Lecture of William L. Stone on the Earl
NeWEnaner Press OF America,

lecture on this subject was delivered on
Monday evening, at Library Hall, Bergen, by
MIR. W. l.. Stone. The lectlrer's review of the
early newspaper press OF thi, country embraced
the period anterior to the Revolution. ALI the
papers were named in their order, with the time
at which they started respectively, the names
OF the editors and publishers, with many Curl
Gus incidents ia personal and newspaper history.
The first press was established in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, eighteen years after the landing
of the Pilgrims, where it was operated for
forty years without rival in America. In
l644, censers OF the press were appoint
ed In 1874, the first press was established
in Boston. In l704 the first newspaper appeared,
called the Boston Ne1os Letter, of the size of
halt sheet of ioolecap, edited BY John Campbell,
who announced, not long afterwards that he
was thirteen months behind in giving the news
from Europe ~ In l7l9 the Boston Gazette Was
issued, of which James franklin was the printer.
In l72l Franklin established the NeIo England
COJTdnt and being soon after imprisoned, was
succeeded by his brother Benjamin. In 1877
James Franklin established paper at Newport.
In 1881 the Boston Weekly Rehedrsdl-aiterwards
called the Boston -EUentRg POst-was started by
Thomas Fleet. Fleet was genius in his way,
and wrote many hard hits tor his columns.
Curiously enough, the mother.n.law of this Fleet
was the original Mother Goose authoress of
the world-famous ''Mother Gooses Melodies" !"
Her Nursery Rhymes were first printed by
Fleet
New York, it seems, was twenty-one years
behind Boston IN newspapers, the 6rst paper
having been established In l726, by William
Bradford, under the the title OF the New York
Gazette The size was abeut half sleet of fools
cap. Eight years subsequently the New York
Weekly journal was started by John Philip
Zengar--the most fearless ii not the most forci-
Bile, of the earlier newspaper editors. He was
indicted for libelling the Government, was de-
Tended by Andrew Hamilton and acquitted, re-
ceiving as public testimonial the freedom of
the city in a magnificent gold box. In the
course of the lecture Mr.. Stone read extracts
from an editorial by Zengar, written in l7Si
Hall dozen other papers were established in
this city previous to the Revolution, but we
have not space to follow the record further
Mr. StqHe dwelt at some length upon the mis-
Shkes of the press, illustrating them bya few
capital anecdotes. He also made some peril
nent observations uDon the relations of the press
10 the public and the editor 70 his patrons.-N.
