the
origin of his Political Queries, and a number of satirical hints,
thrown out both in his conversation and writing, against
the commander in chief. Humanity will draw a veil over
the involuntary errors of sensibility, and pardon the sallies
of a suffering mind, as its presages did not meet with an
accomplishment. General "Washington, by his retirement,
demonstrated to the world that power was not his object;
that America had nothing to fear from his ambition ; but
that she was honored with a specimen of such exalted pa-
triotism as could not fail to attract the attention and admi-
ration of the most distant nations.

" The reader then will not wonder that General Lee, dis-
appointed in his career of glory, should be continually in-
culcating an idea of the extreme danger of trusting too
much to the wisdom of one, for the safety of the whole ; that
he should consider it as repugnant to the principles of free-
dom and republicanism to continue for years one man as
commander in chief; that there should be a rotation of
office, military as well as civil ; and though the commander
of an army possessed all the virtues of Cato, and the talents
of Julius Cesar, it could not alter the nature of the thing,
since by habituating the people to look up to one man, all
true republican spirit became enervated, and a visible pro-
pensity to monarchical government was created and fos-
tered ; that there was a charm in the long possession of
high office, and in the pomp and influence that attended it,
which might corrupt the best dispositions.

Newspapers. — Maryland. 161

" Indeed it was the opinion of Marcus Aurelius, whose
virtues not only honored the throne but human nature,
that to have the power of doing much, and to confine that
power to doing good, was a prodigy in nature. Such sen-
timents of this divine prince, who was not only trained up
in the schools of austere philosophy, but whose elevated
situation rendered him the most able judge of the difficulty
there is in not abusing extensive power, when we have it
in our hands, furnish substantial arguments for not entrust-
ing it to any mortal whatsoever. But while we are con-
vinced of the justness of these sentiments, we are led the
more to respect and reverence our most disinterested com-
mander in chief, who stands conspicuous with unrivalled
glory, superior to the fascinations which have overthrown
many a great and noble mind."

Before any further steps were taken toward the publica-
tion of this work, Goddard addressed General Washington,
in the most respectful manner, giving him the outline of
the plan, with assurances that every possible precaution
would be taken to avoid injuring either his reputation or
his feelings. To this letter the general returned the follow-
ing answer, which, I believe, has not before been published.

Mount Vernon, 11th June, 1785.
" Sir,

" On the 8th inst. I received the favour of your letter of
the 30th of May. In answer to it I can only say, that your
own good judgment must direct you in the publication of
the manuscript papers of General Lee. I can have no re-
quest to make concerning the work. I never had a differ-
ence with that gentleman, but on public ground ; and my
conduct towards him upon this occasion, was only such as
I conceived myself indispensably bound to adopt in dis-
charge of the public trust reposed in me. If this produced

162 History of Printing in America.

in him unfavourable sentiments of me, I yet can never con-
sider the conduct I pursued with respect to him, either
wrong or improper, however I may regret that it may have
been differently viewed by him, and that it excited his cen-
sure and animadversions.

" Should there appear in General Lee's writings any
thing injurious or unfriendly to me, the impartial and
dispassionate world must decide how far I deserved it from
the general tenor of my conduct. I am gliding down the
stream of life, and wish, as is natural, that my remaining
days may be undisturbed and tranquil ; and, conscious of
my integrity, I would willingly hope that nothing will
occur to give me anxiety ; but should any thing present
itself in this or in any other publication, I shall never under-
take the painful task of recrimination, nor do I know that
I shall even enter upon my justification.

" I consider the communication you have made, as a mark
of great attention, and the whole of your letter as a proof
of your esteem.

" I am, Sir, Your most obed1. humble servant,
" Mr. Goddard. G°. Washington."

Goddard continued the Journal, and published it twice
a week until August, 1792, and then sold his right to
James Angell, who for three years had been his partner.
Angell did not publish the Journal a long time, but sold
the establishment to Philip Edwards, and soon after died
of the yellow fever in Philadelphia.

Before 1786, Edward Langworthy was, for a few months,
a partner with Goddard in the Journal.

VIRGINIA

Only two newspapers were published in Virginia before
1775. They were both printed at Williamsburg. The first,
which was under the influence of the governor, commenced
August, 1736. The second in 1766. l

The first public journal printed in the colony was en-
titled,

The Virginia Gazette.

It appeared as early as the year 1736, on a half sheet
foolscap, and, occasionally, on a whole sheet, printed by
William Parks, who continued it until he died, in 1750.
Some months after his death the paper was discontinued.

This in fact was but a renewal of the first Gazette, which
had been a short time suspended, but it commenced with
No. 1. It was published weekly, on Monday, on a crown
sheet, folio, neatly printed, and had a cut of the Virginia
arms in the title. The first number was published in Feb-
ruary, 1751. Imprint, " Williamsburg : Printed by William

length for Three shillings the first week, and Two shillings
each week after." In this Gazette were published, in
1757, many well written essays, under the signature of The
Virginia Centinel.

Hunter died in 1761. The Gazette was enlarged to a
demy size, and published by Joseph Royle ; after whose
death it was carried on by Purdie and Dixon ; who con-
tinued it until the commencement of the war ; and Purdie
alone published it several years during the revolutionary
contest.

" Published by Authority " was omitted in the head of the
Gazette.

This paper was published by Rind until his death, which
happened on the 19th of August, 1773. Clementina Rind,
who was his widow, continued it after he died ; and to her
succeeded John Pinckney, who also died soon after, and
the Gazette was discontinued.

NORTH CAROLINA.

The establishment of three newspapers had been at-
tempted in North Carolina before the revolution. One of
these, after the first trial, was discontinued for several
years, and then revived. Another was published only
three years, between 1763 and 1768, and dropped. The
third was begun about 1770, and this, as well as the first,
was published when the war commenced.1

NEWBERN.

The first paper published in the colony was printed at
Newbern, under the title of

James Davis brought the first press into this state from Virginia, in 1749,
and printed the first edition of the acts of the assembly ; that the first pe-
riodical paper was called the North Carolina Magazine, or Universal Intelli-
gencer, which was printed on a demy sheet, in quarto pages, and was filled
with long extracts from theological works and British magazines. Mr.
Lossing's account of early printing in this state differs materially from that
of Mr. Thomas.— if.

all persons may be supplied with this paper at Sixteen
Shillings per Annum : And where Advertisements of a
moderate length are inserted for Three Shillings the first
Week, and Two Shillings for every week after. And
where also Book-Binding is done reasonably."

This paper was published about six years, after which it
was discontinued.

On the 27th of May, 1768, it again appeared, numbered
one, and enlarged to a crown sheet, folio ; the imprint,
after the title, was : " Printed by James Davis, at the Post-
Oifice in Newbern." The price of Advertisements, and
the paper per annum, the same as in 1755. It was con-
tinued after the commencement of the war.

WILMINGTON.

A newspaper was published in this place about the year
1764. I am not certain respecting the title of it, but if I
recollect aright, it was

The Cape -Fear Gazette and Wilmington Advertiser}

A small cut of the king's arms was in the title. This
Gazette was printed on a sheet of pot, on pica and long
primer types, by Andrew Steuart, who styled himself
" Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty." It was
discontinued before or during the year 1767.

1 Mr. Lossing says it was called the North Carolina Gazette and Weekly
Post Boy; that the first number was printed in September, 1764. — M.

The Cape- Fear Mercury.

" Quod verum atque decens euro et rogo, et Omnis in hoc Sum."

The Mercury was first published October 13, 1769.1 It
was printed weekly, on Friday, on paper of crown size,
with pica and long primer types. A cut of the king's
arms was in the title. The imprint was long and singular,
viz: "Boyd's Printing-Office in Wilmington, Cape-Fear,
where this Paper may be had every Friday at the Kate of
16 s. a year, one half to be paid at the time of Subscribing,
or at 8 s. every six months. Subscriptions for this Paper
are taken in by Gentlemenin most of the adjacent Counties,
and by A. Boyd, who has for sale sundry Pamphlets and

larger quantity. N.B. Advertisements of a moderate
Length will be inserted at 4 s. Entrance, and 1 s. a Week
Continuance : Those of an immoderate Length to pay in
proportion."

This paper was badly printed ; and although destitute of
system in the arrangement of its contents, it was, I believe,
continued until 1775.

SOUTH CAROLINA

The publication of a newspaper was not attempted in this
colony till the year 1732.

CHARLESTON.

The first newspaper published in the Carolinas, made its
appearance in this qjty January 8, 1731-2, printed by
Thomas Whitmarsh.1 It bears the title of

The South-Carolina Gazette.

Containing the frefheft Advices, Foreign and Domeftick.

" Omnt tulit punctum, qui miscuit utile Juki.

It was published on Saturdays, through that year, and,
as circumstances required, on a sheet or half sheet of paper,
pot size, but soon after was discontinued, on account of the
sickness and death of its publisher. See Appe?idix M.

1 There is an indication that Eleazer Phillips, Jr., printed the first paper
in Charleston. We learn from King's Newspaper Press of Charleston, that
Phillips died in July, 1732, and that his father advertised nearly two years
after, for settlement of debts due the former for six months subscriptions
to the South Carolina Weekly Journal, a paper which is not named in any
of the early records of the press, and of which no other trace can be found.
It will be seen by reference to the first volume of this work, p. 340, that
Phillips was the first printer in the colony. — M.

Timothy died about the year 1738, and the paper was
continued by his widow for a short time, with the aid of her
son. The son, in 1740, published it on his own account.
His imprint was, " Charles-Town : Printed by Peter Timo-
thy, in King-street, where Advertisements are taken in.
Price 15s. a Quarter." Some years after, it was printed
" in Broad-Street."

The size of this Gazette was enlarged from time to time,
until the year 1760, when it was printed on a sheet of the
size of medium, four columns in a page ; and a cut of the
king's arms was added to the title. The day of publication
was changed to Monday ; but it seldom made its appear-
ance on that day. No mail was then established between
the southern and northern colonies, and the Gazette
depended on the arrival of vessels from distant ports for
supplies of intelligence. The publisher often waited
several days for arrivals ; but the Gazette dated Monday
was always issued within the week.

The publication was interrupted a few weeks in 1765, at
the time the British stamp act was to take place. The
Gazette had a large number of advertising customers ; and
it was ably conducted. It supported the cause of the
country, and energetically opposed the measures of the
British administration.

In 1772, this Gazette was printed by Thomas Powell,
who continued it two or three years, at Timothy's printing
house. Powell, during this time, accounted to Timothy,
the proprietor, for a certain proportion of the proceeds.

About May, 1775, the Gazette was discontinued; but it
was revived by Timothy in April, 1777, when the title was
altered to The Gazette of the State of South- Carolina. Timothy
conducted this paper until the city was about to be sur-
rendered to the British in 1780, when it was again sus-
pended, and the publisher became a prisoner of war.

After the restoration of the city, Timothy being dead,
his widow, Anne Timothy, revived the Gazette, and from
December, 1782, published it twice a week, on Monday and
Thursday, until her death, which took place in 1792.

On the death of Anne Timothy, the Gazette was pub-
lished by her son, Benjamin Franklin Timothy, who soon
took a partner, and the Gazette appeared under the title of
The South- Carolina State Gazette, and Timothy and Mason's
Daily Advertiser. " Printed at the corner of Bay and Broad
Streets." When the partnership of Timothy and Mason
was dissolved, the Gazette was printed by B. F. Timothy
until 1800. In that year the publication of it finally ceased.
B. F. Timothy died in 1804.

[See Peter Timothy, I, 342 ; Thomas Powell, I, 345.]

1 Peter Timothy Marchant, great grandson of Lewis Timothy, was in
1807 and 1808, one of the members of the house of Marchant, Willington
& Co., editors of The Charleston Courier.

172 History of Printing in America.

The South-Carolina and American General Gazette.

This paper was first published in 1758, by Robert "Wells.
It was printed on a medium sheet, four columns in a page ;
the day assigned for the publication was Friday, but al-
though so dated, it did not regularly appear, but was at
times delayed several days; it was published, however,
without intermission once in a week. It had -a cut of the
king's arms in the title; and, some time after its first pub-
lication, the following motto from Horace was adopted:
" Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri." Imprint,
Charlestown : Printed by R. Wells and G. Bruce, for
Robert Wells, at the Great Stationery and Book-Store on
the Bay."

After this Gazette had been printed a few years by Wells
and Bruce, the connection between them was dissolved,
and Wells printed and published the paper in his own name,
a short intermission excepted when the stamp act of 1765
was to have taken effect, until 1775. Wells being a royal-
ist he went to England soon after the war commenced, and
this Gazette was continued by his son John Wells until
1780, when the city fell into the possession of the British ;
on which event the paper was discontinued, and John
printed a Royal Gazette. Very few original essays ap-
peared in The South Carolina and American General Gazette;
but while it was published by the senior Wells, the intel-
ligence it contained was judiciously selected, and method-
ically arranged, and it had a large share of advertisements ;
for which reason it was often accompanied by an additional
half sheet.

After the younger Wells became the editor, it supported
the cause of the country until about the period when it was
discontinued.

The South Carolina Gazette, and Country Journal.

Containing the frefhefl: Advices, both Foreign and Domeftick.

This paper was established in opposition to the British
American stamp act, ISTovember, 1765, and was published
without stamps about the time the act was to have taken
effect. The title bore a cut of the king's arms. Tuesday
was the day of publication, and it was printed on a sheet of
demy, folio, from a new bourgeois type. It was often ac-
companied by ahalf sheet supplement. Imprint, "Charles-
Town : Printed by Charles Crouch at his Office in Eliott-
Street, Corner of Gadsden's Alley."

The general opposition of the colonies to the stamp act
induced the public to patronize this Gazette. It imme-
diately gained a large list of respectable subscribers, and a
full proportion of advertising customers.

Of the three newspapers printed at that time in Charles-
town, this only appeared regularly, on the day it was dated.
These papers were all entitled Gazettes, in order to secure
certain advertisements, directed by law to be " inserted in
the South Carolina Gazette."

Crouch published his Gazette till he died in 1775. His
widow continued it a short time, but it finally ceased.

GEORGIA

SAVANNAH.

The Georgia Gazette,

Was first published on the 17th of April, 1763, printed
on a new long primer type, on a foolscap sheet, folio, two
columns in a page, and continued weekly, on Wednesday.
Imprint, " Savannah : Printed by James Johnston, at the
Printing-Office in Broughton-Street, where Advertisements,
Letters of Intelligence, and Subscriptions for this Paper, are
taken in. — Hand-Bills, Advertisements, &c, printed on the
shortest Notice." After a few years, it was enlarged and
printed on a sheet of crown size.

The publication of this Gazette was for some time sus-
pended, like that of several others on the continent, when
the British American stamp act was to take place in 1765 ;
but it was, at the end of seven months, revived. It reap-
peared in May, 1766 ; and, in September of that year, a cut
of the king's arms was introduced into the title. It was
again suspended for some time during the war. The Ga-
zette was published twenty-seven years by Johnston, and
continued by his successors. It was the first and only
newspaper published in the colony, before the revolution.

NEW STATES, &c

VERMONT

In February, 1781, the first newspaper printed in Ver-
mont was published at Westminster ; it was entitled, The
Vermont Gazette or Green Mountain Post-Boy. Motto —

" Pliant as Reeds, where streams of Freedom glide ;
Firm as the Hills, to stem Oppression's Tide.

It was printed on a sheet of pot size, and published
weekly, on Monday, by Judah Paddock Spooner and Timo-
thy Green. Green resided in New London, and Spooner
conducted the Gazette, which was continued only two or
three years.

In 1810 there were not less than fourteen newspapers in
this state, which forty years before was an uncultivated
wilderness.

After the establishment of peace, the settlement of the
uncultivated country progressed with a rapidity unparal-
leled, perhaps, in history. The press seems to have fol-
lowed the axe of the husbandman ; forests were cleared,
settlements made, new states were formed, and gazettes
were published.

KENTUCKY.

A Gazette was first published in this state in Septem-
ber, 1786, by John Bradford, in Lexington. Another news-

paper was soon after printed at Frankfort. Others speedily
followed in various towns.

TENNESSEE.

In 1793, B. Roulstone, from Massachusetts, settled at
Knoxville ; and, in that year, first published The Knoxville

Gazette.

OHIO.

Printing was introduced into this state at Cincinnati in
1795, by S. Freeman £ Son ; and they published a newspaper.
A second newspaper was published at that place in 1799.
Then a press was established at Marietta, from which was
issued The Ohio Gazette ; and, there are now (1810), other
newspapers published in the state; particularly two or
three at Chillicothe.1

MISSISSIPPI TERRITORY.

A press has been established at Natchez, and a news-
paper published.

1 Tfie Ohio Patriot, a newspaper published in 1811, contains the following
remark, " The progress of population in the state of Ohio is truly astonish-
in"-. Large districts of country, extending hundreds of miles, over which
one of the editors wandered thirteen years ago, amid the gloom of the
groves, without viewing ' the human face divine,' except in the persons
of his military companions, or the solitary Indian hunter, are now covered
with populous towns, in several of which newspapers are published."

Newspapers. — Louisiana. 177

LOUISIANA.

Several newspapers were published in the city of ISTew
Orleans, immediately after the country was purchased by
the government of the United States.

There is now (1810), a press at St. Louis, in Upper Lou-
isiana, at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers, at which a newspaper is printed.

NOTE.

Maine. The first paper printed in this state is said to have been esta-
blished at Falmouth in 1785 for the purpose of advocating a separation
from Massachusetts. It was about the size of a sheet of foolscap, and
was made up principally of extracts from other papers, giving dates a
fortnight or three weeks old from Boston and New York as the latest in-
telligence. The printer, whose name is not mentioned, was living in
1842.

Michigan. It is stated in the Catholic Almanac of 1871, that Gabriel
Richard, a French Catholic priest, was the first person that undertook
printing west of the Alleghanies. He printed a paper called the Essai du
Micliiganva. 1809, which seems to have given offense to the British autho-
rities, by whom he was imprisoned. There were undoubtedly earlier
printers west of the Alleghanies.

Illinois. The Illinois Herald, the first paper in that state, was begun
at or before 1809, by Matthew Duncan, at Kaskaskia. It passed soon after
under the name of Illinois Intelligencer, and was removed to Vandalia.

Mississippi. A paper is said to have been established at Natchez in
1808, but nothing authentic is found concerning it.

Missouri. A paper is reported to have been printed at St. Louis, called
the Gazette in 1806.

Indiana. The Western Sun, the first paper in this territory, was begun
at Vincennes in 1808.

Wisconsin. The Green Bay Republican was printed by W. Shoals in
1831 or 1832.

Arkansas. The first paper in this state is supposed to have been issued
in 1834, at Little Rock.
Iowa had a paper at Burlington in 1836.
Texas. The Galveston Star was commenced in 1834.

California. It was not till 1848 that a paper was begun on a small
sheet at San Francisco, called Alia California.
Oregon. A paper called The Freeman was begun at Columbia in 1847.

Minnesota. S. Randall began to publish The Register at St. Paul in
1849.— M.

BRITISH COLONIES,

ON THE CONTINENT.

NOVA SCOTIA.

This colony continues to be a part of British America.
The settlement of the chief town of the colony, Halifax,
commenced in 1749, at the expense of the British govern-
ment. The first press established in the province was
in 1750.

HALIFAX.

Soon after the commencement of the settlement of this
town, printing was introduced, and a newspaper published
with the title of

The Halifax Gazette.

It first appeared in January, 1752, and was printed
weekly, on half a sheet of foolscap paper, by John Bushell,
from Boston. The circulation of the Gazette was in a
great measure confined to the town, which was then a
mere garrison. After a trial of some months the publica-
tion of it was for a long time suspended ; at length it was

180 History of Printing in America.

revived, but not issued at regular periods till about the
autumn of 1760 ; which was soon after Bushell died.

Anthony Henry commenced the republication of this
Gazette in 1761. His first paper was marked No. 1, and
a cut was placed at each end of the title ; the one on the
right appeared to be designed for a fowler pursuing game ;
that on the left was a ship. He continued to print it
weekly, on Thursday, in a very indifferent manner, and
with few customers, until 1765, when the British stamp
act was enforced in the colony.1 It. was then printed on
stamped paper. Not more than seventy copies were issued
weekly from the press. The subscribers did not amount
to that number. The Gazette had been printed on a half
sheet ; but after the stamp act went into operation, it ap-
peared on a whole one, because there was only one stamp
on a sheet. Not more than six or eight reams of stamped
paper, of the sort appropriated to newspapers, had been
sent from England for the colony ; the whole of which
came into the possession of Henry, and in a few weeks it
was expended ; or rather the stamps were, unknown to him,
by the assistance of a binder's press and plough, cut from the
paper ; and the Gazette appeared without the obnoxious
stamp, and was again reduced to half a sheet. The im-
print when printed on a stamped sheet, was — " Halifax,
(in Nova-Scotia) ; Printed and Sold by A. Henry, at his
Printing-Ofnce in Sackville-Street, where all persons may
be supplied with a whole Sheet Gazette, at Eighteen Shil-
lings [three dollars and sixty cents] a year, until the pub-
lisher has 150 Subscribers, when it will be no more than
Twelve Shillings, Advertisements are taken in and inserted
as cheap as the Stamp- Act will allow."

1 The stamp act took effect in Nova Scotia, Canada and the Floridas,
on the continent ; and in the islands of Jamaica, Barbadoes, Antigua and
Grenada.

Newspapers. — Nova Scotia. 181

In 1766, another newspaper was published in the place,
handsomely printed and well edited ; but Henry, after a
short suspension, continued his Gazette. In 1770, the
other paper was discontinued ; and, in consequence thereof,
Henry obtained an accession of customers. He placed the
king's arms in the title of the Gazette, which he altered to
The Nova Scotia Gazette and the Weekly Chronicle. The size
of the paper was enlarged, and the typography was much
improved. The publication ceased in 1800, on the death
of the printer.

The Nova Scotia Gazette.

This paper was first published August 15, 1766. It was
handsomely printed, weekly, on a crown sheet, folio, on a
new long primer type. The day of publication was Thurs-
day. Imprint, " Halifax : Printed by Robert Fletcher,
and Sold by him at his Shop near the Parade ; where all
Sorts of Printing is executed neatly, correctly and expe-
ditiously. Subscriptions received at Twelve Shillings ' a
Year, or Three Pence a Paper. Advertisements of a
moderate Length inserted at Three Shillings2 each."

This Gazette was printed until 1770, when the publisher
who came from England, returned to that country, and the
paper was discontinued.

No other newspaper was published in Nova Scotia till
after the war commenced.

CANADA.

Only one newspaper was published in Canada before
1775. In 1791, this territory was divided, and another
province formed, distinguished by the name of Upper
Canada. There are now (1810) several newspapers printed
in that part which is called Lower Canada, and one or
more in the new province.

QUEBEC.

The Quebec Gazette, La Gazette de Quebec,

"Was first published in January, 1765, printed in Eng-
lish and French, on a sheet of foolscap, folio, but after-
wards enlarged to a crown size, two columns to a page,
the first in English, the second, containing the same mat-
ter, in French. A very handsome cut of the king's arms
appeared in the title. It was published weekly, on Thurs-
day. Imprint, " Quebec ; Printed by Brown & Gilmore,
at the Printing-Office in Parlour-Street, in the Upper
Town, a little above the Bishop's Palace. Advertisements
of a moderate Length (in one Language) inserted at five
Shillings, Halifax, the first Week, and one Shilling each
Week after ; if in both Languages, Seven Shillings and
Six Pence, Halifax,1 the first Week, and half a Dollar each
Week after." Then followed an imprint in French of the
same import.

1 One shilling equal to twenty cents.

Newspapers. — Canada. 183

The Gazette was discontinued a short time on account
of the stamp act, in 1765.

In 1774, this paper was published by William Brown
only, the senior partner, at his printing house " behind the
Cathedral Church." After the death of Brown, it was
continued by his nephew Samuel Neilson, who died, and
was succeeded by John Neilson, " in Mountain-street,"
who now (1810), continues the Gazette.

MONTREAL.

A newspaper in the French language entitled Gazette du
Commerce et Litteraire, Pour la Ville et District de Montreal,
was first published in that city, June 3, 1778, by Fleury
Mesplet & Charles Berger. It was printed on half a sheet
of crown, quarto, with a new bourgeois type. Imprint,
" Montreal, Chas. F. Mesplet & C. Berger, Imprimeurs et
Libraires." The partnership did not long exist ; in Sep-
tember following, the title was altered to " Gazette Litte-
raire, pour la Ville, £c." and published" by Mesplet only,
who continued it until he died. Le Roi succeeded Mes-
plet, and published the paper a short time. Edward Ed-
wards, after the death of Le Roi, conducted it until the
year 1808, when it was discontinued.

Other newspapers have been published since 1775, in
Quebec and in Montreal ; some of which have attained a
permanent establishment.

A Gazette has lately been established at York, in
Upper Canada.1

•The Canadian Antiquarian & Numismatic Journal of October, 1872,
has an article on " The first printing establishment of Montreal," in
which the first newspaper is called La Gazette de Montreal." — H.

NEW BRUNSWICK

Newspapers were not printed in this province until the
year 1783 ; two or three then issued from the presses of
those printers who, during the war, were with the British
army in New York, &c, but who, when peace was esta-
blished, left the United States and settled at St. John, the
chief town of New Brunswick. I do not know of more
than one Gazette now (1810) published in the province.

BRITISH ISLANDS.

JAMAICA.

A printing press was established on this island about
1720; and within one or two years after a newspaper was
published at Kingston.

The Weekly 'Jamaica C our ant.

This paper was published at Kingston as early as August,
1722, and as late as 1755, on a sheet of demy, folio; but
the exact time at which the publication commenced or
closed, I cannot ascertain.

The Kingston "Journal.

The Journal was published weekly, on Saturday. In
1756, it was printed on a sheet of medium, folio, by
Woolhead; and, in 1761, by Woolhead, Gad and Bennett,
" Printers to the Hon. Council in Harbour-Street."

The Jamaica Gazette.

This Gazette made its appearance as early as 1745. In
1760, it was printed weekly, on Saturday, on medium,
folio. John Walker, one of the proprietors, died in 1786.

C. S. Woodham had a printing house in Kingston in
1756, and published an Almanac and Register annually.

186 History of Printing in America.

The St. Jago Intelligencer.

The Intelligencer was first " printed at St. Jago de la
Vega,"1 about 1756, and was published weekly on Satur-
day. In 1768, Lawry and Sherlock were the printers of
it, the size medium, folio. " Price per annum Thirty Shil-
lings, currency, and Two Pistoles sent by post to any part
of the island."

The Cornwall Chronicle, and Jamaica General

Advertiser.

The Chronicle first issued from the press May 29, 1773 ;
and was published weekly, on Saturday, " at Montego-Bay,"
by Sherlock & Co. The size was medium, folio. In 1781,
and from that time to 1806, it was printed by James Fan-
nin ; who died in England in 1808.

The Royal Gazette.

This paper first came before the public in 1778. It was
published by Douglas & Aikman until 1784, when it was
" Printed by Alexander Aikman, Printer to the King's
Most Excellent Majesty, at the King's Printing-Office in
Harbour-Street, Kingston." The royal arms were in the
centre of the title, and it was very handsomely printed on
a medium sheet, quarto.

I have mentioned this paper although the publication
commenced after 1775, in order to mark the devotion of it
to royalty ; the printer was no republican. In May, 1786,
he advertised in The Royal Gazette, The Royal Almanack,
The Royal Register, and The Royal Sheet Almanack; "all

printed at the royal press, and sold at the King's Printing-
Office in Kingston."

David Douglas, a Scotchman, was manager of the Ame-
rican theatre before the revolution ; l and after the com-
mencement of hostilities, he came to Jamaica. He was a
scholar, and a man of talents and integrity. Here he was
patronized by the governor, and appointed with Aikman
printer to the king, in Jamaica, a lucrative office ; he was
also appointed master in chancery, and commissioned as a
magistrate. It has been said, that in a few years he ac-
quired, with reputation, by these offices, a fortune of twenty-
five thousand pounds sterling. He died in Spanishtown
in 1786.

BARBADOES.

Printing was introduced to this island as early as 1730,
and a newspaper was first published in 1731. There was
no other press in the Caribbee islands for several years
subsequent to that period.

David Harry. It is supposed that David Harry was the
first who opened a printing house on the island. He served
his apprenticeship, as we have elsewhere mentioned, with
Keimer at Philadelphia, and succeeded him in business ;
but he left that city, and removed to Barbadoes with his press

1 The revolutionary war closed the theatres on this part of the conti-
nent. The players were few in number, and formed only two companies
under the management of Douglas and Hallam. Douglas was for some
years the principal manager both on the continent and in the West Indies.
In 1758, he, with his company, called The American Company of Come-
dians, performed for the first time at New York in a sail loft, on Cruger's
wharf, to an audience said to have been very brilliant. The theatres be-
fore 1775, were temporary wooden buildings, little better than barns. The
first play publicly performed in New England, was by Douglas and his
company at Providence, Rhode Island, in 1762.

188 History of Printing in America.

aboutthe year 1730. At Bridgetown, Harry found Keimer,
and obtained his assistance in tbe printing house ; so that,
as Dr. Franklin remarks, " the master became the journey-
man of his former apprentice."

Business, it seems, did not suit Harry better in Barba-
does than in Philadelphia ; on the contrary, he became
more dissipated, and his profits from printing were not
equal to his expenditures. In a few months he sold his
printing materials, and returned to Philadelphia.

[See vol. i, pp. 240-41.]

Samuel Keimer, to whom Benjamin Franklin was seve-
ral years a journeyman in Philadelphia, removed from that
city to this island. He sold his press and types to Harry
before he left Philadelphia. Harry then sold them to
Keimer, as has been stated, who resumed business, and
published a newspaper at Bridgetown in 1731, entitled,

The Barbadoes Gazette.

This was the first newspaper published in the Caribbee
islands, and the first known to have been published twice
a week, for any considerable time, in any part of America.
This, however, finally became a weekly journal. It was
continued by Keimer until the end of 1738 ; and he soon
after died. The Gazette was published many years after
his death by those who succeeded to his business.

In 1733 Keimer was presented by the grand jury of the
island for publishing, in the Barbadoes Gazette, a defama-
tory libel on Mr. Adams, one of the king's council. The
attorney general, on that occasion, declared that there was
not anything in the publication complained of, which could
justify a prosecution under the criminal law, yet Keimer
was bound to keep the peace during six months.1

A work was published in London in 1741, in two vol-
umes quarto, chiefly selected from, this Gazette, entitled,
Caribbeana; a Collection of Essays, £c, "from a paper
carried on several years at Barbadoes."

Franklin has informed us that Keimer was a poet. I
have met with one of his poetical essays in the Barbadoes
Mercury, and insert it as a specimen of his poetical talents,
and for the information it contains respecting the encourage-
ment given in his time to the typographic art by the colonial
government on this continent. It is as follows :

George Esmand & Company. This firm in 1762 opened
a second Printing house at Bridgetown, and began the pub-
lication of

The Barbadoes Mercury.

It was published weekly, on Saturday; printed with
long primer types, on a crown sheet, folio. Imprint,
" Bridge-Town, Printed by George Esmand and Comp. at
the new Printing-Office, in Back-Chnrch-Street. Price
one Pistole per Annum."

The memorable stamp act took effect in this island in
1765, and the Mercury was printed on stamped paper.

In 1771, the firm was Esmand & Walker.

George Esmand died in November, 1771, and William
Walker in February, 1773.

The Mercury was continued after the year, 1794.

ST. CHRISTOPHER.

Printing was brought to this island as early as 1746, and
may have been introduced two or three years sooner.
There were two printing houses established before 1775.

Thomas Howe. He probably was the first printer, and
settled at Basseterre. Howe printed the laws, and did other
work for government ; and, in 1747, published

The St. Christopher Gazette.

This paper was continued until after the year 1775.
Howe was a native of Ireland, and lived to old age.

Samuel Jones was a printer and postmaster at Basse-
terre before 1757, and published a newspaper. He died
in London in 1762, after an illness of eight days, of in-
flammation of the lungs.

Edward Dubson, printed after Jones, and was in busi-
ness after 1767, at Basseterre.

Daniel Thibou, had a printing house on this island in
1769, and in that year printed the acts of assembly, from
1711 to 1769. He printed several other works.

The St. Christopher Gazette.

A second newspaper bearing this title was published at
Basseterre. The Gazette printed November 19, 1785, is
numbered 693, vol. vn. It then had this imprint, " Basse-
terre, Saint Christopher, Printed by Edward L. Low in
Cayon-Street, No. 84."

192 History of Printing in America.

ANTIGUA.

I cannot determine the year when printing was intro-
duced to Antigua, but believe it was about 1748.

I have not discovered that any press was erected on this
island prior to the time when Benjamin Mecom opened a
printing house, about 1748. He has been taken notice of
in the course of this work, as a printer in Boston, New
Haven and Philadelphia. It was at St. John that he first
began business, and published a newspaper, entitled

The Antigua Gazette.

Mecom continued this publication six or seven years,
and then removed to Boston, Massachusetts, his native
place.

Alexander Shipton, published the Gazette, before and
after 1767, which was by him printed weekly, on Wednes-
day, on a crown sheet, folio, chiefly with small pica types ;
andvhad, in the title, a small cut of a basket of flowers.

The Antigua Mercury.

A newspaper with this title was published in 1769 ; but
how long it was printed before or after that time, I am not
able to say.1

1 John Mears printed a well conducted newspaper in St. Johns in 1779,
and I am inclined to believe it was the Mercury.

DOMINICA.

The Freeport Gazette ; or, the Dominica Ad-
vertiser.

Was first published in 1765, at Roseau, by William Smith.
It had the king's arms in the title ; and was printed weekly,
on Saturday, on a fools-cap sheet, and with new long primer
and small pica types.

In 1767, Smith printed The Shipwreck, " a poem in three
parts : By a Sailor, addressed to his Royal Highness the
Duke of York. Price Two Dollars."

In 1775, a newspaper was published in English and
French, by Jones.

GRANADA.

The Royal Granada Gazette.

This paper first appeared at Georgetown in January,
1765, on a crown sheet, folio, printed with new small pica
and long primer types, by William Weyland, " at the New
Printing-Oflice." It was published on Saturday and had
a cut of the king's arms in the title.

There were two printing houses on this island, and one
of them was established some years before Weyland's.

ST. CROIX.

The Royal Danish American Gazette.

Was issued from the press at Christiansted before 1770.
Printing was not introduced into this island long before the
publication of the paper.

194 History of Printing in America.

BERMUDA.

The Bermuda Gazette.

Was not published until July 1784 ; but a printing house
had a short time before been established at St. George, by
J. Stockdale.

BAHAMA ISLANDS.

The Royal Bahama Gazette.

I have introduced this paper, although it was not esta-
blished till after peace took place on the American conti-
nent, in 1783, in order to conclude the account of John
"Wells, the editor of it, who has been mentioned as a printer
in South Carolina, who fled from Charleston when the
British army evacuated that city.

This paper was printed at Nassau, New Providence.

Wells was not contented to remain on the island ; but
had a strong desire to return to the continent, and had
attempted several schemes to effect that purpose which
proved unsuccessful. He was still endeavoring to arrange
his business in such a manner as to permit him to revisit
his native country, which he had left with great reluctance,
when he was summoned to the world of spirits.

He married at Nassau, and was highly esteemed for his
many amiable qualities.

FRENCH ISLANDS.

PORT AU PRINCE.

A commercial Gazette was published here by permission,
before the revolution in France, or that on the island. In
1790, the paper was published by Bourdon, Printer to
the King."

Note. In 1804, the prefect of Guadaloupe forbade all American captain
under the penalty of $200, to introduce into that colony, any newspapers,
gazettes, or proclamations, from any part of the world whatsoever. — M.

CAPE FRANgOIS.

A public paper, containing marine intelligence, the
orders of government, etc., was published at the royal
press at the Cape. When its publication commenced I
cannot say, but it was continued in 1790, by permission of
the municipality.

MARTINICO.

" Gazette de la Martinique" commenced its publication in
December, 1784. It was printed at St. Pierre, by Pierre
Richard, by the permission of government.

At the commencement of the revolution in France,
presses under no control were set up, not only in the
mother country, but in her colonies, from which were is-
sued public journals of various kinds. The following ap-
peared at Martinico, viz :

Safety, and to the Patriotic Society.

Port Royal by P. Richard & La Cadie. These printers then
published the Gazette de Martinique in Saint Pierre.

In Trinity, on this island, in 1792, appeared a public
journal from the press of X. Y. Z.1

Bentley.

SPANISH AMERICA.

The number of gazettes printed in the Spanish provinces
cannot be ascertained. It has been mentioned that a ga-
zette was printed at Mexico early in the eighteenth cen-
tury ;x another was established at Lima, at an early period;
and, it has likewise been remarked that a press was long
since set up in the Spanish part of Saint Domingo,2 &c.

In May 1807, a printing house was opened with much
ceremony at Montevideo, on the river La Plata, in South
America, when it was in the possession of the British fleet
and army. The first printing performed at the press in
that place was the prospectus of a gazette. The com-
mander in chief, the admiral, and other principal officers
of the province were present. The first sheet from the
press was presented to the governor, the second to the ad-
miral, and so on according to their rank. "William Scollay,
a young gentleman from Boston, educated at the university
of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was appointed conductor of
the press and the editor of the gazette, for which he re-
ceived a very liberal salary.3

A few years later, presses were established, and gazettes
published under the control of government, in most of the
principal cities of Spain, in America, both on the continent
and on the islands. A number of presses, issuing pub-
lic journals, were also introduced by the revolutionists in

the interior of the extensive territories of Spain on this
continent.

CUBA.

Three public papers are now (1810) published at Ha-
vana, on this island, weekly, under the titles following :

El Aviso de la Habana, Papel Periodico, Literario-Eco-
nomico. Aurora, Correo Politico-Economico de la Ha-
bana. Mensagero, Politico Economico-Literario de la
Habana.

These, like the Spanish and Portuguese gazettes of Eu-
rope, are in small quarto, and commonly on half a sheet of
pot or crown paper. See Appendix N.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

From the foregoing statement it appears that, from the
time when the first public journal was published in the
country, viz. in April, 1704, to April 1775, comprising a
period of seventy-one years, seventy-eight different news-
papers were printed in the British American continental
colonies ; that during this period, thirty-nine, exactly one-
half of that number, had been, occasionally, discontinued ;
and that thirty-nine continued to be issued from the seve-
ral establishments at the commencement of the revolution.
The papers published in the West Indies are not included
in this computation.

In the course of thirty-five years, newspaper establish-
ments were, as previously remarked, multiplied in a sur-
prising degree ; insomuch, that the number of those printed
in the United States in June, 1810, amounted to upwards
of three hundred and sixty, as will appear by a list of them
in the appendix.

A large proportion of the public papers at that date
were established, and supported, by the two great con-
tending political parties, into which the people of these
states are usually divided ; and whose numbers produce
nearly an equipollence ; consequently, a great augmenta-
tion of vehicles for carrying on the political warfare have
been found necessary.

I cannot conclude what I have written on the subject of
public journals, better than by extracting the following

200 History of Printing in America.

pertinent observations on newspapers, from the Rev. Dr.
Miller's Retrospect of the Eighteenth Century.

" It is worthy of remark that newspapers have almost
entirely changed their form and character within the
period under review.1 For a long time after they were
first adopted as a medium of communication to the public,
they were confined, in general, to the mere statement of
facts. But they have gradually assumed an office more
extensive, and risen to a more important station in society.
They have become the vehicles of discussion, in which the
principles of government, the interests of nations, the
spirit and tendency of public measures, and the public and
private characters of individuals, are all arraigned, tried,
and decided. Instead, therefore, of being considered now,
as they once were, of small moment in society, they have
become immense moral and political engines, closely con-
nected with the welfare of the state, and deeply involving
both its peace and prosperity.

" Newspapers have also become important in a literary
view. There are few of them, within the last twenty
years, which have not added to their political details some
curious and useful information, on the various subjects of
literature, science and art. They have thus become the
means of conveying, to every class in society, innumerable
scraps of knowledge, which have at once increased the
public intelligence, and extended the taste for perusing
periodical publications. The advertisements, moreover,
which they daily contain, respecting new books, projects,
inventions, discoveries and improvements, are well calcu-
lated to enlarge and enlighten the public mind, and are
worthy of being enumerated among the many methods of
awakening and maintaining the popular attention, with

1 The eighteenth century.

Newspapers. — General Observations. 201

which more modern times, beyond all preceding example,
abound.

"In ancient times, to sow the, seeds of civil discord, or
to produce a spirit of union and co-operation through an
extensive community, required time, patience, and a con-
stant series of exertions. The art of printing being un-
known, and many of the modern methods of communi-
cating intelligence to distant places not having come into
use, the difficulty of conducting public affairs must have
been great and embarrassing. The general circulation of
Gazettes forms an important era, not only in the moral and
literary, but also in the political world. By means of this
powerful instrument, impressions on the public mind may
be made with a celerity, and to an extent, .of which our
remote ancestors had no conception, and which cannot but
give rise to the most important consequences in society.
Never was there given to man a political engine of greater
power ; and never, assuredly, did this engine before operate
upon so large a scale as in the eighteenth century.

" Our own country in particular, and especially for the
last twelve or fifteen years, has exhibited a spectacle never
before displayed among men, and even yet without a paral-
lel on earth. It is the spectacTe, not of the learned and
the wealthy only, but of the great body of the people ;
even a large portion of that class of the community which
is destined to daily labor, having free and constant access
to public prints, receiving regular information of every
occurrence, attending to the course of political affairs, dis-
cussing public measures, and having thus presented to
them constant excitements to the acquisition of knowledge,
and continual means of obtaining it. Never, it may be
safely asserted, was the number of political journals so
great in proportion to the population of a country as at
present in ours. Never were they, all things considered,
so cheap, so universally diffused, and so easy of access."

202 History of Printing in America.

And never were they actually perused by so large a
majority of all classes since the art of printing was dis-
covered.1

" The general effect of this unprecedented multiplica-
tion and diffusion of public prints, forms a subject of most
interesting and complex calculation. On the one hand,
when well conducted, they have a tendency to disseminate
useful information ; to keep the public mind awake and
active; to confirm and extend the love of freedom; to
correct the mistakes of the ignorant, and the impositions
of the crafty ; to tear off the mask from corrupt anol de-
signing politicians ; and, finally, to promote union of spirit
and of action among the most distant members of an ex-
tended community. But to pursue a path calculated to
produce these effects, the conductors of public prints ought
to be men of talents, learning, and virtue. Under the
guidance of such characters, every Gazette would be a
source of moral and political instruction, and, of course, a
public blessing.

" On the other hand, when an instrument so potent is
committed to the weak, the ignorant, and the vicious, the
most baneful consequences must be anticipated. When
men of small talents, of' little information, and of less
virtue, undertake to be (as the editors of public gazettes,
however contemptible their character may, in a degree, be
considered) the directors of public opinion, what must be
the result ? "We may expect to see the frivolities of weak-
ness, the errors and malignity of prejudice, the misrepre-
sentations of party zeal, the most corrupt doctrines in
politics and morals, the lacerations of private character,

1 " The extreme cheapness with which newspapers are conveyed by
the mail, in the United States, added to the circumstance of their being
altogether unincumbered with a stamp duty, or any other public restric-
tion, renders their circulation more convenient and general than in any
other country."

Newspapers. — General Observations. 203

and the poluting language of obscenity and impiety, daily
issuing from the press, poisoning the principles, and dis-
turbing the repose of society ; giving to the natural and
salutary collisions of parties the most brutal violence and
ferocity ; and, at length, consuming the best feelings and
noblest charities of life, in the flame of civil discord.

" In the former part of the eighteenth century, talents
and learning, at least, if not virtue, were thought necessary
in the conductors of political journals.1 Few ventured to
intrude into this arduous office, but those who had some
claims to literature. Towards the close of the century,
however, persons of less character, and of humbler qualifi-
cations, began, without scruple, to undertake the high task
of enlightening the public mind. This remark applies, in
some degree, to Europe ; but it applies with particular
force to our own country, where every judicious observer
must perceive, that too many of our gazettes are in the
hands of persons destitute at once of the urbanity of gen-
tlemen, the information of scholars, and the principles of
virtue. To this source, rather than to any peculiar de-
pravity of national character, we may ascribe the faults of

1 " This has not been, generally, so much the case in America as in
Europe. From the earliest period too many of our Gazettes have been in
the hands of persons who were destitute both of talents and literature.
But in later times, the number of editors who fall under this description
has become even greater than formerly."

OBSERVATION.

There are few instances in which I would presume to differ with the
ingenious author of these remarks, in opinion ; but, on this oocasion, I
must be allowed to observe, that I conceive there are among the men
who conduct the public journals of America, many, whose literary ac-
quirements are not inferior to those of their predecessors. The great
difficulty proceeds from the rage of party spirit, which is kept alive by
the frequency of elections, in which the conductors of newspapers engage
as partizans ; and some of them, it is true, as is also the case in Great
Britain, display a greater degree of asperity and opprobriousness than
can be justified, which must be a subject of regret to those who are truly
interested in the welfare of the country.

204 History of Printing in America.

American newspapers, which have been pronounced by
travellers the most profligate and scurrilous public prints
in the civilized world.1

" If the foregoing remarks be just, then the friend of
rational freedom, and of social happiness, cannot but con-
template with the utmost solicitude, the future influence
of political journals on the welfare of society. As they
form one of the great safeguards of free government, so
they also form one of its most threatening assailants. And
unless public opinion (the best remedy that can be applied)
should administer an adequate correction of the growing
evil, we may anticipate the arrival of that crisis in which
we must yield either to an abridgment of the liberty of the
press, or to a disruption of every social bond."2

1 " These considerations, it is conceived, are abundantly sufficient to
account for the disagreeable character of American newspapers. In
every country the selfish principle prompts men to defame their personal
and political enemies ; and where the supposed provocations to this are
numerous, and no restraints are imposed on the indulgence of the dispo-
sition, an inundation of filth and calumny must be expected. In the
United States, the frequency of elections leads to a corresponding fre-
quency of struggle between political parties ; these struggles naturally
engender mischievous passions, and every species of coarse invective ;
and, unhappily, too many of the conductors of our public prints have
neither the discernment, the firmness, nor the virtue to reject from their
pages the foul ebullitions of prejudice and malice. Had they more dili-
gence, or greater talents, they might render their gazettes interesting, by
filling them with materials of a more instructive and dignified kind ; but
wanting these qualifications, they must give such materials, accompanied
with such a seasoning, as circumstances furnish. Of what kind these are
no one is ignorant."

than they were in 1810. — H.

The dates of the years which precede the names of the booksellers, spe-
cify the earliest periods when they are known to have been in business.
The precise time could not, in all cases, be ascertained.

BOSTON.

1652. Hezekiah Usher, was the first bookseller in Eng-
lish America of whom I can find any account. Books
formed a proportion of his stock in trade ; and the first
works which were published in this country were printed
for him. Of these an edition of the New England version
of the Psalms, small 12mo, to bind up with Bibles, claims
the precedence. The imprint to that book is, " Cambridge,
Printed for Hezekiah Usher, of Boston." The date and
the name of the printer are omitted ; but I have no doubt
the book had gone through three or four editions, as early
as the year 1652.

Soon after the settlement of some parts of America, a
corporation was established in England for propagating
the gospel among the Indians in New England ; and Usher1

!ln 1692, a respectable man whose name was Hezekiah Usher, was ac-
cused of witchcraft, in consequence of which accusation he was ordered
to be confined in the common prison ; but on account of the goodness of
his character, he was, by connivance, allowed to secrete himself in the
house of a friend ; and, afterwards to escape out of the hands of his per-
secutors, until the delusion or madness of the times, in part, subsided, and
reason restored the balm of tranquility to the public mind. The person
so accused was, probably, the bookseller, or one of his sons. See Brattle's
Letter, Mass. Hist. Coll., 1st vol. — H.

206 History of Printing in America.

was agent for managing the pecuniary concerns between
the corporation and the commissioners of the United colo-
nies in New England. He procured the types, paper, &c,
and managed the transactions relating to printing the
Bible in the Indian language, which was in the press from
1660 to 1663. Besides bookselling, he conducted a com-
mercial establishment, and acquired considerable property.

1672. John Usher, the son of Hezekiah. In 1672 an
edition of the laws, revised and alphabetically arranged,
was printed by S. Green, in Cambridge, for John Usher in
Boston. I have seen several books printed for him since
that time.

An English bookseller, who was an author, and resided
some time in Boston,1 wrote thus concerning John Usher.
" This Trader makes the best figure in Boston ; he's very
Rich, adventures much to Sea ; but has got his estate by
Book-Selling; he proposed to me the buying of my whole
Venture,2 but would not agree to my Terms ; and so we
parted with a great deal of seeming respect."

John Usher was treasurer of the province when Sir Ed-
mund Andros was governor. He was employed by the
government of Massachusetts, when he was in England, to
purchase the province of Maine from the heirs of Sir Fer-
dinando Gorges. In 1683, he became lieutenant governor
of New Hampshire, which office he retained some years ;
but, during the time he resided chiefly in Boston, and
carried on his business as usual. "He was a man of un-
polished manners, severe in the execution of his office, was
but little of a statesman, and less of a courtier,3 and became
so odious to the people, that they prevailed on the king
and council to remove him." He had a seat at Charles-

town at which he resided after he retired from business,
anno 1700.

1673. Edmund Ranger, was a binder; but had some
small concern in bookselling.

1679. "William Avery, " Wear the Blue- Anchor." I
have found but few books printed for him.

1680. Samuel Phillips, "At the Brick-Shop at the
West-End of the Town-House." Considering the infant
state of the settlement, he was a large dealer in books ;
many of which were consigned to him by Dunton, who
was his factor in London. He published several books
which were printed in Boston.

Dunton mentions Phillips as his " old correspondent ;"
and observes further, "On visiting him in Boston, he
treated me with a noble Dinner, and (if I may trust my
Eyes) is blest with a pretty, obliging Wife ; I'll say that
for Sam (after dealing with him for some Hundred Pounds)
he's very just, and (as an Effect of that) very Thriving. I
shall only add to his Character, that he's Young and
Witty, and the most Beautiful Man in the Town of Boston."
He died in October 1720, aged 58 ; and was characterized
in the Boston Gazette, as " an exemplary Christian, an in-
dulgent husband, a kind father and a true friend."

The descendants of Samuel Phillips continued the book-
selling business in Cornhill, till after the revolution. They
traced in English goods also, as was customary with the
booksellers in Boston for a century after the town was first
settled.

1682. John Ratcliffe did but little work as a book-
seller; but I have discovered a few pamphlets which were
printed for him.

1682. Samuel Sewall, was a bookseller, although not
bred to the trade. He was appointed by the government
to the office of a magistrate ; and, in 1681, was made con-

208 History of Printing in America.

ductor of the press in Boston, with permission to carry on
printing in that town.1

1682. John Griffin. I have seen only two books printed
for him, and one for him and John Ratcliffe.

1684. Richard Wilkins, " Near the Town-House."
He had been a bookseller at Limerick, in Ireland, but
came to ISTew England as an asylum from religious perse-
cution, and settled in Boston.

Dunton gives the following description of him : " His
Person is Tall, his Aspect Sweet and Smiling, and tho' but
Fifty Years old [in 1686 2] his Hair is as White as Snow.
He is a Person of good Sense, keeps up the Practice of
Religion in his Family, and (upon a Nice Search into all
his Affairs) I found it had a General Influence on all the
Actions of his Life : He was deservedly chosen a Member
of Mr. Willard's Church, and I think he's a Pious Man, if
there's such a Thing in Boston." He died at Milton,
December 10, 1704, aged 81, and was buried in Boston.

Dunton gives the characters of AVilkins's wife and
daughter, who were very amiable and accomplished
women. During the eight months that Dunton carried on
bookselling in Boston, he boarded with Wilkins, who did
considerable business. When Dunton left that place, he
empowered Wilkins to collect such debts as were due to
him there.

1684. Joseph Brunning, alias Browning, "At the
Corner of Prison-Lane," now Court street, in Cornhill, was
from Amsterdam ; he wrote his name Brunning, or
Browning, at pleasure. He traded largely and published
many books, the imprints in which are indifferently spelled
Brunning or Browning ; one of these being the Dutch, the
other the English way of writing his name.

1 This was the celebrated Chief Justice. See vol. i, pp. 86-7. — II.

2 This statement of Dunton is not altogether correct ; Wilkins was then
(i:! years old.

Booksellers. — Massachusetts. 209

Dunton mentions him in a very handsome manner. In
describing his visits to the various booksellers in Boston,
after his arrival there in 1686, he thus characterizes Brun-
ning : " I rambled next to visit Minheer Brunning, he's a
Dutch bookseller from Holland, scrupulously just, plain in
his cloaths, and if we will believe the Printers in Boston
(who are notable Criticks in such cases) a most excellent
Paymaster. Brunning is vers'd in the Knowledge of all
sorts of Books, and may well be stil'd a Complet Book-
seller. He never decries a Book because 'tis not of his
own printing; there are some Men that will run down
the most Elaborate Pieces, only because they had none of
their Midwifery to bring 'em into public view, and yet
shall give the greatest Encomiums to the most Nauseous
Trash, when they had the hap to be concerned in it. But
Brunning was none of these ; for he'd promote a good
Book whoever printed it ; and I found him a Man of that
great Interest, that I made him my Partner in printing
Mr. Mather's Sermon, preached at the Execution of
Morgan, who was the only person executed in that
Country for near Seven years."1

1684. Duncan Campbell, " At the Dock-Head over
against the Conduit," was from Glasgow, and was, proba-
bly, the father of John Campbell who, in 1704, was post
master in Boston, and the proprietor of the first news-
paper which was published in the English American

colonies.2

Dunton mentions Campbell by name, as " the Scotch
Bookseller," and says, " he is very industrious, dresses
a la mode, and I'm told, a Young Lady of Great Fortune,
is fal'n in love with him."

1685. Andrew Thorncomb, from London; he was a
bookseller in that city. I believe he, like many others for

lDuntoris Life and Errors. 2 Ibid

some years after the settlement of Boston, came over with
a quantity of books on speculation, and having sold them,
perhaps the greater part by wholesale, returned to Europe.

Dunton writes that he was acquainted with Thorncomb
in New England, and mentions that " his Company was
Coveted by the best Gentlemen in Boston, nor is he less
acceptable to the Fair Sex ; for he has something in him
so extremely charming as makes 'em very fond of his Com-
pany. However he's a vertuous Person, and deserves all
the respect they shew'd him."

1686. James Cowse. I have seen only one book printed
for him namely " The Church of Rome, evidently proved
Heretick."

1686. John Dunton, was born at Graffham, Hunting-
donshire, in England; his father was fellow of Trinity
College, Cambridge, and rector of Graff ham.

Dunton was brought up to the bookselling business in
London ; where he entered extensively into the trade ; and
in the course of time became a very considerable publish-
ing bookseller. He had a general correspondence with the
booksellers of England, Scotland, Ireland and Boston. But
fortune did not always smile on Dunton. He lost a large
sum through becoming surety for his brother-in-law, and
was a great sufferer by the troubles of England in 1685 ;
insomuch that his circumstances became embarrassed.

On the death of Charles II, James H, his brother, as-
cended the throne of England ; who being a great enemy
to the duke of Monmouth, the natural son of Charles H,
caused him to be expelled from Holland, by the prince of
Orange ; and was the occasion of his being persecuted in
Brussels. Being a favorite with the people, Monmouth
was stimulated by that consideration, and by a principle of
revenge, to make an attempt to dethrone James, and place
the crown of England on his own head. He landed in
England, raised a small army, which was defeated, and

Booksellers. — Massachusetts. 211

he was beheaded in consequence of this rebellion. His
adherents fled ; and Dunton, being one of these fugitives,
escaped to Boston, where the sum of five hundred pounds
sterling — a considerable object in the deranged state of
his circumstances — was due to him; and his design in
going there was to collect his debts. The management of
his affairs in London he intrusted to his wife, who, accord-
ing to his own account, was a most excellent woman, and
'he had a great affection for her. He embarked on board a
ship then lying at Gravesend, and took with him books
suitable for the Boston market to a large amount. He put
others to the value of five hundred pounds sterling onboard
another vessel, destined to the same port. The ships were
overtaken by foul weather, before they cleared the British
channel. That which bore the consignment was lost, but
the other, in which Dunton had embarked, weathered the
storm. After a tedious passage of more than four months
duration he arrived in Boston. Dunton had taken the pre-
caution of procuring letters of recommendation to the most
eminent clergymen in Massachusetts, and to the principal
gentlemen in Boston ; in consequence of which he was
kindly received and politely treated on his arrival. He
procured a warehouse where he exposed his books for sale,
and found a good market for them. At the expiration of
seven or eight months he had a considerable number of
books unsold ; but he opened a store in Salem, where he
soon disposed of the same.

During Dunton's residence in Boston, he visited the
governor, lieutenant governor, the principal magistrates,
&c, and dined with them in the town hall, on the day
of election. He paid his respects to all the clergy, in
and about Boston, Dr. Increase Mather, the Rev. Cotton
Mather, Messrs. "Willard, Allen, Eliot, Higginson, of Salem,
and many other ministers. Dr. Mather he calls the " me-
tropolitan clergyman of the country." "When he had sold

212 History of Printing in America.

off his books, he took leave of his friends, and returned
to England.

On his arrival there he was apprehensive of a prosecution,
for which reason, after remaining some time incognito, he
went to Holland, Germany and Ireland. A revolution
having been effected in England, in 1688, Dunton returned
to London, and recommenced business on the very day the
Prince of Orange arrived in that city. Dunton again
launched forth into extensive business; and published
many works, among which were some that were periodicals
The Athenian Gazette, which was afterwards denominated
The Athenian Mercury, was continued several years, and
the editors of it, among whom Dunton was the prin-
cipal, were highly complimented in poetical and prosaic
essays, by Gildon, Motteux, De Foe, Richardson, and the
celebrated poet laureat, N. Tate, who was concerned in a
version of the Psalms, which is well known in America.
His other periodical works were The Post-Angell, and The
Night Walker.

As a kind of drawback on Dunton's fame, I ought,
perhaps, candidly to mention that he had the misfortune
to be introduced into Pope's Dunciad,1 where the present
of the goddess Dulness to Curl is represented as

" A shaggy tapestry, worthy to be spread
On Codrus' old, or Dunton's modem bed."

The note of the Scriblerus Club, on this passage, runs
thus, " John Dunton was a broken bookseller, and abusive
scribler ; he writ Neck or Nothing, a violent satire on some
ministers of state; a libel on the duke of Devonshire, and.
the bishop of Peterborough, &c."

Injustice to Dunton I must observe, that this severity
was, perhaps, wholly unmerited, and produced solely by
a difference of opinion ; as the works which the club calls

libels might be strictly conformable to truth, and probably
met the applause of those who thought like Dunton.

Duriug his second run of business Dunton lost his wife ;
and married another, whose fortune, though considerable,
was not payable till a younger brother came of age. After
ten years of success in business, the tide again turned, and
through losses in trade, and other misfortunes, Dunton
again became embarrassed. On this occasion he pressed
his wife's mother to enable him to pay his debts, but
could not prevail, although he thought to enforce compli-
ance, by abstaining from the usual intercourse with his
wife. To these means he added entreaty and argument ;
but they proved equally ineffectual ; and Dunton, who
formerly wrote for profit and fame, was now obliged to
write for his daily subsistence. At this period, anno 1705,
he published The Life and Errors of John Dunton, late
Citizen of London ; Written by Himself in Solitude. He gives
an account of his voyage to Boston, of his business there,
and of his travels in Holland and Germany. He charac-
terizes upwards of a thousand persons then living, among
whom were the booksellers of most note in Boston, many
of the clergy and other eminent persons he visited, or with
whom he was acquainted, together with several of his
male and female customers, in and about " the metropolis
of New England;" after which he proceeds to the authors
for whom he published, all the printers, binders, engravers
on wood and copper, whom he had employed, and the
company of stationers in London ; and, he concludes with
the most conspicuous of his London customers. He was
an adept in writing of this kind, and appeared to engage
in it with peculiar pleasure and ease. In this work there
is a singular mixture of humor, anecdote and religion, and
it is, perhaps, a true picture of the mind and disposition of
the author. At the conclusion of it he observes, " could
I not compose a few sheets for the press, I might now

starve ; but it is well known that in the course of a few
years I shall be able to pay all I owe to a half farthing."

Dunton had a patent from king "William and queen
Mary, for the sole printing and publishing an English
translation of The History of the Edict of Nantz, in four
volumes. During the life of his first wife he made a will,
and appointed her sole executrix, and desired her to bury
him the seventh day after his death, and not before, lest he
should come to life, as his mother had done on the day
appointed for her funeral. This circumstance, respecting
his mother, he relates at the beginning of his Life, &c.
Having been sick, she, to all appearance, died. "After
lying three days, her friends were about to put her into a
Coffin for interment, when to their astonishment she
revived from the trance in which she had fallen, and was
thus mercifully restored ; in a year after she dy'd in
earnest."

Dunton was a man of a singular character. He appears
to have been a complete, enterprising bookseller ; and was
sensible, humorous and religious.

1690. Nicholas Buttolph, " Next to Guttridge's Coffee-
House."

I have discovered many books which were printed for
him. He carried on business about fifty years, and waa a
man of respectability. On the 29th of January, 1737, he
died, considerably advanced in years.

1690. Benjamin Elliott, " Under the Exchange, Head
of King-Street." He was largely concerned in publishing
books, among which were the laws of the general court ;
and he was a noted dealer in books which were printed in
Boston. He was about fifty years in business ; and died
November 9, 1741, aged seventy-six years.

1690. Benjamin Harris, had a bookstore " at the Lon-
don Coffee-House," two or three years; but removed to

Booksellers. — Massachusetts. 215

" The Sign of the Bible over against the Blew- Anchor,
Cornhill."

He had been a bookseller and printer in London, and he
printed and published several books during his residence
in Boston ; 1 where he remained five or six years. He re-
turned to England, and followed printing and bookselling
in London.

1690, Obadiah Gill, was but little known as a dealer in
books. I have seen only two pamphlets which were printed
for him.

1690. James "Wade. I have found a few pamphlets with
the imprint, " Boston, Printed for James Wade," which is
all the intelligence I can procure concerning him.

1695. Michael Perry, " under the West-End of the
Town House," 2 was a publisher as well as a vender of
books, and did considerable business.

1695. Vavasour Harris, " opposite the Old Meeting-
House, in Cornhill," was a short time in the business.

1699. Elkanah Pembroke, " near the Head of the Dock."

1700. Samuel Sewall, junior, was the son of Samuel
Sewall, who was appointed conductor of the press, and was
authorized to print in Boston. I do not find that he was
largely in trade.

1701. Nicholas Boone, " at the Bible in Cornhill." In
1704, when The Boston News-Letter made its first ap-
pearance, it was printed by B. Green, and published by
Boone, for John Campbell, the proprietor of it, who was
postmaster.

Boone was an eminent bookseller, and many books,
written in America, were published by him.

1711. Eleazar Phillips, " at the Sign of the Eagle in
Newbury Street," afterwards " at the Lower-End of King

216 History of Printing in America.

Street;" and, in 1715, he removed to Charlestown, near
Boston. He was the only bookseller who had settled in
that town prior to the revolution ; but never embarked
largely in trade. One of his sons established the first press
in South Carolina ; and died there in 1732, soon after he
began printing. Some time after the death of his son,
Phillips went to Carolina : and after remaining there a few
months he returned to his business in Massachusetts.

In 1750, Phillips published in the Boston Evening-Post,
a short address to the public, in which he recommended
the raising of silk worms in New England. He stated that
when he resided in Carolina, he was informed by a silk
weaver that " only one crop " could be raised there in a
year ; that he had made an experiment with eggs which he
brought from Philadelphia, and found that he could raise
two crops, annually, in New England. The advantage
he attributed to the climate, which he supposed was more
favorable to the growth of the mulberry, than that of South
Carolina, which he thought too warm to produce food so
nutricious and congenial to worms as that raised in more
temperate regions. Where vegetation is less rapid, and
the leaves longer in coming to maturity, they do not ripen
and decay so speedily as in Carolina. His advice does
not appear to have been regarded.

Phillips lived to the age of upwards of seventy-five
years.

1712. Joanna Perry, " King-Street, near the Town-
House." She was the widow of Michael Perry, and after
his death continued the business several years. Some
pamphlets were printed for her. She died September 19,
1725.

1712. Samuel Gerrish, " at the Sign of the Buck in
Marlborough-Street," but in 1716, "North Side of the
Town-House." He published a number of small books,
and seems to have carried on considerable trade.

Booksellers. — Massachusetts. 217

1713. Daniel Henchman, " Cornhill, Corner of King-
Street, opposite to the Old Brick-Meeting-House."

Henchman was the most eminent and enterprising book-
seller that appeared in Boston, or, indeed, in all British
America, before the year 1775. He furnished much em-
ployment for the presses in Boston; and'« several books
were printed for him in London, which were sent over in
sheets. He was principally concerned in an edition of the
Bible, and another of the New Testament, which were
printed privately in Boston.1 Henchman built the first
paper mill in New England ; in doing which he received
aid from the legislature of Massachusetts. During his
long connexion with the trade he acquired a handsome
estate. He was made a justice of the peace; a lieutenant
colonel of the Boston regiment of militia ; and, finally,
was made a deacon of the Old South church. He died
February 25, 1761, aged seventy-two years.

1715. George Brownell, lived at " the North End,"
and advertised that he taught " Writing, Cyphering,
Navigation, also Musick and Dancing." And he sold
books also. I have seen an Almanack which was printed
for him ; but he was very little known as a bookseller.
He removed to Philadelphia.

1717. Gillam Phillips, " over against the West-End of
the Town-House." He was neither largely nor long in
the trade. I have seen only two small works printed for
him. A considerable fortune was left to him, and he
retired from business. He died October 18, 1770, aged
seventy-five years.

1719. Benjamin Gray, at the " Head of Town-Dock,"
published several books, among which was a pamphlet, the
publication whereof brought on him a prosecution on

the part of the government, as appears by the following
record of the proceedings of the council, viz. :

"At a Council Held at the Council-Chamber, in Boston,
on Thursday the 28th day of February, 1720 [i. e. 1721,
new style.]

"A pamphlet, entituled, a letter to an Eminent Clergy-
Man in the Massachusetts-Bay ; being produced at the
Board, was Read and considered, and Unanimously Voted,
That it contains in it many Vile, Scandalous, and very
Abusive Expressions, which greatly reflect on His Majesty's
Government and People of this Province, and tend to dis-
turb the Publick Peace.

"At the same time Benj. Gray of Boston, Bookseller,
who Sold the said Pamphlet, being Sent for, Acknowledged
that he had caused the same to be Printed, And that the
Original in manuscript was delivered to him by an un-
known Hand, upon Saturday the Eighth Currant, at Nine
a Clock at Night.

" Advised, That the Attorney-General be directed to
Prosecute in the Law, the said Benj. Gray, or any other
Person that may have been concerned in the making or
Publishing the said Pamphlet.

" Resolved, That the foregoing Votes be printed in the
Weekly Papers. M j mUard^ gecr „

I am not perfectly acquainted with the result of this
affair, but I believe it was terminated by a compromise.

Gray, though not a very considerable bookseller, was
many years in trade, and worked at bookbinding. He
died January 7, 1751.

1719. John Edwards, " King-Street." I can learn but
little respecting him, further than that he published a few
books.

1720. Robert Starkey, " Fleet-Street," was from Lon-
don. Whilst in business in that city, he published a book

Booksellers. — Massachusetts. 219

containing reflections on the British government; and fled
to Holland to avoid a prosecution. After the prince of
Orange ascended the English throne he returned to Eng-
land, and continued his business in London several years ;
he also made a voyage to Boston ; but did not go largely
into trade there. How long he remained in New England
I cannot ascertain. It is said he was a man who possessed
much information, and was a zealous asserter of English
liberty.

1723. Joseph Edwards, " Cornhill," was a very respecta-
ble, and a considerable publisher, bookseller and binder.
He continued in business more than forty years.

1723. Nathaniel Belknap, " Head of Scarlet's Wharf,
North End." He bound books, but did not go largely
into the sale of them. Some small pamphlets were pub-
lished by him.

In April, 1730, he published in the Boston papers the
following advertisement : " To be Sold, Choice black Mold
for Gardens, &c. at a very reasonable rate, By Mr. Nath.
Belknap, Bookseller, at the North-End of Boston."

1723. Samuel Robinson, was born in Dorchester, and
served his apprenticeship with Boone. He sold some
books, but his principal business was that of a binder. He
died at the age of eighty-five years, in February, 1771.

1724. John Checkley, was I believe, an Englishman,
and of the high church party. He published and sold a
pamphlet, containing 132 pages, octavo, entitled " A Short
and Easie Method with the Deists. Wherein the certainty
of the Christian Religion is demonstrated, by infallible
Proof from Four Rules, which are incompatible to any
Imposture that ever yet has been, or that com possibly be."
The imprint to the book was, " Printed in London, by J.
Applebee, and sold by John Checkley at the Sign of the
Crown and Blue- Gate, over-against the West-End of the
Town-House, in Boston, 1723." Checkley was prosecuted

220 History of Printing in America.

at the inferior court in Boston, anno 1724, for publishing
and selling this pamphlet, which was called " a false and
scandalous libel, tending to draw into dispute his present
majesty's title to the crown — scandalizing the ministers of
the gospel, established by law in this province — falsifying
the Holy Scriptures — representing the church of Rome as
the present mother church ; and tending to raise divisions,
jealousies, and animosities, among his majesty's loving
subjects of this province." Checkley was convicted, and
appealed to the superior court, in which the jury gave the
following verdict :

" The Jury find Specially, viz. If the Book entituled
a Short and Easy Method with the Deists, containing in it
a Discourse concerning Episcopacy, (published, and many
of them sold by the said Checkley) be a false and scan-
dalous libel ; Then we find the said Checkley guilty of all
and every Part of the Indictment (excepting that supposed
to traduce and draw into dispute the undoubted Right
and Title of our Sovereign Lord, King George, to the
Kingdoms of Great-Britain and Ireland, and the territo-
ries thereto belonging.) Bat if the said Book, containing
a discourse concerning Episcopacy, as aforesaid, be not a
false and scandalous Libel ; Then we find him not guilty.

"Att*- Samuel Tyley, Clerk."

An able plea in arrest of judgment, was made by his
counsel ; after which Checkley addressed the court, and
in the same handsome manner and style in which he had
before addressed the court and jury, he maintained that
the church of England, as established in England, and no
other, was established in all his majesty's plantations —
that no minister was lawfully appointed, but he who was
ordained by a bishop — and he gave it as his opinion, that
presbyterian and congregational ministers, so called, were
no ministers, and that they and their congregations were

schismatics, and excommunicated by the laws of the land ;
or rather by the canons of the church of England, which he
said were a part of the laws of the land. The sentence of
the court was as follows :

" The Court having maturely advised on this Special
Verdict, are of Opinion that the said John Checkley is
guilty of publishing and selling of a false and scandalous
Libel. It's therefore considered by the Court, that the
said John Checkley shall pay a Fine of Fifty Pounds to
the King, and enter into Recognizance in the sum of One
Hundred Pounds, with two Sureties in the Sum of Fifty
Pounds each, for his good Behaviour for six Months, and
also pay costs of prosecution, standing committed until
this Sentence be performed.

"Att1- Samuel Tyley, Clerk."

Checkley paid the fine and costs of court the next day,
according to the sentence, and was discharged. Sometime
after he went to England, and there received episcopal
ordination. He returned to New England; was many
years rector of St. John's church in Providence; and was
highly esteemed for his learning and many amiable quali-
fications. Whether he was a regular bookseller or not, I
am not prepared to say ; I have seen no book printed for
him in America.

1725. John Phillips, " Stationers'-Arms, Corn-Hill,"
was the son of Samuel Phillips, and succeeded him in
business.

Besides a considerable trade as a publishing bookseller
and binder, he was a dealer in English goods, according
to the custom of those times.

During several years, Phillips was engaged in the service
of the public, as a magistrate, a colonel of the Boston mili-
tia, a member of the general court and a deacon of the

222 History of Printing in America

church in Brattle street. He died April 19, 1763. and was
buried with military honors.

1726. Bennet Love, " in Anne-Street, near the Bridge."
His principal business appears to have been binding ; but
some pamphlets were printed for him.

1727. Samuel Kneeland, " in King-Street, next door to
the Post-Office. " He kept a bookstore four or five years
at that place ; but during the remainder of his life he at-
tended wholly to printing.

1726. Thomas Hancock, " Anne-Street, near the Draw-
Bridge ;" was the son of the Rev. John Hancock of Lex-
ington. After being in trade a few years as a bookseller
and binder, he turned his attention to merchandize, in
which pursuit he acquired a very handsome fortune, and
became one of the principal commercial persons in New
England.

In process of time he became a member of the lower
house of assembly, and was afterwards a member of the
council. His disposition was naturally benevolent, and
his religious and political senitments were liberal.

I believe he served his apprenticeship with Daniel
Henchman, whose daughter he married. By his last will
he bequeathed 1000^. sterling to Harvard College, for the
purpose of founding a professorship of the Hebrew and
other oriental languages ; also 7501, sterling to an incor-
porated society for propagating the gospel among the In-
dians, in North America ; and 450£, sterling to the town of
Boston, towards building an hospital for the reception of
lunatics. As he had no children, he bequeathed the greater
part of his estate to his nephew, the late governor John
Hancock. He built the large stone house near the State
House, where he lived ; and after his death it became the
residence of his nephew the governor.

On the 1st of August, 1764, as he was entering the coun-
cil chamber, he was attacked by a fit of apoplexy, and died
in two hours, aged 62.

1727. Nathaniel Proctor, "At the Bible and Dove
in Anne-Street," born in Boston ; was a bookseller and
binder, and published a few pamphlets.

He married a woman who was supposed to have been a
widow; but a short time after his marriage, the former
husband of his wife returned after an absence of ten or
twelve years, and claimed her. This event occasioned
much embarrassment ; but the parties having left the so-
lution of the difficulty to the wife, she decided in favor of
Proctor.

He died suddenly, December 8, 1766.

1728. John Eliot, "At the Great Elms,1 South-End,"
was, said to be a descendant of the Rev. John Eliot, of Rox-
bury, who translated the Bible into the Indian language.

He published a few books, and was, many years, a book-
seller and binder, but his concerns were not extensive.
However, he acquired some property; and being a respect-
able man, was made deacon of the church in Hollis street.
He died, November, 1771, aged 81.

1729. Alford Butler, " Lower-End of King- Street, near
the Crown Coffee-House, at the head of the Long-Wharf."
He was born in Boston, and served his apprenticeship with
Henchman. His principal business was binding, but he
published and sold a few books. He died in 1742, aged 46.

1730. Hopestill Foster, did some business as a book-
seller, but it was very inconsiderable.

1730. Francis Skinner, "At his shop in Fish-Street
near Halsey's "Wharf," afterwards " at Pope's Head, Cor-
ner of Prince-Street," was not long in business nor much
known as a bookseller.

1 One of these elms stood in the yard, fronting Eliot's house, and was
afterwards called The Tree of Liberty, occasioned by the effigy of the
person appointed distributor of the stamps in Boston, and that of lord
Bute, being hung thereon in 1765. This strong method adopted by the
people, of expressing their dislike of the obnoxious stamp act, must have
had an influence in producing that state of the public mind which brought
about the revolution.

224 History of Printing in America.

1731. John Pemberton, " School Street," was born in
Boston. He was the son of the Rev. Mr. Pemberton the
elder; and brother of the Rev. Ebenezer Pemberton, of
the new brick church, formerly so called, in Middle street.
He was an apprentice to Robinson ; but was chiefly em-
ployed in binding. He died about 1759.

1732. Richard Fry, an Englisiiman, resided a few years
in Boston ; and was probably concerned in the paper mill
then lately erected at Milton, which was the only one in
Massachusetts. I cannot ascertain whether Fry ever had
a shop of his own in Boston, or made use of that belonging
to Fleet altogether. The principal discoveries I have made
concerning him are comprised in the following advertise-
ment, which was published in The Rehearsal, May 1732.

" Richard Fry, Stationer, Bookseller, Paper Maker and
Rag Merchant from the city of London, keeps at Mr. Tho.
Fleet's Printer, at the Heart and Crown in Cornhill, Boston ;
where said Fry is ready to accommodate all Gentlemen,
Merchants and Tradesmen, with Setts of Accompt Books
after the neatest Manner. And whereas it has been the
common Method of the most curious Merchants in Boston,
to procure their Books from London. This is to acquaint
those Gentlemen, that I the said Fry will sell all Sorts of
Accompt Books done after the most acute Manner, for
Twenty per Cent cheaper than they can have them from
London. I return the Public Thanks for following the
Directions of my former Advertisement for gathering Rags,
and hope they will Continue the like Method, having re-
ceived upwards of Seven Thousand Weight already.

" For the pleasing Entertainment of the Polite part of
Mankind, I have Printed the most beautiful Poems of Mr.
Stephen Duck, the famous Wiltshire Poet. It is a full
Demonstration to me, that the People of New England
have a fine Taste for good Sense and polite Learning, hav-
ing already Sold 1200 of those Poems.

1733. T. Cox, "At the Lamb, on the South-Side of the
Town-House," was a bookseller from England, who kept
a good supply of English editions, principally of such
books as were valuable, and suitable for the market. He
generally resided in London, and his business was trans-
acted by an agent. He discontinued his bookstore in
Boston, anno 1744 ; and the remains of his stock in trade
were sold by auction.

1733. John Boydell, "In King-Street." He came from
England in 1716, with Governor Shute, to whom he was
Secretary ; and being afterwards appointed postmaster, he
was for many years proprietor and publisher of The
Boston Gazette. Boydell was greatly esteemed. He died
in December, 1739. [See Hist, of Newspapers.]

1735. John Parker, " Head of the Town-Dock," sold
cutlery, groceries, and some books. He died in 1738.

1736. William Gray, " Milk Street."

1736. Michael Dennis, Head of Scarlet's Wharf [after-
wards Hancock's], North-End," was, during several years, a
respectable dealer in books and stationery ; he published
some works, and was concerned in the binding business.
He died July 12, 1763.

173^. Charles Harrison, " Over against the Brazen-
Head in Cornhill," was born, and brought up a book-
binder, in England. He settled in Boston as a bookseller
and binder; and published Erskine's Gospel Sonnets, with
other works of a similar description. He joined the expe-
dition which went from Boston against Louisburg, in 1745,
and died soon after he returned.

1740. Benjamin Eliot, " South End."

1740. Samuel Eliot, " Corn-Hill," published a number
of pamphlets, which were written in New England ; he was
a considerable bookseller, and was also a binder and sta-
tioner. He died May 9, 1745, aged 32. His widow car-

ried on the business ; and his son Samuel Eliot, became
an eminent merchant.

1743. John Eliot, "At the Great Elms," was the son of
John Eliot who for many years did business at the same
place. Some books printed for John Eliot the younger
have this imprint : " for J. Eliot, near the South-Market.1
He lived to an advanced age.

1743. Walter MacAlpine, "Near the Mill-Bridge,"
afterwards " in Union-Street near the Town-Dock." He
was from Scotland, and was a bookseller and binder. He
removed to Connecticut and died there.

1743. Nathaniel Gookin, " Cornhill."

1743. Joshua Blanchard, " Sign of the Bible and Crown
in Dock-Square," was an enterprising but not a successful
bookseller.

Blanchard was one of the original proprietors and pub-
lishers of The American Magazine, which was first pub-
lished in 1743 ; and was concerned in other publications.
He was a dealer in English editions, in stationery, &c, but
finally he confined his trade solely to English goods.

1743. Alexander Carlisle, A Scotchman ; served his
apprenticeship in Glasgow; he came from that place with
a collection of books ; sold them chiefly at auction, and
returned to Scotland.

1745. Daniel Gookin, " Over against the Old-South."
He was a descendant of Gen. Daniel Gookin, one of the
first appointed licensers of the press, anno, 1662.

Gookin was not largely in1 trade ; he died January 3,
1752, after an illness of only two days. I am of opinion
he had a son who was named after him, and succeeded
him in the same shop, which was the next door north of the
house built for the residence of the royal governors, and
now belonging to the state.

1 At that time there were three market houses in Boston ; one near the
Great elms ; one in Dock square, and another in Old North square.

1745. Thomas Rand, " Cornhill, near the sign of the
Three Nuns," afterwards " in Anne-Street." He was by
trade a binder, but sold stationery and some books.

1745. Joshua Winter, "Union-Street," acquired some
property as a bookseller, stationer and binder. Winter
was a very pious, upright man. He died in December,
1761.

1749. John Amory, " Union Street," followed book-
selling and binding a few years ; and was afterwards an
eminent merchant in company with his brother, under the
firm of Jonathan and John Amory.

1753. Thomas Leverett, " Cornhill/' was a very re-
spectable bookseller, binder, stationer, and dealer in Eng-
lish goods. He died June 28, 1778, aged 46.

1753. William MacAlpine, " Marlborough-Street," bro-
ther to Walter MacAlpine, was bred to binding, &c, by his
brother ; and became a considerable bookseller. In 1762,
he set up a press, and entered into the printing business.

As MacAlpine was a royalist, he left Boston with the
British troops in 1776 ; soon after which he returned to
Scotland, and died at Glasgow, anno 1788.

1754. Caleb Blanchard, " Dock-Square," was a brother
to Joshua. He was originally a dealer in books, but be-
came an importer of English goods.

First Baptist Church in Boston. He died in August, 1768,
aged 60.

1760. William Lang, " at the Gilt Bible, Marlboro'-
Street." He came from Scotland, and was brought up to
binding, which business he followed in Boston, and ac-
companied it with bookselling. His sales were chiefly con-
fined to Scotch editions of school and religious books. He
died in Boston before the year 1775.

1761. John Wharton, "Cornhill, Corner of King-Street,"
opposite the Old Brick Church. He and Nicholas Bowes
began business in company under the firm of Wharton &
Bowes. They succeeded Daniel Henchman, whose stand,
which had been occupied many years as a book and sta-
tionery store, with his stock, they took possession of.
Their business was not so extensive as that of their prede-
cessor, particularly in the publishing line ; very few books
were printed for them, as they confined themselves, prin-
cipally, to trading in English editions.

Wharton died in January 1768, aged 34.

Bowes continued the business till he died, in April 1790.

1762. John Hodgson, " Marlborough-Street," was bred
to bookbinding in Scotland, and became a good workman.
He was chiefly employed in this business, but sold a few
books. By permission of the court, he took, in short hand,
the trial of the soldiers who were concerned in the massa-
cre at Boston, on the evening of the 5th of March, 1770.
He gave up his shop in 1768, and was employed by John
Mein. Afterwards he sold small books from a stall in the
market place. He died about the year 1781.

1762. Philip Freeman, " Union Street." He was an
Englishman, who had been brought up a glover and
breeches maker, which trade or trades, he followed in Bos-
ton, and was a dealer in what is called soft leather. In
the Course of time .he began to keep a small collection of
books for sale, and had several pamphlets printed ; these
were on religious subjects. He was punctual in his deal-
ings, well respected, and was made a deacon of the First
Baptist Church. He died in April 1779, aged 77.

1762. James Rivington, "at the London Book-Store,
head of King-Street." He was an Englishman, and a con-
siderable bookseller in London. He never resided in Bos-
ton ; but employed an agent, who opened a valuable
collection of books printed in England, for sale. After
Rivington failed in London, he went with a large quantity
of books to Philadelphia ; and afterwards settled at New
York.

1762. John Perkins, " Union-Street," served his ap-
prenticeship with Joshua "Winter, and after his death took

he was sent by James Rivington, in 1762, to Boston, with

Rivington one year ; when he became his partner ; and
the firm was, " Rivington & Miller, at the London Book-
Store, head of King-Street, North Side of the Court House."
At this period Rivington lived in New York. Miller was
a young man of amiable manners, and was well acquainted
with the trade. He died in November 1765, and the busi-
ness was discontinued.

Butler who has already been mentioned. He was born in
Boston, where he served his apprenticeship with William
MacAlpine, and became a binder and sold a few books.
In 1774 he removed to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and
there kept a school near twenty years, after which he re-
turned, and again carried on business as formerly.

1764. Andrew Barclay, " at the Bible in Cornhill,"
from Scotland, was bred to binding, and followed that
business several years after he arrived in Boston. He sold
a few books.

1764. John Mein, was from Scotland, and began busi-
ness as a bookseller, in partnership with his countryman
Sandeman, "in Marlborough Street." Their sales were
wholly confined to Scotch and English editions ; and their
partnership closed at the expiration of one year.

In 1766, Mein kept the " London Book-Store North Side
of King-Street," where he opened a large and valuable col-
lection of European books, and a handsome assortment of
stationery. As he sold for a reasonable profit, his trade
became extensive. He commenced printing in partnership
with John Fleming; reprinted several books, and pub-
lished The Boston Chronicle, of which he was the editor.

Mein was a staunch royalist; the publications in the
Chronicle rendered him very obnoxious ; in consequence
of which he returned to Europe in November 1769 ; his
bookstore was then closed; and the Chronicle discontinued
in 1770.

1764. Sandeman, " Marlborough-Street," came from
Scotland in 1764, in company with his uncle, the cele-
brated preacher and founder of the sect called Sandeman-
ians. Mein, the partner of Sandeman, came in the same

ship with Wharton and Bowes, binders and booksellers.
He opened a large store with a valuable collection of books,

and, on account of his good conduct, and superior military
talents, was promoted by Congress to the rank of major
general. He was also made secretary at war before and

After living in Boston three or four years, he removed to
Newport.

The chief of the printing done in Cambridge and Boston,
previously to the year 1750, was for booksellers ; printers
did but little on their own account. Even the laws, acts,
&c, of the government were printed for booksellers. The
books printed during a century, in New England, were
nearly all on religion, politics, or for the use of schools.

Booksellers' Meeting, 1724.

The booksellers of Boston, in 1724, had a meeting for
the purpose of augmenting the prices of sundry books ; an
addition to the prices was agreed on ; but, I believe not
generally adopted.

small allowance for board. His economy was such that
from these wages he contrived to lay up money ; having
accumulated the sum of seventy-five pounds, he found a
friend who imported for him a press and a few types, the
cost of which exceeded the sum he had saved about one
hundred dollars. With these materials he opened a print-
ing house, and by persevering industry and economy was
soon enabled to discharge the debt he had contracted for
his press and types, and to open a book store. Eventually
he acquired a large fortune.

Mr. Brinley, of Hartford, Conn., whose unequalled col-

How is not mentioned, and the earliest seen of John Al-
len is in 1690.

The above sermon seems to be rare, as it is not in the
library of the Antiquarian Society, that of the Massachu-
setts Historical Society, or the Prince Library. It was
' preached on a Solemn Fast Day occasioned by the afflic-
tive Providence of God in sending Worms and Catapillars,

Among Printers some mention ought to be made of
Gregory Dexter, who joined Roger Williams in Rhode
Island. He had been a printer in London but never had
an opportunity to exercise his craft in this country, but
was in other respects a prominent man in that colony.

APPENDIX A.

[ Page 4. ]

The date of the newspaper mentioned in the note on page 4 (viz.
Nov. 3d to Dec 3d, 1640), is the earliest date of the Thomason Col-
lection in the British Mnseum, of publications made during the period
of the English commonwealth. These range from Nov. 3, 1640, to
May, 1661. Besides the Perfect Occurrences of Every dates iour-
nal in Parliament, we have a memorandum of another paper with the
title of Diurnal Occurrences in Parliament, the dates of which are
given thus, "from 3d Nov. 1640 to 3d Nov. 1641."

" The same from 22d Nov. 1641 to 28th March, 1642."

" The same, to 17th Oct. 1642."

" The same, ending March 10th, 1648."

In 1642 there was A Diurnal of Dangers.

The first daily newspaper published was supposed to be the Daily
Courant, issued in London, England, on the 11th of March, 1702,
soon after the accession of Queen Anne. A. recent contributor

journal forty-two years before that time. That in 1660, on the 8th,
9th and 10th of March, appeared three numbers of A Perfect Diurnal.

The title " Diurnal," or " Perfect Diurnal," did not necessarily
imply a daily publication. The Perfect Occurrences of Every Day's

The Diary or Exact Journal was a weekly paper, notwithstanding
its name.

The small newspapers of that day were numerous, and apparently
there was much rivalry among them. The titles were often quite

Mercurius Britannicus, The Welsh Mercury, Mercurius Cambro-
Britannus ; in 1644, Mercurius Civicus, The Court Mercury, &c; in
1645, Mercurius Veridicus, Mercurius Americanus (perhaps but one

The following account of the fire in Boston, in the year 1711, was
written by the Rev. Dr. Cotton Mather.

" Beginning about seven o'clock in the evening, and finishing be-
fore two in the morning, the night between the second and third of
October, 1711, a terrible fire laid the heart of Boston, the metropo-
lis of New-English America, in ashes. The occasion of the fire is
said to have been by the carelessness of a sottish woman, who suffered
a flame, which took the oakum, the picking whereof was her busi-
ness, to gain too far before it could be mastered. It was not long
before it reduced Cornhill into miserable ruins, and it made its im-
pressions into King-Street and Queen-Street, and a great part of
Pudding-lane was also lost, before the violence of it could be con-
quered. Among these ruins, there were two spacious edifices, which
until now, made a most considerable figure, because of the public re-
lation to our greatest solemnities in which they had stood from the
days of our fathers. The one was the town-house ; the other the
old meeting-house. The number of houses, and some of them very ca-
pacious buildings, which went into the fire, with these, is computed
near about a hundred ; and the families, which inhabited these houses,
cannot but be very many more. It being also a place of much trade,
and filled with well-furnished shops of goods, not a little of the
wealth of the town was now consumed. But that which very much
added to the horror of the dismal night, was the tragical death of
many poor men who were killed by the blowing up of houses, or by
venturing too far into the fire, for the rescue of what its fierce jaws
were ready to prey upon. Of these the bones of seven or eight are
thought to be found ; and it is feared there may be some strangers,
belonging to vessels, besides these, thus buried, of whose unhappy
circumstances we are not yet apprised ; and others have since died
of their wounds. Thus the town of Boston, just going to get be-
yond four score years of age, and conflicting with much labour and

248 History of Printing in America.

sorrow, is, a very vital and valuable part of it, soon cut off and flown
away."

In the single number of the attempted newspaper, dated Boston,
Sept. 25, 1690, is an account of a fire in that city which may pro-
perly be introduced here if it were only for its record of the destruc-
tion of the best printing press in the country ; but the disastrous
conflagration which has occurred while these pages are passing
through the press, and the remarkable preservation once more of the
South Meeting House, add a special interest to it. — H

" Altho' Boston did a few weeks ago meet with a Disaster by Fire,
which consumed about twenty Houses near the Mill Creek, yet about
midnight, between the sixteenth and seventeenth of this Instant,
another Fire broke forth near the South Meeting- House, which con-
sumed about five or six houses, and had almost carried the Meeting-
house itself, one of the fairest Edifices in the Country, if God had not
remarkably assisted the Endeavors of the People to put out the fire.
There were two more considerable Circumstances in the Calamities
of this Fire ; one was that a young man belonging to the House
where the Fire began unhappily perished in the Flames ; it seems
that tho' he might sooner awake than some others who did escape
yet he some way lost those Wits that should have taught him to help
himself. Another was that the best furnished Printing Press of
those few that we know of in America was lost — a loss not presently
to be repaired."

As this was the first skirmish between printers t)f newspapers in
this country, I will give the following particulars respecting it, which
are extracted from the News-Letter and the Gazette. William
Brooker, who succeeded Campbell in the post office, had, in an ad-
vertisement, mentioned his appointment ; and that Campbell was
removed from office ; this gave offence to Campbell, who endeavored
to make it appear that he was not removed. Brooker then published,
in No. 4 of the Gazette, the following, to substantiate what he had
asserted respecting Campbell. It was inserted in a large type and
filled nearly one half of the Gazette.

Post Office, January 11th, 1719.
" The good Manners and Caution that has been observed in writing
this Paper, 'twas hoped would have prevented any occasion for Con-
troversies of this kind : But finding a very particular Advertisement
published by Mr. Campbell in his Boston News-Letter of the ±th
Currant, lays me under an absolute Necessity of giving the following
Answer thereunto. Mr Campbell begins in saying, The Nameless
Author — Intimating as if the not mentioning the Author's Name was
a fault ; But if he will look over the Papers wrote in England (such
as the London Gazette, Post-Man, and other Papers of Reputation)
he will find their Authors so. As this part of his Advertisement is
not very material, I shall say no more thereon ; but proceed to Mat-
ters of more Moment. Mr. Campbell seems somewhat displeased that
the Author says he was removed from being Post-Master. I do hereby
declare I was the Person that wrote the said Preamble, as he calls it ;
and think I could not have given his being turn'd out a softer Epi-
thet. And to convince him (and all Mankind) that it was so, 1 shall
give the following Demonstrations of it. Many Months before John
Hamilton, Esq ; Deputy Post-Master General of North America dis-
placed the said Mr. Campbell, he received Letters from the Secretary
to the Right Honourable the Post-Master General of Great Britain,
&c, that there had been several Complaints made against him, and

250 History of Printing in America.

therefore the removal of him from being Post-Master was thought
necessary. Mr. Hamilton for some time delayed it, till on the \"&th
of September 1718, he appointed me to succeed him, with the same
Salary and other just Allowances, according to the Establishment of
the Office ; and if Mr. Campbell had any other, they were both un-
just and unwarrantable, and he ought not to mention them. As soon
as I was put into possession of the Office, Mr. Hamilton wrote a, Letter
to the Right Honourable the Post-Master General, acquainting them
he had removed Mr. Campbell and appointed me in his room — Mr.
Campbell goes on ; saying, I was superceded by Mr. Musgrave from
England. To make him appear also mistaken in this Point; Mr.
Hamilton not displacing him as soon as was expected, the Right Ho-
nourable the Post- Master General appointe i Mr. Philip Musgrave by
their Deputation dated June 27, 1718, to be their Deputy Post-Mas-
ter of Boston ; and in a Letter brought by him from the Right Hon-
ourable the Post-Master General to John Hamilton Esq ; mention is
made, that for the many Complaints that were made against Mr.
Campbell, they had thought it fit to remove him, and appoint Mr.
Musgrave in his stead, who was nominated Post- Master of Boston
almost three months before I succeeded Mr Campbell, which has
obliged me to make it appear that he was either removed, turned out,
displaced, or superceded Twice. The last thing I am to speak to is,
Mr. Campbell says, It is amiss to represent, that People remote have
been prevented from having the News-Paper. I do pray he will
again read over my Introduction, and then he will find there is no
words there advanced, that will admit of such an Interpretation.
There is nothing herein contained but what is unquestionably True ;
therefore I shall take my leave of him, wishing him all desireable
Success in his agreeable News-Letter, assuring him I have neither
Capacity nor Inclination, to answer any more of his like Advertise-
ments.

" William Brooker."

To the foregoing Campbell made this answer in the News-Letter of
Jan. 18, 1719-20, viz.

" Perhaps a long Reply may be expected from the Publisher of
this Intelligence to the Introductions of his Successor's News, espe-

Appendix. 251

cially No. 4, the first Page whereof is almost filled with unjust Re-
flections, unworthy either of his trouble to Answer, or the Candid
unprejudiced Readers to hear; who only affirms he was not turn'd
out, but resigned voluntarily in December, 1717, two years before
their first News Paper, and continued nine Months afterward, till the
13th. of September, 1718, Fifteen Months before their first News,
when the Deputy Post-Master General had provided another."

No. 6, of Bos. Gaz. contains Brooker's reply, which is as follows,

B^° Since against plain matter of Fact, Mr. Campbell has charged
me a second time with unjust Reflections, unworthy either his Trouble
to answer, or the Unprejudiced Reader to hear, T do again Affirm
he was turn'd out, notwithstanding his pretended Resignation : And
I hope he will not oblige me (against my Inclination) to say Things
which perhaps may be a greater Reflection on his Candour, and to
his Ears, then to the Unprejudiced Reader's.

Council of Massachusetts, respecting the paragraph published by
Fleet, March 8th, 17-41. It shows the difference between what was
then, and what is now, judged to be the " liberty of the press."

" At a Council held at the Council Chamber in Boston, upou
Tuesday the 9th day of March, 1741.

" Whereas there is published in the Weekly Paper called the
Boston Evening- Post of yesterday's Date, a Paragraph in the follow-
ing Words :

" Last Saturday Capt. Gibbs arrived here from Madeira, who in-
forms, that before he left that Island, Capt. Dandridge, in one of
his Majesty's ships of forty Guns, came in there from England, and
gave an Account, that the Parliament had called for all the Papers
relating to the War, and 'twas expected the Right Hon. Sir Rober
Walpole would be taken into Custody in a very few Days. — Capt.
Dandridge was going upon the Virginia Station to relieve the valiant
and vigilant Knight there, almost wore out in the Service of his
Country, and for which he has a Chance to be rewarded with a Flag."
Which Paragraph contains a scandalous and libellous Reflection
upon his Majesty's Administration, and may tend very much to
inflame the Minds of his Majesty's Subjects here and disaffect them
to his Government;"

" Therefore. Ordered, That the Attorney General do, as soon as
may be, file an informatian against Thomas Fleet, the Publisher of
the said Paper, in his Majerty's Superior Court of Judicature, Court
of Assize and General Gaol Delivery, in order to his being prosecuted
for his said Offence as Law and Justice requires.

In the Evening-Post of November 7, 1748, Fleet inserted this ad-
vertisement viz : " Choice Pennsylvania Tobacco Paper, to be Sold
by the Publisher of this Paper, at the Heart & Crown ; where may
also be had the BULLS or Indulgences of the present Pope Urban
VIII, either by the single Bull, Quire or Ream, at a much cheaper
Rate than they can be purchased of the French or Spanish Priests,
and yet will be warranted to be of the same Advantage to the Pos-
sessors."

These Bulls, or indulgences, of his holiness, were printed on the face
of a small sheet ; several bales of them were taken in a Spanish ship,
captured by an English Cruiser, and sent into Boston during the
war between England and France and Spain, in 1748. I have one
of them now in my possession. Fleet purchased a very large quan-
tity at a low price, and printed various editions of ballads on the
backs of them. One side of the sheet was blank, and the paper very
good ; one bull answered for two half sheet ballads, or songs such as
"Black Eyed Susan" — "Handsome Harry" — il Teague's Ramble
to the Camp," &c. I have seen large quantities of them which were
thus worked up by Fleet.

St. Mery, in his description of the Spanish part of Saint Domingo,
writes, that in the Spanish Indies, " there is a tribunal, or establish-
ment, for religious matters, but which at least has neither terrors nor
torments ; this is the holy crusade (santa cruzada), a name taken from
a bull, the original object of which was to give indulgences to all
those who should make offerings of money, or of their arms, to be
employed against the infidels. At present' it is more than a crusade
purely spiritual, it is in reality neither more nor less than a tax,
though it appears at the option of every one to refuse to purchase the
bull, but it offers so much good for so low a price, and the neglecting
to procure it indicates an indifference so bordering on unbelief, that
every one, even the ecclesiasticks, purchases the celestial treasures,
and with them the liberty of eating meat, eggs and milk, during the
meagre days of Lent, provided he be authorised by the opinion of his
doctor and confessor."

The following paragraphs respecting the piece over the signature
of Mucius Scsevola, published in the Massachusetts Spy, No. 37, No-
vember 14, 1771, are extracted from the Evening Post and the Ga-
zette, of the Monday following.

" We hear that at a council held at the Council Chamber last
Saturday, a piece signed Mucius Scsevola, published in the Massa-
chusetts Spy of November 14th, printed by Isaiah Thomas, was taken
into consideration, when it was unanimously ordered, that the Attor-
ney General be directed to prosecute the publisher thereof. — It is
said the piece referred to above (from its nature, and tendency), is the
most daring production ever published in America." — Boston Eve-
ning Post."

" On Friday last, in the afternoon, his Excellency the Governor laid
before the Council for their advice thereon, a paper in the Massa-
chusetts Spy of Thursday, signed Mucius Scsevola, said to contain
divers seditious expressions, &c. The council after debating till
sundown adjourned till the next day, when they met again and sent
for the printer, who in answer to the summons, told the messenger
he was busy in his office, and should not attend : Upon which it is
said a motion was made for his commitment to prison for contempt —
but did not obtain. Whether the abundant lenity of the honourable
Board, or from their having no legal authority in the case, has not yet
transpired to us. — The final result was, their unanimous advice to the
Governour to order the King's Attorney to prosecute the Printer at
Common-Law." — Boston Gazette.

Joseph Greenleaf, a justice of the peace for the county of Ply-
mouth, being suspected of having some concern, either as a writer,
or otherwise, in The Massachusetts Spy, received a summons of the
purport following, which he laid before the public in the Spy of No-
vember 22, 1771.

256 History of Pkinting in America.

" Province of Massachusetts Bay — To Joseph Greenleof, of Bos-
ton, in said province, Esq. —

" You are required to appear before the Governor and Council, at
the Council-chamber in Boston, on Tuesday the tenth day of Decem-
ber next, at ten of the clock in the forenoon, then and there to be
examined touching a certain paper called the Massachusetts Spy,
published the fourteenth day of November, 1771 ; whereof you are
not to fail at your peril. Dated at Boston, the 16th day of iNovem-

" By order of the Governor, with the advice of Council,

Greenleaf did not obey the summons, and on the 12th of Decem-
ber following, the Boston News-Letter, [Court Gazette] contained
the proceedings of the Governor and Council of the 10th of that
month in consequence thereof, viz.

" At a Council held at the Council Chamber in Boston, Tuesday,

December 10th, 1771.

His Excellency having acquainted the Board attbeirlast meeting,
that Joseph Greenleaf, Esq ; a Justice of the Peace for the county of
Plymouth, was generally reputed to be concerned with Isaiah Thomas,
in printing and publishing a News-Paper, called the Massachusetts
Spy, and the said Joseph Greenleaf having thereupon been sum-
moned to attend the board on this day, in order to his examination
touching the same, and not attending according to summons, it was
thereupon unanimously advised, that the said Joseph Greenleaf be
dismissed from the office of a Justice of the Peace, which advice was
approved of and consented to by his Excellency ; and the said Joseph
Greenleaf is dismissed from the said office accordingly.

The following fact I relate, principally with a view to show that

our revolution, and of whose love for his country many instances are
recorded, although he was so unfortunate as to become mentally de-

ranged, yet he still retained his political integrity, and his amor pa-
triae was not extinguished.

The Hon. James Otis was a lawyer of great note and distinction.
Under him the late president of the United States, Mr. Adams,
studied law, and became qualified for the bar. Mr. Otis's great mis-
fortune originated in a dispute with Mr. Robinson, one of the com-
missioners of the customs in Boston. The unhappy disagreement
terminated in an affray, in which Mr. Otis received a blow on his
head, which occasioned, through the remainder of his life, lucid in-
tervals excepted, a derangement of his intellects. During those inter-
vals he still paid considerable attention to politics. On account of his
disorder he was put under the care of a physician at Andover, and, at
that place, in May, 1783, whilst leaning on his cane, at the door of a
house, " he was struck by a flash of lightning, which instantly liberated
his spirit from its shattered tenement." l Mr. Adams was in France
when this fatal occurrence took place ; but he there beard of the
death of the unfortunate Otis ; and, on that occasion, wrote to a friend
in America, as follows : " It is with very afflicting sentiments I
learned the death of Mr. Otis, my worthy master. Extraordinary in
death as in life, he has left a character that will never die whilst the
American revolution remains, whose foundation he laid with an en-
ergy and with masterly abilities which no other man possessed."

I have mentioned the consequences which resulted from the pub-
lication of Mucius Scaevola ; but, notwithstanding I, afterward, ven-
tured to republish some very strong addresses to the king, which had
appeared in English papers. These addresses were very offensive to
the officers of the crown, and produced considerable agitation. A
prosecution was expected to take place ; and, I was informed by
some friends, on whose intelligence I thought I could place full reli-
ance, that Governor Hutchinson had said, that, " in order to secure
a verdict against me stronger ground would be taken than in the case
of Mucius Scaevola." Some weeks before the most obnoxious of these
addresses appeared in the Massachusetts Spy, Mr. Otis, who was then
under the influence of his disorder, called at my house one evening,
and desired to have a private conference with me in what he called

American Biographical Dictionary.

258 History of Printing in America.

" my sanctum sanctorum ;" meaning a private apartment,1 adjoining
the printing rooms, up two pair of stairs. The workmen had retired,
and we ascended to the place he mentioned ; where being seated in
due form, he demanded two sheets of paper and scissors, which I pre-
sented to him. He doubled each sheet, and after putting them to-
gether, in a formal manner, indented them at the top. On one of
the sheets of paper he wrote his private signature, and demanded my
countersign on the other, which I gave him. He folded it carefully,
deposited it in his pocket, left the other with me and having assured
me I should hear from him, he departed.

From this period I had no communication of any kind with Mr.
Otis, until the report of a prosecution, on account of publishing the
addresses to the king, became very prevalent. On that occasion he
again appeared, and was apparently perfectly composed, and in the
undisturbed possession of reason. He informed me, that he had
heard much of my having published an address to the king; and that
in consequence, a prosecution seemed to impend, in terrorem, over
me. As he had not seen the address in question, I handed him the
paper which contained it ; and, sitting down, he read it very atten-
tively. After reading it once, he went over the same again, para-
graph by paragraph, repeating at the end of each, " There is no
treason in that." When he came to the strongest passage, he
paused — read it again and again — and, after pondering upon it
some time, he exclaimed, " Touch and go, by G — " Having read
the address entirely through the second time, he civilly assured me
that, on due consideration, he was convinced the whole of it was de-
fensible, and that in case the prosecution should take place, he would
voluntarily come forward in my defence, without fee or reward ; or,
would point out to my counsel the ground of defence, which, in his
opinion, ought to be taken.

He appeared to be animated by the subject to such a degree as
produced some agitation; but on taking leave he said, "James Otis
still retains some knowledge of law." The projected prosecution fell
to the ground, and I saw Mr. Otis no more.

During the troubles occasioned by the revolution when William
and Mary ascended the throne of England, Captain Jacob Leisler,
was appointed, by the general assembly of New York, governor
thereof, till the king's pleasure should be known. This appoint-
ment was, afterwards, in July, 1689, confirmed by the king. In the
month of January following, Captain Richard Ingoldsby arrived at
New York, and, "without producing any legal authority," demanded
of Leisler the surrender of the fort in that city, which demand was
not complied with, and Leisler kept possession of the fort till the
arrival of a new governor, Colonel Sloughter, in March 1690, when
the fort was immediately surrendered to him by Leisler. In 1691,
the new general assembly of the province resolved, that Leisler
during his administration was guilty of certain high crimes and mis-
demeanors, which were particularized ; the priucipal charge against
him was, his refusal to deliver up the fort to Ingoldsby. In conse-
quence of this proceeding of the general assembly, Leisler and two
others, viz. Jacob Milborne and Abraham Gouverneur, were arraigned
in the supreme court, convicted and attainted of high treason and
felony, " for not delivering up the fort to Ingoldsby," and they were
all executed. An act of parliament was passed the 12th of Novem-
ber, 1694, "for reversing the attainder" of these unfortunate
gentlemen

[ Page 106. ]

A paper addressed "To the Betrayed Inhabitants of New York,"
signed " A Son of Liberty" was printed privately in Parker's printing
house, in December, 1769. This paper was laid before the general
assembly, which resolved that it was "a false, seditious and infamous
libel;" and, in an address, requested the lieutenant governor, to issue
his proclamation, offering a reward of one hundred pounds, New York
currency, for the discovery of the author. A journeyman in Par:
ker's printing house, one Michael Cummings, from Cork, in Ireland,
allured by the proffered reward, lodged a complaint against Parker,
as the printer ; in consequence of which, he was taken into custody,
on the 7th of January, 1770, by virtue of a warrant from the chief
justice Horsemanden, in which he was charged with being the
printer of the libel, and made amenable, before the lieutenant go-
vernor and council, to be examined concerning the premises. This
process was strictly executed. While he was detained in a course
of examination, before the lieutenant governor and the council, the
sheriff returned to Parker's house, and took all his apprentices into
custody, and immediately conducted them to the lieutenant governor
and council. Upon their entrance, their master, who had not the
least opportunity of seeing them after he was arrested, was ordered
into another apartment under the custody of the sheriff, and was not
present at their examination. The eldest apprentice was first ex-
amined, and the paper in question being produced, he was asked
whether he had seen it before ? To which he answered, that he had
frequently seen it, as printed copies of it had been dispersed about
the city. He further alleged, that, though repeatedly pressed to
declare whether it was printed at his master's printing house, he
refused to make any such declaration. But at length being threatened
with a commitment, he confessed that it was printed by Parker;
and, at the same time, assured the lieutenant governor and council
that he was ignorant who was the author. The younger apprentices
corroborated his evidence ; after which they were all dismissed.

Appendix. 261

Further proof being thus procured against Parker, he was again
brought before the lieutenant governor and council, and reexamined
on the subject; and though he repeatedly refused to discover the
author, yet being at length wrought upon by threats, that applica-
tion would be made to his superiors to procure his dismission from
h'is employment in the postoffice, and that he must either give bail
or be committed, unless he would discover the author; and, not
having had it in his power to consult with the author about an in-
demnification from him, he resolved to make the discovery, provided
he could procure an engagement on the part of the government, that
he should not be prosecuted This indemnity his honor and the
council, after some- consideration, thought proper to give to him ;
upon which he submitted to an examinatian on oath, and was dis-
charged upon his single recognizance, to appear and give evidence
against General Alexander MacDougall, whom he charged as being
the author of the paper in question. Early the next morning the
sheriff went to the house of MacDougall, and took him into custody,
on a warrant issued by his honor the chief justice, wherein he was
charged with causing the paper to be printed, which in the warrant
was said to be a "false, seditious, and infamous Libel;" and the
sheriff, according to the command of the precept, conducted him to
the chief justice's chamber, to be examined concerning the premises,
and to be dealt with according to law. When MacDougall was
brought into the chamber of the chief justice, his honor said to him,
" So you have brought yourself into a pretty scrape." To which
MacDougall replied, " May it please your honor, that must be judged
of by my peers." The chief justice then told MacDougall, "that
there was full proof that he was the author, or publisher, of the
above mentioned paper, which he called a "false, vile, and scanda-
lous Hbel." MacDougall again replied, "this must also be tried by
my peers."

His honor thereupon informed him " that he must either give
bail, or go to gaol." To which MacDougall replied, " Sir, I will
give no bail." His honor then ordered the sheriff to take him to
gaol, and made out a mittimus charging him with being the author
and publisher of a " certain false, scandalous, seditious and infamous
paper, addressed "tot-he Betrayed Inhabitants of the City and Colony

of New York," and subscribed, "i Son of Liberty ;" and command-
ing the sheriff " therewith to receive him, and safely keep him in
gaol, until he should thence be delivered by due course of law."

MacDougall remained in prison till April term following, when
the graod jury found a bill against him, as the author of a libel
against the general assembly ; but it being late in the term, the trial
was put off till another session, and MacDougall was admitted to
bail. Before the next term, Parker died, and of course the evidence
against MacDougall was lost. In consequence of which, MacDou-
gall on the 13th of December, 1770, was, by an order of the assembly,
taken before that body by the sergeant at arms, and placed at the
bar of the house; he was then informed by the speaker, that he was
charged by a member of that house, with being the author of the
libel before mentioned, and that he was by an order of the house to
answer to the question, " Whether he was guilty or not." MacDou-
gall asked who were his accusers, and what evidence was adduced
against him? These were questions for which the house was not
prepared; and MacDougall was interrupted by Mr. De Noyellis,
who was supported by the speaker. The latter informed MacDougall
that he had no right to speak until he had obtained leave of the
house. After some objections and difficulties had been surmounted,
MacDougall obtained leave to state his reasons why he ought not to
answer the question put to him, or the charge against him. He
declined answering it for two reasons which rendered it improper
for him to do so. One was, because the paper which had just been
read to him, was declared by the honorable house to be a libel ; the
grand jury of the city and county of New York had also declared it
to be libellous, and found a bill of indictment against him, as the
author of it. The second reason arose from the fact, that the honor-
able house had addressed the lieutenant governor to issue his pro-
clamation, offering a reward of one hundred pounds for discovering
the author or publisher of the paper signed " A Son of Liberty,"
in -order that he might be proceeded against according to law ; in
consequence whereof information had been given; and a prosecution
against him was then pending before the supreme court, where he
should be tried by a jury of his peers. He stated further, that as
the honorable house was a party in the question, the prosecution

Appendix. 263

being commenced at the instance and recommendation thereof, he
conceived it ought not to take cognizance of the matter ; and ques-
tioned if any precedent could be found on the journals of the house
of commons, to shew it had taken cognizance of any supposed libel,
when the reputed author of it was under prosecution. Such a pro-
ceeding would be an infraction of the laws of England, which forbid
that any British subject should be punished twice for the same
offence. For these reasons MacDougall declined either to affirm or
to deny anything respecting the paper before the house.

A debate arose in which Mr. De Noyellis insisted that the house
had the same power to make a person accused deny or acknowledge
a fact, as the courts below had to oblige a prisoner to plead guilty
or not guilty. This doctrine was opposed by Mr. Clinton ; who
said the house had the power to throw the accused over the bar, or
out at the window — but the public would judge of the action. It
was finally agreed to call in evidence as to the facts, whether a prose-
cution against MacDougall had been instituted, and to determine if
the house was a party to the prosecution. A dispute arose about
the manner of entering MacDougall's two reasons on the journals.
He conceived justice had not been done to the second; and after
some debate, he was ordered to commit it to writing. It was con-
tended by the speaker, and several other members, that his written
statement reflected on the honor and dignity of the house. After
the subject had been debated, it was decided that he was guilty of
a breach of the privileges of that house, and he was ordered to ask
pardon of the same. With this order MacDougall refused to com-
ply, alleging that he had not been guilty of any crime ; and he
asserted, that rather than resign the rights and privileges of a British
subject, he would suffer his right hand to be cut off at the bar of the
house. He was committed to prison by the sergeant at arms, where
he remained several months.

APPENDIX J.

[ Page 110. ]

By Philip Freneau.

City of New York, January 1st, 1783.

To the Senate of York, with all due submission,

Of honest Hugh Gaine, the humble Petition ;

An Account of his Life he will also prefix,

At least what was previous to Seventy-Six ;

He hopes that jour honours will take no offence,

If he sends you some groans of contrition from hence ;

And further to prove that he's truly sincere,

He wishes you all a Happy New Tear.

And first he informs, in his representation,

That he once was a printer of good reputation,

And dwelt in the street called Hanover Square,

(You'll know where it is if you ever were there)

Next door to the dwelling of Doctor Browne- John

(Who now to the drug-shop of Pluto is gone)

But what do I say — whoe'er came to town,

And knew not Hugh Gaine at the Bible and Crown ?

Now, if I were ever so given to lie,

My dear native country I would'nt deny ;

(I know you love Teagues) and I shall not conceal

That I came from the kingdom where Phelim O'Neale,

And other brave worthies, ate butter and cheese,

And walk'd in the clover fields up to their knees.

Full early in youth without basket or burden,

With a staff in my hand I passed over Jordan,

(I remember my comrade was Doctor Magraw,

And many strange things on the waters we saw,

Sharks, dolphins, and sea-dogs, bonettas and whales,

And birds at the tropick with quills in their tails).

Appendix. 265

And came to your city and government seat,
And found it was true you had something to eat :
When thus I wrote home — " The country is good,
" They have plenty of victuals and plenty of wood ;
" The people are kind, and whate'er they may think,
" I shall make it appear I can swim where they'll sink ;
" And yet they're so brisk, and so full of good cheer,
" By my soul I suspect they have always new year,
" And therefore conceive ' It is good to be here.' '
So said, and so acted, I put up a press,
And printed away with amazing success ;
Neglected my person, and look'd like a fright,
Was bothered all day, and was busy all night,
Saw money come in as the papers went out,
While Parker and Weyman were driving about,
And cursing, and swearing, and chewing their cuds,
And wishing Hugh Gaine and his press in the suds.
Ned Weyman was printer you know to the king,
And thought he had got all the world in a string ;
(Tho' riches not always attend on a throne)
For he swore I had found the philosopher's stone,
And call'd me a rogue and a son of a b — ch,
Because I knew better than he to get rich !
To malice like that 'twas in vain to reply —
You had known by his looks he was telling a lie.
Thus life ran away, so smooth and serene —
Ah, these were the happiest days I had seen !
But the saying of Jacob I've found to be true,
" The days of thy servant are evil and few ! "
The days that to me were joyous and glad,
Are nothing to those which are dreary and sad !
The feuds of the Stamp- Act foreboded foul weather,
And war and vexation all coming together :
Those days were the days of riots and mobs,
Tar, feathers, and tories, and troublesome jobs;
Priests preaching up war for the good of our souls,
And libels, and lying, and Liberty-Poles,

266 History of Printing in America.

From which, when some whimsical colours you wav'd,
We had nothing to do, but look up and be sav'd —
(You thought by resolving to terrify Britain —
Indeed, if you did, you were damnably bitten.')
I knew it would bring an eternal reproach,
When I saw you a burning Cadwallader's1 coach ;
I knew you would suffer for what you had done,
When I saw you lampooning poor Sawney his son,
And bringing him down to so wretched a level,
As to ride him about in a cart with the devil.
Well, as I predicted that matters would be, —
To the stamp act succeeded a tax upon Tea ;
What chests full were scatter'd, and trampled, and drown'd,
And yet t^ie whole tax was but three pence per pound !
May the' hammer of Death on my noddle descend,
And Satan torment me to time without end,
If this was a reason to fly into quarrels,
And feuds that have ruin'd our manners and morals;
A parson himself might have sworn round the compass,
That folks for a trifle should make such a rumpus,
Such a rout as to set half the world in a rage,
Make France, Spain and Holland with Britain engage,
While the Emperor, the Swede, the Buss, and the Dane,
All pity John Bull — and run off with his gain.
But this was the season that I must lament —
I first was a whig with an honest intent,
Not a fellow among them talk'd louder, or bolder,
With his sword by his side, or his gun on his shoulder;
Yes, I was a whig, and a whig from my heart,
But still was unwilling with Britain to part —
I thought to oppose her was foolish and vain,
I thought she would turn and embrace us again,
And make us as happy as happy could be,
By renewing the era of mild Sixty Three :
And yet, like a cruel undutiful son,
Who evil returns for the good to be done,

'Lieutenant Governor Cadwallncler Golden.

Appendix. 267

Unmerited odium on Britain to throw,

I printed some treason for Philip F — neau,

Some damnable poems reflecting on Gage,

The King and his Council, and writ with such rage,

So full of invective, and loaded with spleen,

So sneeringly smart, and so hellishly keen,

That, at least in the judgment of half our wise men,

Alecto herself made the nib to his pen.

At this time arose a certain King Sears,

Who made it his study to banish our fears !

He was, without doubt, a person of merit,

Great knowledge, some wit, and abundance of spirit;

Could talk like a lawyer, and that without fee,

And threaten'd perdition to all who drank Tea.

Ah ! don't you remember what a vigorous hand he put,

To drag off the great guns, and plague Captain Vandeput ? 1

That night when the hero (his patience worn out)

Put fire to his cannons and folks to the rout,

And drew up his ship with a spring on her cable,

And gave us a second confusion of Babel.

And (what was more solid than scurrilous language')

Pour'd on us a tempest of round shot and langrage :

Scarce a broadside was ended 'till another began again —

By Jove ! it was nothing but "Fire away Flannagan ! " '2

At first we suppos'd it was only a sham,

Till he drove a round ball through the roof of Black Sam; 3

The town by his flashes was fairly enlighten'd,

The women miscarry'd, the beaus were all frightened ;

For my part, I hid in a cellar (as sages

And Christians were wont in the primitive ages:

Thus the Prophet of old that was wrapt to the sky,

Lay snug in a cave 'till the tempest went by,

But as soon as the comforting spirit had spoke,

He rose and came out with his mystical cloke)

1 Captain of the Asia man of war.

2 A cant phrase among privateers men.

3 A noted tavern keeper in New York.

268 History of Printing in America.

Yet I hardly could boast of a moment of rest,
The dogs were a howling, the town was distrest !
But our terrors soon vanish'd, for suddenly Sears
Renew'd our lost courage and dry'd up our tears.
Our memories, indeed, must have strangely decay'd
If we cannot remember what speeches he made,
What handsome harangues upon every occasion,
How he laugh'd at the whim of a British Invasion !
P-x take 'em (said he) Do you think they will come ?
If they should — we have only to beat on our drum,
And run up the flay of America n Freedom,
And people will muster by millions to bleed 'em !
What Freeman need value such black-guards as these ?
Let us sink in our channel some Cheveaux de Frize.
And then let 'em come — and we'll shew 'em fair play-
But they are not madmen — I tell you — not they !
From this very day 'till the British came in
We lived, I may say, in the Desert of Sin —
Such beating and bruising and scratching and tearing,
Such kicking and cuffing, and cursing and swearing !
But when they advanc'd with their numerous fleet,
And Washington made his nocturnal retreat,
(And which they permitted, I say, to their shame,
Or else your New Empire had been but a name)
We townsmen, like women, of Britons in dread,
Mistrusted their meaning and foolishly fled ;
Like the rest of the dunces I mounted my steed,
And gallop'd away with incredible speed.
To Newark I hasten'd — but trouble and care,
Got up on the crupper, and follow' d me there !
There I scarcely got fuel to keep myself warm,
And scarcely found spirits to iveather the storm ;
(And was quickly convinc'd I had little to do,
The whigs were in arms, and my readers were few) ;
So after remaining one cold winter's season,
And stuffing my papers with something like treason,

Appendix. 269

And meeting misfortunes and endless disasters,

And forc'd to submit to a hundred new masters,

I thought it more prudent to hold to the one —

And (after repenting for what I had done,

And cursing my folly, and idle pursuits)

Return'd to the city and hung up my boots.

As matters have gone, it was plainly a blunder,

But then I expected the whigs must knock under,

And I always adhere to the sword that is longest,

And stick to the party that's like to be strongest ;

That you have succeeded is merely a chance,

I never once dreampt of the conduct of France ! —

If alliance with her you were promis'd — at least

You ought to have show'd me your star in the East,

Not let me go off uninformed, as a beast.

When your army I saw without stockings or shoes,

Or victuals — or money to pay them their dues,

(Excepting your wretched congressional paper,

That stunk in my nose like the snuff of a taper,

A cart load of which for a dram might be spent all,

That da — able bubble the old continental,

That took people in at this wonderful crisis,

With its mottos and emblems, and cunning devices;

Which, bad as it was, you were forc'd to admire,

And which was, in fact, the pillar of fire,

To which you directed your wandering noses,

Like the Jews in the desert, conducted by Moses) ;

When I saw them attended with famine and fear,

Distress in their front and Howe in their rear ;

When I saw them for debt incessantly dunn'd,

Not a shilling to pay them laid up in your fund;

Your ploughs at a stand, and your ships run ashore ;

When this was apparent, (and need I say more) ?

I handled my cane, and I look'd at my hat,

And cry'd — " Gr — d have mercy on armies like that!"

I took up my bottle, disdaining to stay,

And said — " Here's a health to the Vicar of Bray,"

And cock'd up my beaver and strutted away. /

270 History of Printing in America.

Asham'd of my conduct, I sneak'd into town,

(Six hours and a quarter the sun had been down)

It was, I remember, a cold frosty night,

And the stars in the firmament glitter'd as bright,

As if, (to assume a poetical stile)

Old Vulcan had lent them a rub with his file.

Till this cursed night, I can honestly say,

I ne'er before dreaded the dawn of the day ;

Not a wolf or a fox that is caught in a trap,

E'er was so asham'd of his nightly mishap.

I cou'dn't help thinking what ills might befal me,

What rebels and rascals the British would call me,

And how I might suffer in credit and purse,

If not in my person, which still had been worse :

At length I resolv'd (as .was surely my duty)

To go for advice to parson Auchmuty :

(The parson, who now I hope is in glory,

Was then upon earth, and a terrible tory.

Not Cooper himself, of ideas perplext,

So nicely could handle and torture a text,

When bloated with lies thro' his trumpet he sounded

The da — ble sin of resisting a crown'd head.)

Like a penitent sinner, and dreading my fate,

In the grey of the morning I knock'd at his gate ;

(No doubt he was vex'd that I rous'd him so soon,

For his worship was often in blankets 'till noon.)

At length he approach'd in his vestments of black —

(Alas my poor heart ! it Was then on the rack,

Like a man in an ague, or one to be try'd ;

I shook, and recanted, and snivell'd, and sigh'd :)

His gown of itself was amazingly big,

Besides, he had on his canonical wig,

And frown'd at a distance; but when he came near

Look'd pleasant and said — " What, Hugh, are you here

Your heart, I am certain, is horribly harden'd,

But if you confess, your sin will be pardon'd.

Appendix. 271

In spite of my preachments, and all I could say,
Like the prodieal son you wander'd away,
Now tell me dear penitent, which is the best,
To be with the rebels, pursu'd and distress'd,
Devoid of all comfort, all hopes of relief.
Or else to be here, and eat the King's beef?
More people resemble the snake than the dove,
And more are converted by terror than love :
Like a sheep on the mountains, or rather a swine,
You wander'd away from the ninety and nine ;
Awhile at the offers of mercy you spurn'd.
But your error you saw, and at length have return'd !
Our master will therefore consider your case,
And restore you again to favor and grace,
Great light shall arise from utter confusion,
And rebels shall live to lament their delusion."

" Ah rebels (said I) they are rebels indeed

Chastisement, I hope, by the King is decreed :

They have hung up his subjects with bedcords and halters,

And banish'd his prophets and thrown down his altars,

And I — even I — while I ventur'd to stay,

They sought for my life, to take it away !

I therefore propose to come under your wing,

A foe to Rebellion — a slave to the King."

Such pitiful whining in scriptural style

Work'd out my salvation, at least for a while ;

The parson pronounc'd me deserving of grace,

And so they restored me to printing and place.

But days such as these were too happy to last;

The sand of felicity settled too fast !

When I swore and protested I honor'd the throne,

The least they could do was to let me alone;

Tho' George I compar'd to an angel above,

Thev wanted some solider proofs of my love;

And so they oblig'd me each morning to come

And turn in the ranks at the beat of the drum,

272 History of Printing in America.

While often, too often, (I tell it with pain)

They menac'd my head with a hickory cane,

While others, my betters, as much were opprest —

But shame and confusion shall cover the rest.

You doubtless will think I am dealing in fable,

When I tell you I guarded an officer's stable —

With usage like this my feelings are stung;

The next thing will be, I must heave out the dung !

Six hours in the day is duty too hard,

And Rivington sneers whene'er I mount guard,

And laughs 'till his sides are ready to split

With his jests, and his satires, and sayings of wit :

Because he's excus'd on account of his post,

He cannot go by without making his boast,

As if I was all that is servile and mean —

But fortune perhaps may alter the scene,

And give him his turn to stand in the street,

Burnt brandy supporting his radical heat.

But what for the KiDg or the cause has he done,

That we must be toiling while he can look on ?

Great conquests he gave them on paper, tis true,

When Howe was retreating, he made him pursue.

From hence you may guess I do nothing but grieve,

And where we are going I cannot conceive —

The wisest among us a change are expecting,

It is not for nothing these ships are collecting,

It is not for nothing that Matthews, the mayor,

And legions of tories, for sailing prepare;

It is not for nothing that John Coghill Knapp

Is filing his papers and plugging his tap ;

See Skinner himself, the fighting attorney,

Is boiling potatoes to serve a long journey;

But where they are going, or meaning to travel,

Would puzzle John Faustus himself to unravel,

Perhaps to Penobscot, to starve in the barrens,

Perhaps to St. John, in the gulf of St. Lawrence;

Appendix. 273

Perhaps to New-Scotland, to perish with cold,

Perhaps to Jamaica, like slaves to be sold,

Where scorch'd by the summer all nature repines,

Where Phoebus, great Phoebus, too glaringly shines,

And fierce from the zenith diverging his ray

Distresses the isle with a torrent of day.

Since matters are thus, with proper submission,

Permit me to offer my humble petition ;

(Tho' the form is uncommon, and lawyers may sneer,

With truth I can tell you, the scribe is sincere.)

That, since it is plain we are going away,

You will suffer Hugh Gaine unmolested to stay.

His sand is near run (life itself is a span)

So leave him to manage as well as he can :

Who'er are his masters, or monarchs, or regents,

For the future he'll promise to swear them allegiance;

If the Turk with his turban should set up at last here

While he gives him protection he'll own him his master

And yield due obedience (when Britain is gone)

Tho' rul'd by the sceptre of Presbyter John.

My press that has call'd you (as tyranny drove her)

Rogues, rebels, and rascals, a thousand times over,

Shall be at your service by day and by night,

To publish whate'er you think proper to write :

Those types which have rais'd George the third to a level

With angels — shall prove him as black as the devil,

To him that contriv'd him a shame and disgrace,

Nor blest with one virtue to honour his race !

Who knows but, in time, I may rise to be great,

And have the good fortune to manage a state ?

Great noise among people great changes denotes,

And I shall have money to purchase their votes ;

The time is approaching, I'll venture to say,

When folks of my stamp shall come into play,

When the false hearted tory shall give himself airs,

And rise to take hold of the helm of affairs,

274 History of Printing in America.

While the honest bold soldier that sought your renown,
Like a dog in the dirt shall be crush'd and held down.
Of honours and profits allow me a share !
I frequently dream of a president's chair !
And visions full' often intrude on my brain,
That for me to interpret would be rather vain !
Blest seasons advance, when Britons shall find
That they can be happy, and you can be kind,
When rebels no longer at traitors shall spurn,
When Arnold himself shall in triumph return !
But my paper informs me its time to conclude.'
I fear my address has been rather too rude —
If it has — for my boldness your pardon I pray,
And further, at present, presume not to say,
Except that (for form's sake) in haste I remain
Your humble Petitioner — honest — Hugh Gaine.

Appendix. 275

APPENDIX K.

[ Page 123. ]

The following from the pen of Mr. Freneau, amongst several
other satirical essays, in verse and prose, appeared in the papers of
"the country, before, and at the close of the revolutionary war.

On Mr. Rivington's new engraved King's Arms to Ms Royal Gazette.

[Published May, 1782.]

From the regions of night with his head in a sack,

Ascended a person accoutred in black,

And upwards directing his circular eye whites

Like the Jure-divino political Levites,

And leaning his elbow on Rivington's shelf

While the printer was busy, thus mus'd with himself —

" My mandates are fully comply'd with at last,
New Arms are engraved, and new letters are cast;
I therefore determine, and freely accord,
This servant of mine shall receive his reward."

Then turning about, to the printer he said,
" Who late was my servant shall now be my aid ;
Since under my banners so bravely you fight,
Kneel down ! For your merits I dub you a Knight :
From a passive subaltern I bid you to rise
The INVENTOR, as well as the PRINTER, of Lies."

RIVINGTON'S CONFESSIONS.

Addressed to the Whigs of New York.

Long life and low spirits were never my choice,
As long as I live I intend to rejoice ;
When life is worn out, and no wine's to be had,
'Tis time enough then to be serious and sad.

276 History of Printing in America.

'Tis time enough then to reflect and repent

When our liquor is gone, and our money is spent;

But I cannot endure what is practiced by some,

This anticipating of mischiefs to come.

A debt must be paid, I am sorry to say,

Alike, in their turns, by the grave and the gay,

And due to a despot that none can deceive,

Who grants us no respite and signs no reprieve.

Thrice happy is he that from care can retreat,

And its plagues and vexations put under his feet;

Blow the storm as it may he is always in trim,

And the sun's in the zenith forever to him.

Since the world then in earnest is nothing but care,

(And the world will allow I have also my share)

Yet toss'd as I am in the stormy expanse,

The best way I find, is to leave it to chance.

Look round if you please and survey the wide ball,

And chance, you will find, has direction of all ;

'Twas owing to chance that I first saw the light,

And chance may destroy me before it is night !

'Twas a chance, a mere chance, that your arms gain'd the day,

'Twas a chance that the Britons so soon went away.

To chance by their leaders the nation is cast,

And chance to perdition will send them at last.

Now because I remain when the puppies are gone,

You would willingly see me hang'd, quarter'd and drawn ;

Though I think I have logic sufficient to prove

That the chance of my stay is a proof of my love.

For deeds of destruction some hundred are ripe,

But the worst of my foes are your lads of the type :

Because they have nothing to put on their shelves,

They are striving to make me as poor as themselves.

There's Loudon and Kollock, those strong bulls of Bashan,

Are striving to hook me away from my station,

And Holt" all at once is as wonderful great,

As if none but himself was to print for the state.

'Messrs. Holt, Loudon and Kollock, publishers of newspapers, and then
lately removed to New York.

Appendix. 277

Ye all are convinc'd I'd a right to expect

That a sinner returning you would not reject —

Quite sick of the scarlet and slaves of the throne,

'Tis now at your option to make me your own.

Suppose I had gone with the tories and rabble,

To starve or be drown'd on the shoals of Cape Sable ;

I had suffer'd, 'tis true — but I'll have you to know,

You nothing had gained by my trouble and woe.

You say that with grief and dejection of heart

I pack'd up my alls with a view to depart.

That my shelves were dismantled, my cellars unstor'd,

My boxes afloat, and my hampers on board :

And hence you infer (I am sure without reason)

That a right you possess to entangle my wezand —

But whoever argued, where blood was not spilt,

That terror of heart is conviction of guilt ?

The charge may be true — for I found it in vain

To lean oh a staff that was broken in twain,

And ere I had gone at Port Roseway to fix,

I had chose to sell drams on the margin of Styx :

I confess, that with shame and contrition opprest,

I sign'd an agreement to go with the rest;

But ere they weigh'd anchor to sail their last tr.ip,

I saw they were vermin, and gave them the slip.

Now, why should you call me the worst man alive,

On the word of a convert I cannot contrive ;

Though turn'd a plain honest republican, still

You own me no proselyte, do what I will.

My paper is alter'd — good people don't fret —

I call it no longer the Royal Gazette ;

To me a great monarch has lost all his charms,

I have pull'd down his Lion, and trampled his Arms.

While fate was propitious, I thought they might stand,

(You know I was zealous for George's command,)

But since he disgrac'd it, and left us behind,

If I thought him an angel, I've alter'd my mind.

278 History of Printing in America.

On the very same day that his army went hence,

I ceas'd to tell lies for the sake of his pence ;

And what was the reason ? the true one is best,

I worship no suns when they hang to the west.

In this I resemble a Turk or a Moor,

Bright Phoebus ascending I prostrate adore;

And therefore excuse me for printing some lays,

An ode or a sonnet in Washington's praise.

His prudence alone has preserv'd your dominions,

This chief of all chiefs, and the pride of Virginians !

And when he is gone — I pronounce it with pain —

We scarcely shall meet with his equal again.

Old Plato asserted that life is a dream,

And man but a shadow, (whate'er he may seem)

By which it is plain, he intended to say

That man like a shadow must vanish away.

If this be the fact, in relation to man,

And if each one is striving to get what he can,

I hope, while I live, you will all think it best

To allow me to bustle along with the rest.

A view of my life, though some parts might be solemn,

Would make, on the whole, a ridiculous volume.

In the life that's hereafter (to speak with submission)

I hope I shall publish a better edition.

Even swine you permit to subsist in the street ;

You pity a dog that lies down to be beat : —

Then forget what is past — for the year's at a close —

And men of my age have some need of repose.

The following humorous address appeared in the public papers, soon
after the revolutionary war ended. It is the production of the late
Dr. Witherspoon of Philadelphia, and appears in his works.

remainder will speedily follow them. Where they are gone, or going,
is perhaps known to themselves, perhaps not ; certainly, however, it
is unknown to us, the loyal inhabitants of the place, and other friends
of government who have taken refuge in it, and who are therefore
filled with distress and terror on the unhappy occasion. That as
soon as the evacuation is completed, it is more than probable, the
city will be taken possession of by the forces of your high mighti-
nesses, followed by vast crowds of other persons — whigs by nature
and profession — friends to the liberties, and foes to the enemies of
America. Above all, it will undoubtedly be filled with shoals of
Yankies, that is to say, the natives and inhabitants, or as a great
lady in this metropolis generally expresses it — the wretches of
New-England.

"That from several circumstances, there is reason to fear that
the behavior of the wretches aforesaid, may not be altogether gentle
to such of the friends of government as shall stay behind. What
the governing powers of the state of New York may do also, it is
impossible to foretell. Nay, who knows but we may soon see, in
propria persona, as we have often heard of Hortensius, the Governor
of New-Jersey, a gentleman remarkable for severely handling those
whom he calls traitors, and indeed who has exalted some of them
(quanquam animus meminisse horret luctu-que refugit) to a high,
though dependent station, and brought America under their feet, in
a sense very different from what Lord North meant when he first

280 History of Printing in America.

used that celebrated expression, That your petitioner in particular,
is at the greatest loss what to resolve upon, or how to shape his
course. He has no desire at all, either to be roasted in Florida, or
frozen to death in Canada or Nova Scotia. Being a great lover of
fresh cod, he has had thoughts of trying a settlement in Newfound-
land, but recollecting that the New-England men have almost all the
same appetite, he was obliged to relinquish that project entirely. If
he should go to Great Britain, dangers no less formidable present
themselves. Having been a bankrupt in London, it is not impossi-
ble that he might be accommodated with a lodg-ins in Newgate, and
that the ordinary there, might oblige him to say his prayers, a prac-
tice from which he hath had an insuperable aversion all his life long.
In this dreadful dilemma, he hath at last determined to apply to
your high mightinesses, and by this memorial to lay himself at your
feet, which he assures you, is the true modish phrase for respectful
submission, according to the present etiquette of the court. Being
informed, however, that some of you are Presbyterians, and Reli-
gionists, he has been also at some pains to find out a scripture war-
rant or example for his present conduct, and has happily found it
in the advice given by the servants of Benhadad, king of Syria, to
their master, 1 Kings, xx. 31-32. And his servants said unto him,
Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are
merciful kings : Let lis, we pray thee, put sackcloth upon our loins, and
ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel : peradventure
he will save thy life. So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and
put ropes upon their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said,
thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee let me live. In like manner,

0 most mighty and venerable congress-men, your servant, J. R

saith, I pray you let me live.

" Having thus preferred my petition, I must now entreat leave
to lay before your high mightinesses, sundry reasons, which I hope
will incline you to lend a favorable ear to it, in doing which, I shall
use all possible plainness and candor. 1. In the first place, there
cannot possibly be any danger to the United States in suffering me
to live. I know many of you think and say, that a tory heart ac-
quires such a degree of sourness and malevolence, in addition to its
native stock, and such a habit of treachery, by breaking through

Appendix. 281

the most endearing ties of nature, that no good can be expected
from it, nor any dependence placed upon it, let pretences or appear-
ances be what they will. I remember also, about seven years ago,
a certain person hearing accidentally one or two paragraphs read
from the writings of an eminent controversial divine in this country,
said, That fellow must be a tarncoat ; it is impossible that he could
have been educated in the profession which he now defends. What
is your reason for that opinion ? said another gentleman who was
present — Because, says he, he discovers a rancor of spirit and rot-
tenness of heart, unattainable by any other class of men. But I
contend that these remarks relate only to the natives of this country,
who like parricides took up arms for her destruction ; and to apos-
tates in religion ; neither of which, I am certain, can be applied to
me. I was born, as is well known, in old England; and as for the
accusation of apostacy, I set it at defiance, unless a man can be said
to fall off from what he was never on, or to depart from a place which
he never saw. But what I beg of you particularly to observe is, that
let the disposition to mischief be as great as you please, where the
ability is wanting, there can be no danger. I have often seen the
lions in the tower of London without fear, because there was an iron
grate between me and them. Now it is certain that the tories in
general would do any thing sooner than fight. Many of them be-
came tories for no other reason than that they might avoid fighting.
The poor chicken-hearted creatures cried out to the potent king of
England, to take them under his wings for protection, which he
endeavoured to do, but they were too short to cover- them. Even
the late petition for arms, in which they promised to go without the
lines, and sweep you all away with the besom of destruction, was
but an idle rhodomontade. — It was something like a poor boy shout-
ing and singing in the dark, to keep himself from being afraid. At
that very time, to my certain knowledge, they would have given the
world for a place to fly to, out of the reach of Washington and Gates.
But I return to myself, egomet sum proximus mihi. I can assure
your high mightinesses, that no danger can arise from me, for I am
as great a coward as King James Vlth of Scotland, who could never
see a naked sword without trembling; having been, as it is said,

282 History of Printing in America.

frightened iu his mother's belly, when the fierce barons of that
country came in and killed David Rizzio in her presence. I was
once severely caned by a Scots officer now (if employed) in your
service. Though the gentlemen of that choleric nation have been
very much our friends in the present controversy, I find it is dan-
gerous to offend them. Buchanan their own historian says, perfer-
vidum est Scotorum ingenium. Therefore, by the by, or en passant,
for I suppose you are at present best pleased with French phrases, I
would advise every man who regards his own peace, however smooth
and gentle a Scotchman may appear, not to take him against the
hair, as the saying is in their own country, but to remember the
motto that surrounds the thistle, Nemo me impune lacessit. I also
very narrowly escaped a sound beating from a New-England parson,
who was strong enough, without either cane or cudgel, to have
pounded me to a mummy. All this, and much more of the same
kind, I bore with the most exemplary patience and submission.
Perhaps it will be said, that though no danger is to be apprehended
from any deeds, yet I may do harm enough by words and writing.
To this I answer, that I have expended and exhausted my whole
faculty of that kind in the service of the English. I have tried
falsehood and misrepresentation in every shape that could be thought
of, so that it is like a coat thrice turned that will not hold a single

stitch. My friend, Gen. Ro n told me some time ago in my

own shop, that I carried things so far that people could not believe
one word I said, even though it were as true as the gospel. From
all this I hope it plainly appears that there could be no danger from
me; and therefore as you cannot surely think of being cruel for cru-
elty's sake, that you will suffer me to live. 2. Any further punish-
ment upon me, or any other of the unhappy refugees who shall
remain in New York, will be altogether unnecessary, for they do
suffer and will suffer from the nature of the thing, as much as a
merciful man could wish to impose upon his greatest enemy. By
this I mean the dreadful mortification (after our past puffing and
vaunting) of being under the dominion of Congress, seeing and hear-
ing the conduct and discourse of the friends of America, and perhaps
being put in miud of our own, in former times. You have probably
seen many of the English newspapers, and also some of mine, and

Appendix. 283

you have among you the few prisoners who by a miracle escaped
death in our hands. By all these means you may learn, with what
infinite contempt, with what provoking insult, and with what unex-
ampled barbarity, your people have, from the beginning to the end
been treated by the British officers, excepting a very small number,
but above all by the tories and refugees, who not having the faculty
of fighting, were obliged to lay out their whole wrath and malice in the
article of speaking. I remember, when one of the prisoners, taken
after the gallant defence of Fort Washington, had received several
kicks for not being in his rank, he said, Is this the way of treating
a gentleman ? The answer was, Gr — d d — n your blood, who made
you a gentleman ? which was heard by us all present with unspeakable
satisfaction, and ratified by general applause. I have also seen one
of your officers, after long imprisonment, for want of clothes food
and lodging, as meagre as a skeleton and as dirty and shabby as a
London beggar, when one of our friends would say with infinite
humour, Look you, there is one of King Cong's ragged rascals. You
must remember the many sweet names given you in print, in England
and America, Rebels, Rascals, Raggamuffins, Tatterdemalions, Scoun-
drels, Blackguards, Cowards, and Poltroons. You cannot be ignorant
how many and how complete victories we gained over you, and what
a figure you made in our narratives. We never once made you to
retreat, seldom even to jly as a routed army, but to run off into the
woods, to scamper away through the fields, and to take to your heels
as usual. You will probably soon see the gazette account of the
defeat of Mr. Washington at Monmouth. There it will appear how
you scampered off, and how the English followed you and mowed
you down, till their officers, with that humanity which is the charac-
teristic of the nation, put a stop to this carnage, and then by a mas-
terly stroke of generalship, stole a march in the night, lest you should
have scampered back again and obliged them to make a new slaughter
in the morning. Now, dear gentlemen, consider what a miserable
affair it must be for a man to be obliged to apply with humility and
self abasement to those whom he hath so treated, nay, even to beg
life of them, while his own heart upbraids him with his past conduct,
and perhaps his memory is refreshed with the repetition of some of
his rhetorical flowers. It is generally said that our friend Burgoyne

284 History of Printing in America.

was treated with abundance of civility by General Gates, and yet I
think it could not be very pleasing to him to see and hear the boys,
when he entered Albany, going before and crying "Elbow Room
for General Burgoyne there." Fear and trembling have already
taken hold of many of the refugees and friends of government in

this place. It would break your hearts to hear poor Sam S , of

Philadelphia, weeping and wailing, and yet he was a peaceable qua-
ker who did nothing in the world but hire guides to the English
parties who were going out to surprise and butcher you. My brother

of trade, G , is so much affected, that some say he has lost, or

will soon lose his reason. For my own part, I do not think I run
any risk in that respect. All the wisdom that I was ever possessed
of is in me still, praised be God, and likely to be so. A man that
has run the gauntlet of creditors, duns and bailiffs, for years in Eng-
land, and has been cudgelled, kicked, and p — d upon in America,
is in no danger of losing his reason by any circumstance whatever,
so long as there is the least prospect of saving his life. I have heard
some people say, that dishonor was worse than death, but with the
great Sancho Panza, I was always of a different opinion. I hope,
therefore, your honors will consider my sufferings as sufficient to
atone for my offences, and allow me to continue in peace and quiet,
and according, to the North British proverb," Sleep in a whole Skin.
3. I beg leave to suggest, that upon being received into favour, I
think it would be in my power to serve the United States in several
important respects. I believe many of your officers want politeness.
They are like old Cincinnatus, taken from the plough ; and there-
fore must still have a little roughness in their manners and deport-
ment. Now, I myself am the pink of courtesy, a genteel, portly,
well looking fellow, as you will see in a summer's day. I understand
and possess the bienseance, the manner, the grace, so largely insisted
on by Lord Chesterfield ; and may without vanity say, I could teach
it better than his Lordship, who in that article has remarkably failed.
I hear with pleasure that your people are pretty good scholars, and
have made, particularly, very happy advances in the art of swearing,
so essentially necessary to a gentleman, yet I dare say they will
themselves confess, that they are still in this respect far inferior to
the English army. There is, by all accounts, a coarseness and same-

Appendix. 285

ness in their expression ; whereas there is variety, sprightliness and
figure, in the oaths of gentlemen well educated. Dean Swift says
very justly, " A footman may swear, but he cannot swear like a
lord." Now we have many lords in the English army, all of whom
when they were here, were pleased to honor me with their friendship
and intimacy; so that I hope my qualifications can hardly be dis-
puted. I have imported many of the most necessary articles for
appearance in genteel life. I can give them Lavornitti's soap balls
to wash their brown hands clean, perfumed gloves, .paint, powder,
and pomatum. I can also furnish the New-England men with rings,
seals, swords, canes, snuff boxes, tweezer cases, and many other such
notions, to carry home to their wives and mistresses, who will be
nation-g\a,d to see them. You are also to know that I import a
great many patent medicines, which may be of use to your army.
It is said that some of them are exceedingly liable to a disorder
called by physicians the rancomania, which is frequently followed
by the two twin diseases of plumbophobia and siderophobia. If they
will but submit to a strict regimen, and take the tincture drops and
pills which I prepare, I am confident the cure in most cases would
be infallible. I have been informed, that a certain person, well
known to your august body, has clearly demonstrated that virtue
and severity of manners are necessary to those who would pull an
old government down, which feat is now happily accomplished; but
that luxury, dissipation, and a taste for pleasures, are equally neces-
sary to keep up a government already settled. As I suppose you
are fully convinced of this most salutary truth, I take it for granted,
now that you have settled governments in all the states, you are
looking out for proper persons to soften the rigid virtue of the Ame-
ricans, and lay them asleep in the lap of self-indulgence. Now, I
am proud to say, that there is not a man on this continent more able
to serve you in this respect, than myself. I have served many of
the British officers in a most honorable station and character, of
which the great Pandarus of Troy was the most ancient example.
If I am happy enough to make my own conversation and manners
the standard of the mode, I believe you will see very powerful effects
of it in a short time. But if after recovering your friendship myself,
I am able also to bring back and reconcile to his country the Rev.

286 History of Printing in America.

Dr. A , I believe the system will be perfect. That gentleman,

by his robust form, is well fitted to be an ecclesiastical bruiser, if
such an officer should be needed ; and, with all due deference to the
officers of the American army, I should think that a better way of
terminating differences among them in the last resort than sword or
pistol, for many obvious reasons. He has also distinguished himself
by the publication of some poems, on subjects extremely well suited
to the character of a christian clergyman, and very proper for initiat-
ing the tender mind in the softest and most delicious of all arts, viz.
the art of love. Finally, I hope I may be of service to the United
States, as a writer, publisher, collector, and maker of news. I men-
tion this with some diffidence ; because, perhaps, you will think I
have foreclosed myself from such a claim, by confessing (as above)
that my credit as a newswriter is broken by overstretching. But it
is common enough for a man in business, when his credit is wholly
gone in one place, by shifting his ground, and taking a new departure,
to flourish away, and make as great or greater figure than before.
How long that splendor will last is another matter, and belongs to
an after consideration. I might therefore, though my credit is gone
in New York, set up again in the place which is honored with your
residence. Besides, I might write those things only or chiefly, which
you wish to be disbelieved, and thus render you the most essential
service. This would be aiming and arriving at the same point, by
maneauvering retrograde. Once more, as I have been the ostensible
printer of other people's lies in New York, what is to hinder me from
keeping incog, and inventing or polishing lies, to be issued from the
press of another printer in Philadelphia? In one, or more, or all of
these ways, I hope to merit your approbation. It would be endless
to mention all my devices ; and therefore I will only say further, that
I can take a truth, and so puff and swell and adorn it, still keeping
the proportion of its parts, but enlarging their dimensions, that you
could hardly discover where the falsehood lay, in case of a strict
investigation. That I may not weary you, I conclude with recom-
mending myself to your kind countenauce and protection ; and in
the mean time, waiting for a favorable answer, your petitioner, as in
duty bound, shall ever pray, &c.

The following is the Address of Andrew Marvel to the Public, intro-
ducing The Constitutional Courant.

" When a new public paper makes its appearance, the reader will
naturally be curious to know from whence it came, the publisher,
and the design of it. To gratify that curiosity, know reader, that
the publisher having formerly acquired a competent knowledge of
the printing business, for his amusement, furnished himself with a
set of proper materials; and the authors of the following pieces
having acquainted him that they applied to the Printers in New
York, who refused to publish them in their newspapers — not because
they disapproved them, or were apprehensive of danger, but because
several of their friends had been anxious on their account, and par-
ticularly desired them to be careful not to publish any thing that
might give the enemies of liberty an advantage, which they would
be glad to take over them ; and as these pieces are thought to be
wrote with greater freedom than any thing that has yet appeared in
the public prints, they thought proper to shew so much complaisance
to the advice of their friends as to desire to be excused, and to return
the copies : But I, who am under no fear of disobliging either friends
or enemies, was pleased with the opportunity of turning my private
amusement to the public good ; I not only undertook to publish
them, but now inform my countrymen, that I shall occasionally pub-
lish any thing else that falls in my way, which appears to me to be
calculated to promote the cause of liberty, of virtue, of religion, and
my country, of love and reverence to its laws and constitution, and
unshaken loyalty to the king — And so I bid you heartily farewell.

Andrew Marvel."

No. 1. of The South Carolina Gazette was introduced to the public by
the following Address, which appears to have been written by a
correspondent who was a friend to the printer, and who felt inte-
rested in the establishment of a newspaper in the colony.

" To the Reader.

"It being justly expected that what is thus offered to the Public,
should be written with a View at least, to their service, it may not
be improper, in this prefatory Paper, to let the Reader know, that
something conducive to that end, will be attempted in those which
are to follow.

"It is therefore desired, that such who are willing to assist in this
attempt, will communicate to the Printer of this Paper, what may
occur to them of that Nature.

" And, as the chief thing aimed at, is the Good of this Province
in general, it is hoped that this Application to the Public, for such
Correspondence, may not be looked upon as impertinent.

" We are sensible it by no means becomes those who are request-
ing their Readers to be their Correspondents, to restrain them to
any particular Subjects; yet, we shall venture to point out One, as
believing it such that every worthy Inhabitant of the Province will
allow to have the first Claim to his Pen.

" We- mean the Trade of this Colony, which perhaps, not without
reason, may be apprehended to be in danger of declining, unless
some new methods are considered of, and put in Practice, for en-
creasing and improving its Produce and Manufactures.

" This, were it effected, would tend not only to the Good of the
Province in general, and the particular Interest of many indigent
Families, but, likewise, be instrumental in answering the Design of
his Majesty in taking this Province into his Possession and Protec-
tion ; which, doubtless, was to advance and extend its Trade, and

Appendix. 289

consequently to see that part of his People who are settled here, in
a flourishing and happy State.

" Yet, however gracious his Majesty's Intentions are towards us,
it must be owned that without some Kegard to what has been hinted
at in relation to the Produce and Manufactures of this Province, we
shall not only be so injurious to ourselves, but also so ungrateful to
him, as in a great measure to frustrate those his Intentions.

"This, it is boped, may be some little Incitement to abler pens to
assist and promote this Design.

"But since it has proved true from Experience, that Papers of
this Kind, calculated only for the Use of the more serious Part of
Mankind, have been by many thrown aside, who might perhaps have
been agreeably led into the perusal of them, had the Dulce been
artfully interspersed with the Utile, it may not be amiss to acquaint
our Readers, that even those, whose genius reaches no further than
Amusement, will be deemed good Correspondents, provided they
carefully avoid giving Offence either public or private ; and particu-
larly, that they forbear all Controversies both in Church and State ;
for since the principal Thing in View by publishing these Papers, is
the general Service of the People residing in this Province, let us not
(however incapable we may prove of accomplishing our Purpose) at
once defeat it by that Bane of all Civil Society, Party Division ; but
rather let us be mindful that our Number is small ; our Unity ought,
therefore, to be greater, as well for the Advancement of our own
Interests, as the Honour and Service of the Prince under whose
Government and Protection we have the Happiness to live.

"In a word, such may be assured of having their Essays, whether
in Prose or Verse, inserted in this Paper every Saturday, who take
care that the Purport of them be not too manifestly opposite to the
Principles laid down in the following Lines, which we have been
lately obliged with by an unknown hand, and cannot think unworthy
the Sight of those we could wish to be Correspondents, nor yet disa-
greeable to the Hint we have borrowed from Horace at the Head of
our Paper. Yours, &c.

" To all whom it may concern to know me.

" I'm not High Church, nor Low Church, nor Tory nor Whig,

No flatt'ring young Coxcomb, nor formal old Prig;

Not eternally talking, nor silently quaint,

No profligate Sinner, nor pragmatical Saint.

I'm not vain of my Judgment nor pinned on a Sleeve,

Nor, implicitly, any Thing can I believe.

To sift Truth from all Rubbish, I do what I can,

And God knows if I err I'm a fallible Man.

I can laugh at a Jest, if not cracked out of time,

And excuse a Mistake though not flatter a Crime.

Any faults of my friends, I wou'd scorn to expose,

And detest private Scandal though cast on my Foes.

I put none to the Blush on whatever Pretence,

For Immodesty shocks both good Breeding and Sense.

No man's Person I hate, though his Conduct I blame,

I can censure a Vice without stabbing a Name.

To amend — not reproach — is the Bent of my Mind;

A reproof is half lost when ill Nature is join'd.

Where Merit appears, though in Rags, I respect it,

And plead Virtue's cause, shou'd the whole World reject it.

Cool reason I bow to wheresoever 'tis found,

And rejoice when sound Learning with Favor is crown'd.

To no party a Slave, in no Squabbles I join,

Nor damn the Opinion that differs from mine.

Evil tongues I contemn, no mob Treasons I sing,

I dote on my Country, and am Liege to my King.

Tho' length of Days I desire, yet with my last Breath

I'm in hopes to betray no mean dreadings of Death.

And as to the Path after Death to be trod,

I rely on the will of a Merciful God."

The long article on Newspapers, in Appleton's New American
Cyclopedia, vol. xn, published in 1861, was apparently prepared with
considerable labor, and contains a good deal of statistical informa-
tion. In the portion relating to this country, although the writer
has drawn freely from Mr. Thomas's History, there are some differences
of statement as well as much additional matter belonging to a later
period of time. As authorities are seldom given, there are wanting
means of determining the actual or comparative accuracy of the
several accounts.

The Cyclopedia says: "In Spanish America the first newspaper
was founded in Chili in 1812." "In Mexico the oldest newspaper
is El Siglio XIX, which is published daily and supports liberal
principles." " In the present British American colonies, the credit
of establishing the earliest newspaper belongs to the island of Bar-
bados, where Keimer founded the Barbados Gazette, in 1731.
Thirty-one years afterwards, in 1762, appeared the Barbados Mer-
cury, which continued till 1845. In the other British West India
islands newspapers were introduced as follows : Grenada, 1742 ;
Antigua, 1748; St. Kitts, 1748 ; Dominica, 1765; St. Vincent,
1784. In July of the latter year the Bermuda Gazette was founded.
In Canada the Quebec Gazette appeared in 1765, and the Montreal
Gazette in 1775. In Nova Scotia, the Halifax Gazette appeared
in 1751, but was not firmly established till 1760. In New Bruns-
wick two or three newspapers were published at St. Johns in 1782."

These statements may be compared with those of the present
work. — H.

I have not been sparing of attention or expense to make this an
accurate list ; and notwithstanding it may not be perfectly correct,
it does not fall far short of being a complete register of the news-
papers published between the months of, January and July of the

Appendix. 307

year 1810. The papers, in the new settlements particularly, have
their titles and places of publication often shifted, and the publishers
are frequently changed. Some publications are continued but a
short time, and others rise and fill their places. There are some
papers published, of which I could not obtain a particular account,
and therefore I have not brought them into this estimate.

CATALOGUE OF PUBLICATIONS

WHAT IS NOW THE UNITED STATES, PRIOR TO THE
REVOLUTION OF 1775-6.

1639.
An Almanac for 1639, calculated for New England, by Mr. Wm. Pierce,
Mariner. Cambridge. Printed by Stephen Daye.
Winthrop's Journal, vol. i, p. 289.

Freeman's Oath. Printed by S. Daye. Cambridge.

Oq the face of a half sheet of small paper. The first thing printed in what is now
the United States.— Winthrop's Journal, vol. i, p. 289.

1640.

Almanac for 1640. [No imprint. Cambridge. (Daye).]

Mr. Thomas was of opinion that Daye's name never appeared in an imprint.

The Whole Booke of Psalms, Faithfully Translated into English Metre.
Whereunto is prefixed a discourse declaring not only the lawful-
ness, but also the necessity of the heavenly Ordinance of singing
Scripture Psalmes in the Churches of God. Imprinted 1640.

Not paged. 147 leaves 8vo. Rev. Thos. Prince, in his revised edition of 1758, calls
this The New England Psalm Book. It was also called The Bay Psalm Book, and later
The New England Version of the Psalms. Prince states that the work of transl ition
was committed especially to Richard Mather. Thomas Weld, and John Eliot, and
was finished iu 1640, and printed that year at Cambridge by Daye, the first book, he
supposes, printed in North America.

[There were five copies of this rare book in the Prince Library, now a part of the
Public Libr iry of Boston. Of these two re nain in the library, and of the other three,
one is owned by George Brinley, Esq., of Hartford, Conn., one by Nathaniel B.
Shui tleflf, M.D., of Boston, and one by the widow ot the late George Livermore of
Cambridge. For collation, etc., See History of Printing, vol. I, pp. 46-7. Mr.
Thomas omitted the name of Richard Mather, as one of the translators, in his quo-
tation from Prince.* See also the catalogue of the Prince Library.]

1641.

An Almanac for 1641. Cambridge. [Daye.]

A Catechism agreed upon by the Elders at the Desire of the General
Court. Cambridge. [Daye.]
See Winthrop's Journal, vol. ii. p. 37.

The Body of Liberties. Fol. Cambridge. [Daye.]

It contained 100 Laws drawn up by Rev. Nath'l Ward of Ipswich, pursuant to an
order of the General Court. Mr. Ward had a legal education in England. See Hist,
of Printing, vol. i, p. 47, n.

Mr. Thomas is probably mistaken in supposing that The, Body of Liberties,
established in 1641, was printed at that time. A pamphlet, entitled An Abstract of
the Laws of New England, was printed in London in 1641, and has by many writers
been supposed *o be substantially the same as the Body of Liberties. There is
good reason to believe that the last named compilation was published by distribu-
tion to the towns in miuuscript. One of these copies, discovered by Mr. Francis
C. Gray, and accompanied by his learned essay on the Early Laws of Massachusetts
Bay, was printed in the Mass. Hist. Coll., 3d Se., vol. 8.

* Mr. Thomas's lists of early publications at Cambridge were confessedly incomplete, and, from the neces-
sity of the case, some of his descriptions failed of perfect accuracy ; but, as additions and variations often
involved questions of authority not always undisputed, it was thought best to leave them, generally, to be
made in this catalogue, which can be compared with his text. By History of Printing, in this catalogue,
the new edition is always meant. H.

310 History of Printing in America.

1642.

The Capital Laws of the Massachusetts Bay, with the Freeman's Oath.

Ordered to be printed, 18th 3d month, 1642. [Col. Bee] Mentioned, as printed in
Massachusetts, in the Preface to New England's Jonas Cast up at London.

[Date.]

1645.

A Declaration of Former Passages and Proceedings Betwixt the English
and the Narragansetts. 4to. [Daye.]

1646.
An Almanac.

12mo. Cambridge, N. E.

1647.

An Almanac, by Samuel Danforth. Cambridge. Printed by Matthew
Daye ; and to be sold by Hezekiah Usher, at Boston.
See History of Printing, vol. i, p. 48.

The Psalms in Metre, etc.

This, according to Mr. Thomas, was a second edition of The Bay Psalm Book or
New England Version " somewhat amended, and with a few Spiritual Songs added."
After this edition, he says, the Psalms were revised by Pres. Dun9ter of Harvard
College, and Mr. Richard Lyon. The revised version went through numerous edi-
tion's, not only here but in England and Scotland. It was attached to several Eng-
lish and Scotch editions of the Bible.— See History of Printing, vol. I, p. 47.

Mr. Thomas may be mistaken in supposing that this edition was " somewhat
amended, and with a few Spiritual Songs added." Mr. Brinley of Hartford, has a copy
with the date of 1647 ('■'■Imprinted 1647,") without place, which is a simple reprint,
without additions, of the first edition (in a smaller size) with some changes of spelling.
The changes of spelling would, perhaps, be more likely to occur if the book was
printed in England, which may have been the case, though som,e experts there think
otherwise. The title given by Mr. Thomas, viz : " The Psalms in Metre, faithfully
translated for the Use, Edification and Comfort of the Saints, in public and private,
especially in New England," is that of the revised edition. Mr. Brinley's copy with
the date of 1647, wherever printed, may fairly be regarded as the second edition, and,
so far as known, is unique.

Supposed by Mr. Thomas to have been printed in 1664 or 1665. Hist, of Printing.
vol. i, pp. 68-69. The true date of this edition is doubtful. It is also doubttul
whether the printing was done in this country or in England. The same types are
not seen in any other work executed here. It is possible that Mr. Usher ordered
copies printed at Cambridge in England to be bound up with the small Bibles printed
there and elsewhere for the New England market. Other copies with the same im-
print, varying slightly in size, and with some changes in the spelling of words in
the text are met with. Mr. Brinley of Hartford has one. Mr. Thomas's copy was
bound with a Bible printed at Cambridge, England, by Koger Daniel, 1648. The
Psalms are similarly associated with Bibles printed in other places, and of other
dates. They are all of the version revised and improved by Dunster and Lyon. See
Hist of Printing, vol. I, p. 47. The date of the Psalms can-not be decided by the date
of the Bibles. Mr. Lenox thinks this may be the 5th edition, and the first that was
printed in two columns.
