FIRST Ne " S2AoE}.
Believed to Have Been Iss ued at Ant
werp in 1905.

After painstaking and exhaustive
search it is said to have been ascer-
tanned beyond doubt tnat the print
er Abraham Verboeyen Of Antwerp
obtained in 1905 from the Archduke
and Duckess Albert and Isabelle the
privilege Of printing the first regular
newspaper. Antwerp, therefore,
claims the distinction of having given
birth to the first newspaper editor.
Abraham Verhoeven published his
paper every eight or nine days. ac-
cording to the supply of news he re-
ceived, as the slowness with which it
travelled and the absence of all compe-
titors in the field enabled him to take
his time and edit at his ease.
For long time the honor Of hav-
ing produced the first newspaper has
been disputed by Italy, France, Ger
many. England and Holland, and for
years the British museum exhibited
paper called the English Murcury.
SAID to have been printed III 1888, but
which proved to be a practical joke Of
Lord Hardwicke. AS the first Ger
man paper only appeared in 1915 in
Frankfurt, the first Dutch paper in
1916, the first English paper, tae
Weekly Gazette, in 1922 and The first
French paper in 1851, the priority 4
Antwerp in the field is asserted aud
sustained, it is declared, BY official
documents.
Shortly after the invention Of print-
ing publishers from time issued pla-
cards giving some sensational piece Of
news, but it was not untiI Abraham
Verhoeven thought Of making these
publications at regular intervals that
what is properly termed q newspaper
was issued, and it has taken 297 yeBrs
for it to reach its present universal
extent and influence.
In 1905 Antwerp intends to cele-
brate the three hundredth anniversary
Of journalism in a fitting manner, and
