  • The Collins Bible
    THE COLLINS BIBLE BY RICHARD F. HIXSON Mr. Hixson, a professor of communication in Rutgers College, is editor of the Journal. This article is excerpted from his Isaac Collins: A Quaker Printer in 18th Century America (New Brunswick, N.J., 1968). HE career of Isaac Collins constitutes an important part of the early history of printing, publishing, and journalism in the Middle States. From his presses in Philadelphia, Bur- lington and Trenton, New Jersey, and New York City, in the years 1770 to 1808, came some of the finest specimens of American print- ing. He was foremost a book publisher and bookseller, but he also published a Revolutionary newspaper and served as New Jersey's official government printer for several years. Many of his imprints, as well as those of other early New Jersey printers, are on file in the Special Collections Department of the Rutgers University Library. Collins, a member of the Society of Friends, issued many Quaker tracts and histories as well as numerous books about other faiths -y however, he was equally well known as the publisher of outstanding works on slavery, education, American history, and medicine. His greatest single achievement as publisher and craftsman was his 1791 edition of the King James Bible, the second quarto edition to be printed in America. To this work Collins brought all the skills of an eminent master printer and typographer, but in his solid concern for a definitive text he enlisted the aid not only of the Friends but of prominent Episcopalians, Baptists, and Presbyterians, including Dr. John Witherspoon of Princeton.

  • “Extracts from Some Rebel Papers”: Patriots, Loyalists, and the Perils of Wartime Printing
    1 “Extracts from some Rebel Papers”: Patriots, Loyalists, and the Perils of Wartime Printing Joseph M. Adelman National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow American Antiquarian Society Presented to the Joint Seminar of the McNeil Center for Early American Studies And the Program in Early American Economy and Society, LCP Library Company of Philadelphia, 1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia 24 February 2012 3-5 p.m. *** DRAFT: Please do not cite, quote, or distribute without permission of the author. *** 2 The eight years of the Revolutionary War were difficult for the printing trade. After over a decade of growth and increasing entanglement among printers as their networks evolved from commercial lifelines to the pathways of political protest, the fissures of the war dispersed printers geographically and cut them off from their peers. Maintaining commercial success became increasingly complicated as demand for printed matter dropped, except for government printing, and supply shortages crippled communications networks and hampered printers’ ability to produce and distribute anything that came off their presses. Yet even in their diminished state, printers and their networks remained central not only to keeping open lines of communication among governments, armies, and civilians, but also in shaping public opinion about the central ideological issues of the war, the outcomes of battles, and the meaning of events affecting the war in North America and throughout the Atlantic world. What happened to printers and their networks is of vital importance for understanding the Revolution. The texts that historians rely on, from Common Sense and The Crisis to rural newspapers, almanacs, and even diaries and correspondence, were shaped by the commercial and political forces that printers navigated as they produced printed matter that defined the scope of debate and the nature of the discussion about the war.

  • The Administration of Justice in the Counties of Fairfax and Alexandria
    The Administration ofJustice in the Counties of Fairfax and Alexandria (Arlington) and the City of Alexandria Part I By RoBERT NELSON ANDERSON* * * * * NoTE: The purpose of this article is to point out the courts of law that would have been available to a person residing in the area now known as Arlington County at any period of time from Colonial days to the present. Hence the narra­ tive stops as far as Fairfax County is concerned when jurisdiction was taken by the Federal Government over the Virginia portion of the District of Columbia in r8or and as far as Alexandria City is concerned when a court house was erected in Alex­ andria County (now Arlington) in r89i, thereby locating the County's judicial center within its own borders. Other than the courts that existed in the Virginia portion of the District of Columbia, this article is not intended to cover the Federal courts. * * * * In the year 1634, twenty-seven yea rs after the landing of the English colo­ nists at Jamestown, the various settlements that had been made over the new territory were by an act of the General Assembly of the province organized into eight distinct shires, or counties, as follows: The Isle of Wight, west of t)i.e James River; Henrico, Warwick, Elizabeth City, James City, and Charles City, between the James and Rappahannock Rivers; York; and Northampton on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. In 1648, the isolated settlements that had been made at Chicacoan,1 on the shores of the lower Potomac, were organized into another county, named Northumberland,2 the boundaries of which were defined as embracing all that territory lying between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers and extending from the Chesapeake Bay to the headwaters of such rivers high up in the Allegheny Mountains.

  • From Apprentice to Journeyman to Partner: Benjamin Franklin's Workers and the Growth of the Early American Printing Trade
    From Apprentice to Journeyman to Partner: Benjamin Franklin's Workers and the Growth of the Early American Printing Trade The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne. —Geoffrey Chaucer, "The Parliament of Fowls" ANY APPRENTICES IN THE EARLY American printing trade must have felt as Chaucer's fabled craftsman did. Beginning M at a young age, they commonly spent up to seven years as contractually bound, unpaid laborers. They usually had to promise not to gamble, fornicate, frequent taverns, marry, and buy or sell or divulge secrets of the business. Apprentices worked long hours, often performed menial tasks, and were subjected to beatings—all without pay. Yet apprentices endured the arduous existence because it held for them the promise of eventual self-employment. Their goal was to learn a craft they could practice when their apprenticeship expired.1 The apprenticeship system was essential to the growth of the early American press. Apprenticeships to printers were a means of vocational education that replenished and augmented the craft's practitioners, thus insuring a sufficient supply of skilled labor through which the "art" (special skill) and the "mystery" (special knowledge) of printing 1 For an example of the apprentice's obligations, see Samuel Richardson, The Apprentice's Vade Mecum (1734j reprint ed., Los Angeles, 1975), 2-20. On the menial nature of some tasks, see O. Jocelyn Dunlop and Richard D. Denman, English Apprenticeship and Child Labour: A History (London, 1912), 19-20; Sharon V.

  • Aprons Instead of Uniforms: the Practice of Printing, 1776-1787
    Aprons Instead of Uniforms: The Practice of Printing, 1776-1787 ROLLO G. SILVER WE DO NOT think of a master printer as primarily a busi- nessman. Because he controls a major channel of communica- tion, our tendency is to romanticize him while we forget that essentially his chief concern is the same as that of his fellow tradesmen—the bottom line of his balance sheet. In time of war, his hazard is doubled. Then all businessmen face the problems of scarcity, financing, possibility of dislocation, per- haps survival, but the printer also has the government and the public closely involved in his activities. The government uses some of his work and needs all of his support; the public assiduously heeds the opinions expressed in his publications. When the war is a civil war, such as the American Revolu- tion was in part, his predicament is even more hazardous. Maintaining a printing shop despite changes in civil authority requires ingenuity as well as tenacity and, if one holds to one's principles, courage. After all, the printer is a business- man whose stock in trade consists of twenty-six lead soldiers. It is impractical to describe all the aspects of the practice of printing during this period in one chronological narrative. So it is preferable to select those topics which best depict the activities of the printers between 1776 and 1787. These topics include the relationship between printers and the Continental Congress and the relationship between printers and the state legislatures. The expansion of the press must be considered 111 112 American Antiquarian Society as well as the impact of the Revolution on the equipment and personnel of the shop.

  • Revolutionary War Sites
    Revolutionary War Sites The settlement and establishment of Burlington County was in it's one hundredth year when American Independence was declared in 1776. During the preceding century it had grown from a tiny cluster of shelters along the Delaware to become the largest County in New Jersey stretching from the river to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The area had a strong tradition of freedom and democracy as secured by "The Concessions and Agreements of the Proprietors of West Jersey" (adopted 3 March 1676) which guaranteed freedom of speech and religion and the right to trial by jury long before the adoption of the Bill of Rights, and which specifically decried taxation without representation a full century before that issue ignited the American Revolution. Upon this base Burlington County grew until its position, politically, socially, economically and geographically thrust it headlong into the Nation's struggle for independence. This tour, which leads to many of the places in which that struggle occurred, is meant to, provide a tangible description of Burlington County's Revolutionary War history and to identify and make us mindful of the forces and ideals which contributed to the formation of the United States of America.

  • "To Rescue the Germans out Ofsauers Hands":Benjamin Franklins German-Language Printing Partnerships
    "To Rescue the Germans Out ofSauers Hands":Benjamin Franklins German-Language Printing Partnerships HEN BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DREW UP A CONTRACT to make David Hall the managing partner of the Philadelphia printing Whouse in 1748, he promised not to become involved in other publishing ventures for the eighteen-year duration of the contract. However, he violated that covenant.1 Franklin's reasons for doing so emanate from his political involvements, his moral convictions, his civic loyalties, and his desire to leave his ideological stamp on German immigrants, who constituted a segment of colonial society Franklin thought particularly needful of moral education. When Franklin informed Cadwallader Colden of his decision to take "the proper Measures for obtaining Leisure to enjoy Life and my Friends more than heretofore" by turning over the Philadelphia printing house to David Hall and retiring from its daily labors at the age of forty-two, he was 1 "Articles of Agreement with David Hall," Jan. 1,1748, in Leonard W. Labaree et al., eds., The Papers cf Benjamin Franklin (hereafter, PBF) (30 vols. to date, New Haven, 1959-), 3:265. There is no documentary evidence that Hall protested Franklin's financing of German-language printing houses in Lancaster and Philadelphia, but since the two men worked together and saw each other regularly, it is unlikely that such an objection would have been made in writing. Hall probably objected, though, in much the same polite manner as he did the following decade, when he suspected Franklin had helped finance William Goddard's Pennsylvania Chronicle, a newspaper initiated in 1767 to challenge Hall's Pennsylvania Gazette.
