r Pioneer lenpiptn. flie “Nowsnnpor Record,” recently publish ed by Metre. Lay <fc Hrotliors, contains ail im mense mass of interesting facts in relation to the origin'and progress of that tremendous cn* gino for good or ovil—tho Newspaper Prote in the Old and tho New World From lois valuable work wo glean a few facts in regard to tho pioneer papers in this country. Tho first attempt to establish a Newspaper in North America, so far as can bo ascertained, was mado in lloston, iu 1090. A copy of probably tho only number of this journal is in tho State paper office in London. It is dated September 25, 1690—a Bhoefc of four quarto pages one of which was blank. It was dovo- tea to a record of passing events—foreign and domoslio. It was spoken of by the Legislative authorities as a pamphlit, which ‘‘came out contrary to law, nnd contained reflections of n very high naturo.” This piouecr journal was priuted by Richard Pierce, for licnjamiu Har ris, In 1690, Governor Fletohcr, of New York, caused Wm. Bradford—who oamo to this coun try with William Penn—to re-priut a London Onselto containing an account of an eugage- mont wi h the French. But the first regular American Newspaper was undoubtedly tho ‘'Boston Nows Litter,” which was commenced on tho 21th of April, 1704, by John Campbell, a Sootchman, who was tbo Postmaster of Boston, and also a book seller. It was twelve inches by oight, two pa ges folio, with two columns on each pnge, nnd printed in small pica typo. The publisher set forth its claims as follows : “This News Letter is to lie continuod Weekly ; and all persons who have any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farms, Ships, Vessels, Good Wares, or Mer chandise, &c., to bo sold or lot, or servunts Runaway, or Goods Stole or Lots, may have tho same inserted at a reasonable rate, from twolvo penoo to five shillings, and not la exceed; who may agree with John Campbell,' Postinus tor.” Notwithstanding theso strong induce ments to advertisers, tho News Letter did not abound with advertisements, for sometimes it had ono, but abobt ns oflcn nono At tho end of fourteen years, tho circulation of the paper was only threo hundred oopies. When it was sixteen years old, the publisher gavo notice that copies would bo printed on a wliolo shoot of loiter paper, one half of which would bo blnnk, on which letters might bo written. In 1819, a uow postmaster had boon appoint ed, and in December of that year, lie started the second Anglo-American newspaper—the “Boston Gazette,”—William Brooker, propri etor. Tho Nows Letter took umbrage—(some thing that docs not need mach shaking before taking)—at the “introductory advertisement” of tlie Gazette, and this was tho exciting enuso ol tho first of thoso terrible newspaper wars that now so frequently convulse editors and communities in this country. Tho third American newspaper was tho “Ainoricnu Mercuric,” which appeared in Philadelphia, on tho 22 J of December, 1119, 1 printing office that William Bradford “ “ ‘ cd, and which was then under tho r England Cournnt” August 18, 1717, mother to Ben, the as a reason for a stated that tho phiclo of Intclli- ell said Franklin I good nt none.” irlly in what tho ” This war of > publish his Let whole that. In 1722, i B. Green, who died John Dimpcr, his son in-law, reontimicd its publication until 1744, lied, nnd his widow continued it till 1776 It was then discontinued. The Boston Gazette, with various publishers, was continued till 1752. Franklin was an independent mnn—in spirit, if not in purse—and tho Courier was an inde pendent, out-spoken paper. The Legislative Council accordingly took tho Cournnt into con sideration, ami its publisher was imprisoned fur four weeks, but as this did not crush iho spirit of tho journni, tho Council insisted that the contents should bo supervised by the Secretary of tho Province. Franklin refused to submit his “copy," and Iho paper waR issued with tbo name of Benjamin Franklin ns publisher, who wob then an npprcnlioo in his brother’s offico. Tho Courant died iu 1727. Tho fifth Anglo-American newspaper—tho “New York Gazette”—appeared October 1G, 1725, printed by Win. Bradford, who, though nt that time sixty-livo years old, continued to publish it for seventeen years, when he sold it to James Parker. Files of it arc to lie soon in tho library ol tbo New York Historical Soci oty and it is said to bo iv neat specimen of ty pography.—[Printers’ Register. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
