America s first journal the

America's first journal-the _Boston_News_Letter_-was printed at Boston in 1704, and survived to the limit assigned by the Psalmist to the age of man. In 1719 appeared the _Boston_Gazette_, and in the same year the _American_Weekly_Miscellany_, at Philadelphia. In 1721 appeared James Franklin's paper, the _New_England_Courant_, and in 1728 the _New_York_Journal_. In 1733 John P. Tenzer brought out the _New_York_Weekly_Journal_, a paper which was so ably conducted in opposition to the Government, that in the following year a prosecution, or rather persecution, was determined upon. Andrew Hamilton was Tenzer's counsel, and the temptation to quote a passage from the peroration of his speech for the defence is irresistible: 'The question which is argued before you this day is not only the cause of a poor printer, nor yet even of the colony of New York alone: it is the best of causes-the cause of liberty.
