    National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox Becoming American: The British Atlantic Colonies, 1690-1763 The Franklin Institute BENJAMIN FRANKLIN on Printers’ Choice & Press Freedom * Two editorials in The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1731, 1740 ___________________________________________________ “Apology for Printers” The Pennsylvania Gazette, 10 June 1731, excerpts After being criticized for printing a ship captain’s advertisement that excluded clergymen as passengers, local clergy threatened to boycott the Gazette and take no printing jobs to Franklin.1 Due to the resulting clamor, Franklin published this “apology,” i.e., a statement of his philoso- phy as a printer, and concludes by explaining how and why he printed the offending handbill and why he should not be censured for the act. Slug mold (~10 in.)., into which hot lead is poured to create "slugs" of metal from which individual characters (letters, numerals, etc.) can be made Being frequently censur’d and condemn’d by different Persons for printing Things which they say ought not to be Tools of the printing trade printed, I have sometimes thought it might be necessary to make a standing Apology for myself and publish it once a Year, to be read upon all Occasions of that Nature. Much Business has hitherto hindered the execution of this Design [plan], but having very lately given extraordinary Offense by printing an Advertisement with a certain N.B.2 at the End of it, I find an Apology more particularly requisite at this Juncture .

  • Bibliography of American Newspapers, 1690-1820
    128 American Antiquarian Society. [April, BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS, 1690-1820 PART III ' MARYLAND TO MASSACHUSETTS (BOSTON) COMPILED BY CLARENCE S. BRIGHAM The following bibliography attempts, first, to present a historical sketch of every newspaper printed in the United States from 1690 to 1820; secondly, to locate all files found in the various libraries of the country; and thirdly, to give a complete check list of the issues in the library of the American Antiquarian Society. The historical sketch of each paper gives the title, the date of establishment, the name of the editor or publisher, the fre- quency of issue and the date of discontinuance. It also attempts to give the exact date of issue when a change in title or name of publisher or frequency of publication occurs. In locating the files to be found in various libraries, no at- tempt is made to list every issue. In the case of common news- papers which are to be found in many libraries, only the longer files are noted, with a description of their completeness. Rare newspapers, which are known by only a few scattered issues, are minutely listed. The check list of the issues in the library of the American Antiquarian Society follows the style of the Library of Con- gress "Check List of Eighteenth Century Newspapers," and records all supplements, missing issues and mutilations. The arrangement is alphabetical by states and towns. Towns are placed according to their present State location. For convenience of alphabetization, the initial "The" in the titles of papers is disregarded. Papers are considered to be of folio size, unless otherwise stated.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY "Order, Discipline, and a jew Cannon": Benjamin Franklin, the Association, and the Rhetoric and Practice of Boosterism N THE WINTER OF 1747-48, in the midst of a crisis in Pennsylva- nia's provincial government, Benjamin Franklin spearheaded the I formation of a voluntary citizens' militia to provide for the colo- ny's defense. Historians of colonial America have viewed the formation of this unprecedented extra-governmental military force, known as the Association, as one episode in the endemic factional conflict between Quakers and proprietors.1 Placed in a longer-term perspective, the Research for this article was assisted by a Summer Stipend from the National Endowment for the Humanities and a fellowship from the Philadelphia Center for Early American Studies. The author would also like to thank all the members of the Transformation of Philadelphia seminar for their helpful comments. 1 The story of the Association is also important in the ongoing struggle of Quakers to maintain their pacifist principles at a time of endemic warfare. From the vantage point of social history, the enthusiastic response to Benjamin Franklin's call to the city's "middling sort," its artisans and shopkeepers, to assume a civic role has also been interpreted as a sign of rising class consciousness in colonial American cities. See Robert L. D. Davidson, War Comes to Quaker Pennsylvania: 1682-1756 (New York, 1957); and Gary B. Nash, The Urban THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY & BIOGRAPHY Vol. CXVI, No. 2 (April 1992) 13 2 SALLY F. GRIFFITH April Association can also be understood as a significant moment in the development of American community life.

  • Partisanship in Perspective
    Partisanship in Perspective Pietro S. Nivola ommentators and politicians from both ends of the C spectrum frequently lament the state of American party politics. Our elected leaders are said to have grown exceptionally polarized — a change that, the critics argue, has led to a dysfunctional government. Last June, for example, House Republican leader John Boehner decried what he called the Obama administration’s “harsh” and “hyper-partisan” rhetoric. In Boehner’s view, the president’s hostility toward Republicans is a smokescreen to obscure Obama’s policy failures, and “diminishes the office of the president.” Meanwhile, President Obama himself has complained that Washington is a city in the grip of partisan passions, and so is failing to do the work the American people expect. “I don’t think they want more gridlock,” Obama told Republican members of Congress last year. “I don’t think they want more partisanship; I don’t think they want more obstruc- tion.” In his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope, Obama yearned for what he called a “time before the fall, a golden age in Washington when, regardless of which party was in power, civility reigned and government worked.” The case against partisan polarization generally consists of three elements. First, there is the claim that polarization has intensified sig- nificantly over the past 30 years. Second, there is the argument that this heightened partisanship imperils sound and durable public policy, perhaps even the very health of the polity. And third, there is the impres- sion that polarized parties are somehow fundamentally alien to our form of government, and that partisans’ behavior would have surprised, even shocked, the founding fathers.

  • On the Utility of Antiquity in Early America
    ON THE UTILITY OF ANTIQUITY IN EARLY AMERICA Francesca Langer A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of History in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Molly Worthen Kathleen DuVal Wayne Lee © 2017 Francesca Langer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Francesca Langer: On the Utility of Antiquity in Early America (Under the Direction of Molly Worthen) Drawing upon American newspaper sources from the 1770s-1790s, this paper examines the role of neoclassical discourse in the development of a national political culture in the early United States. Despite its highly aristocratic origins in the Glorious Revolution of England, the neoclassicism of the American Revolution became a versatile and creative mode of political expression available to those outside of the political elite. During and after the American Revolution, political elites turned to classical antiquity as a source of moral authority, distinguishing the new American Republic from Britain while styling themselves after British aristocrats and affirming their role as the Republic’s natural leaders. Non-elites also absorbed this neoclassical ethos, especially through Patriot propaganda, ultimately adopting it for their own ends. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION...........................................................................................................................1 CHAPTER 1: CATO......................................................................................................................6
