Not a very Impresslxe begin idiio for American journalism xvas this little liaml-hillyet from If there has grown a profession employing hundreds of thousands of workers, an Industry which ranks high up among all the otli er Industries In the country In point of capital and annual earnings and a commodity width Ims heroine to the axerage Amcrleau as much a necessity of Ids daily life as the food lie eats or Ihe clothes he wears. In railing the Boston News-Lettethe "first American newspaper," Unit ndjecthe must he somewhat qualified. As a matter of fact t tie first newspaper Issued In the United States also appeared in Boston some fourteen years earlier, toi September k'5, llllKi, Benjamin Harris, nn exiled newspaper publisher who had settled In Bos-tons a hook seller and proprietor of a coffee house, brought forth a four-pagnewspaper (only three of which, however, bore uny printing, the fourth being blank) which he culled Publlek Oc currences Iloth Forrelgn and Dumostick. Ills paper, however, was promptly suppressed by Ihe governor of Massachusetts Cay Uolony and t lie council heeua.se It "contained Reflections of a very high uature and "sundry doubtful and Uncertain reports. Accustomed as we are to the "freedom of the press which has been la existence since tins nation wus founded, it may seem strange thut a newspaper could he tints sum liutrily disposed of by the authorities. Cut ll must be remembered that these were the days when human liberty, as we uoxv think of it, was practically nonexistent, when there was a system of lieonsing for nearly everything, including printing. livery colonial governor sent to America to rule the English colonies here between the years Jiisti and 17o0 wus given the right to regulate ttie press. So this first newspaper venture in what is now the United States died aborning because Harris neglected to secure a license and because lit this paper he made a reference to the French king and the Mnquns (Mohawk Indians) xvldch the authorities believed might cause trouble between France and England. Cost master Campbell w as more careful not to ruu afoul of the powers that be. Cy "waiting on his Excellency or Secretary for approbation for xvlmt is Collected," l.e. news, he was able to print In a conspicuous place under the heading of his paper, Published by Authority. and tints feel no fear of interference from the law. As a matter of fact, he seems to have been a timid sou who was never much In danger of getting Into trouble on that account. For as Bleyer says in his "Main Currents In American Journalism: Headadt nexvs-paper- s jf , r e Campbell edited his paper tn a painstaking but conservative and u.xlnrpired manner. He waa serupuloualy accurate even to the extent of pointing out tn one Issue that a comma had been misplaced in a pteredlng issue. On another occasion he explained that. In an account of a fire at It is Plymouth In the preceding Issue, ssid Elams covering the Barn. It should be said Smoak." Occasionally he would point the moral of a piece of news. When, for example, a wnmar had committed suicide, he expressed the hope that "the inserting of such an awful rrovldcm-- here n;ay not be offensive, but rather a Warning to all others to watch against the Wiles of our Crand Adversary. Again, when a man was punished with a severe whipping for selling tar mixed with dyt. he explains that tiie account If here only Insetted to be a caveat to others, of doing the Such brief like, least a worse thing befal them. cmn men l a weie the only editorial utterance in . . tne New Letter With meticulous care Campbell uudeitcok In the .

And when so done as we said be fore, we set the half Sheet at a more moderate price than It was set at in Exeter in England where they began to print much about the same time that we began here, here it was set at 2d and there it was at 2d and that sterling money, & when sent out to any house in Town inclosed, they were to have Twenty Shillings per Annum, and It was propounded here to be sent out for Twelve Shillings per Annum, tho' the paper and labor ft other Charges here is four times st least dearei than it is at Exeter. And tho it was proposed at such moderate Rates for both Town ft Country, having had 11 months experience of the Income ft trouble & charge In procuring ft Printing it; the L'ndertaker is money out of Pocket, ft has not sufficient to defray the necessary Charge; and unless some better encouragement be given fot the future, it must drop: ft therefore several being desirous It should not drop but be continued, we thought fit to insert this Advet tisement. That either the price for tire half Sheet a week and the Quarterly, acd Yearly Customers must be augmented, Or else there must be more of them Sold, and mote Quarterly ft Yearly Custemers than was last year. t Bleyei Campbell struggled along, making frequent appeals for support, and twice during 178 receiving grants fiom the government.
