 CONNECTICUT PRINTING
 FIRST IN NEW LONDON 1 Especial to The Bulletin.)
 Hartford. Sept. 4.-In The History of Printing in America by isaiah Thomas printed in 1910. at Worces- ter. Mass. at the State Library. Sou venir" William H. Taynor gleaned the following data: There was no press in this (ConnecticuD colony until 1709: and. I believe not more than four printing houses in it before 1775." The first printing done in Connecti- cut was in New London; forty five years before a press was established elsewhere in the colony" Thomas Connecticut. He set up his press in the town of New London in 1709.' In the year 1710 he printed an original work well known in New England, form of Church Discipline" This is said to be the first book printed in the colony. Timothy Green of BoS- ton receiving an invitation from the council and assembly of Connecticut colony, in the year 1714. removed to New London and was appointed print er to the governor and company, on salary of fifty pounds per annum.' It was stipulated that for this sum he should print the election sermons,
 
 should be enacted at the several ses- sicus of the assembly. Timothy Green, Jun. succeeded his father as printer of the colony and on the Sth of August. f15S. he published newspaper. This was the second es- tsblishment of the kind in the col cuy Norwich is the fourth town in Connecticut where a press was established before the revolution. Two printing houses were opened in this place in the same year. Tim othy Green the third and his brother in Jaw Judah Paddock fSpooncr,s open cd printing house in erwich in ' 5s.
 Alexander and James Robertson and John Trumbull opened the second printing house in Norwich in fI13, and This company was not dissolved un- til the British troops took possession Of inc city of New York in 111J. The Robertsons were royalists: and soon after that event left Norwich and went to New York. Trumbull remain cd at Norwich and continued printing. TrumbuN was an honest. well mean i ing man. and attached to r $ coun fry. He died in August 1902. at the age of ffty-two years.
 It will be of interest to the many readers Of The Bulletin to know that the second printing house" establish ed in Connecticut was in New Haven "at the close of year 1154." by James Parker & CO. The first work from their press was the laws of Yale Col Iege in Latin. "on the first of Jan uary. 1755. he (Mr. .Parkerl published q newspaper" the first in Connecticut.
