1934.] Newspapers and Periodicals, 1828 365 DANIEL HEWETT'S LIST OF NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1828 ANIEL HEWËTT, compiler of the list of News- D papers and Periodicals published in the United States in 1828, is a little known figure in American literary life. H!e first appeared in print with "The Traveller's Guide through the United States and Brief Geographical View of the World," published at New York in 1822. He then issued "A New and Complete System of Short hand, or Stenography" published at Philadelphia in 1823. This was followed by a second edition printed at Washington with the same title in 1824, and also the same work with the revised title of "The Self Taught Stenographer; or, A New and Complete System of Short hand," Washington, 1824. In 1825 Èiewett published the second of his several books on American geography and statistics, "The American Traveller; or. National Directory containing an Account of the Roads of the United States, with a Description of the Country, and a Geographical and Statistical View of the United States," a work of 440 pages, printed at Washington. In 1829 he issued at New York "A Gazetteer of the New-England States," a small volume of 84 pages. In the West, Richardson & Lord papers in the American Antiquarian Society is an agreement made by Hewett with that firm, and signed by him February 4, 1830, promising to prepare a complete gazetteer of the United States, for which he was paid $75 on account. Throughout all this period, from 1824 to 1843 or after, he was editing a small magazine entitled "The Universal Traveller," or some- times "The Traveller and Monthly Gazetter," or 366 American Antiquarian Society [Oct., "Philadelphia Traveller and Gazetteer,"¡ which went through a different series of volume numbering and was frequently varied in its contents. This magazine seems very scarce and no complete file is known. Little is to be found about Hewett's career. He appears in the New York Directory from 1837 to 1843, most of the time listed as editor of the "Uni- versal Traveller." He is supposed to have! died in 1846. If this is so, he may well have been the Daniel Hewett who was graduated from Brown University in 1812, came there from Taunton, Mass., and is starred as deceased in 1846. That he possessed scholarly ability is shown in an excellent poem on the Birth-place of Washington, which he contributed to "The Universal Traveller" in 1832. ! In the issue of "The Traveller and Monthly Gazet- teer" for June 1828, of which a copy is in the American Antiquarian Society, was published his exhaustive list of Newspapers and Periodicals published in the United States in 1828. This was the first comprehensive list to be printed since Isaiah Thomas'si list of 1810, and preceded by twenty-four years the J. C. G. Kennedy list contributed to "Livingston's Law Reg- ister" for 1852. It records the titles and names of publishers of 681 newspapers and 119 magazines published in the United States in 1828. Since the list is of much historical and bibliographical value, it is herewith reprinted and is accompanied by an index of titles of papers and an index of the names ¡of publishers or printers. The spelling of the titles and of the names of printers has been given as printed ' by Hewett, except for a few manifest inaccuracies, even when the Christian names of printers have been found through recent research. It is needless to say that the list is valuable in identifying printers and in ' providing a comprehensive list of the titles of the early periodical press of the United States. ' C. S.
