Opis

Excerpt from American Bibliography, Vol. 3 The period included within the third volume of the American Bibliography finds the art of printing, after one hundred and twenty-five years from its introduction, in 1639, finally established in all of the thirteen original States of the American Union; and it may be of interest to briefly summarize by whom the first presses were founded, and the times and places where the introduction of printing occurred in the several American Colonies. In chronological order this record is as follows: First, Massachusetts, at Cambridge, by Stephen Daye, in 1639. Second, Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, by William Bradford, in 1685. Third, New York, at New York City, by William Bradford, in 1693. Fourth, Connecticut, at New London, by Thomas Short, in 1709. Fifth, Maryland, at Annapolis, by William Parks, in 1726, Sixth, Rhode Island, at Newport, by James Franklin, in 1727. Seventh, Virginia, at Williamsburgh, by William Parks, in 1730. Eighth, South Carolina, at Charleston, by Eleazer Phillips, junior, in 1732. Ninth, North Carolina, at Newbern, by James Davis, in 1751. Tenth, New Jersey, at Woodbridge, by James Parker, in 1755. Eleventh, New Hampshire, at Portsmouth, by Daniel Fowle, in 1756. Twelfth, Delaware, at Wilmington, by James Adams, in 1761. Thirteenth, Georgia, at Savannah, by James Johnston, in 1762. How closely connected in interests the communities in each Province were may be inferred from the fact that during the century and a quarter the printing-press had been established in only twenty-three centres, of which Pennsylvania had six; Connecticut three; Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and North Carolina, two each; and the remaining Provinces only the centre where printing was begun. How populous these communities were may be estimated from the statement of Ezra Stiles, in his sermon on Christian union, in 1760, that: Four thousand British planters settled New-England, and in one hundred and twenty years their posterity are increased to five hundred thousand souls. The introduction of printing during the eighteenth century was usually begun, or followed soon after, by the publication of a newspaper. Up to the close of the present volume about sixty newspapers had been established and continued for varying periods of publication. Of this number, four were established in Connecticut; one in Delaware; one in Georgia; two in Maryland; eleven in Massachusetts; one in New Hampshire; thirteen in New York; three in North Carolina; fifteen in Pennsylvania; three in Rhode Island; four in South Carolina; and one in Virginia. Of all the Colonies, New Jersey alone was without a newspaper, and, it may be added, without a common centre for one, for Woodbridge, where James Parker had established his press, was chosen as his birthplace, and not for its availability as a centre for publication.
