HISTORY OF THE PRESS.

THE QUID NUNC was a four page paper, size twenty- two by thirty-two inches, four columns to a page. It was the first penny paper published west of the Alleghany mountains. The initial number appeared July 5, 1842, David S. Griswold editor, David D). Gris- wold proprietor ; Ellis, Fergus & Co., publishers. Its design was set forth in the prospectus, which enunciated the following plan : The Quid Nunc will seek to " ad- vance the cause of Literature, the Fine Arts, Science, Commerce, Agriculture, and the Mechanical Arts ; com- bined with such other topics, of local and general in- terest as circumstances may from time to time give rise to. Its columns will be open to such communications and discussions, as may be approved, on all subjects, excepting Religion and Politics ; neither of these will in any shape, be admitted within them. It will contain short original essays, mainly on practical subjects, designated to do away pernicious prejudices, without reference to their origin, long standing or general ac- ceptance. It will give no currency, nor encouragement to personalities, in any shape whatever ; nevertheless as a vehicle, or instrument of general reform, it will be its pride and cue to lash folly, and expose oppression, in whatever guise appearing or by whomsoever practiced." This declaration was signed by William Ellis, Robert Fergus and David G. Griswold. The paper was discon- tinued August 16, 1842, after thirty-seven numbers had been issued. The similarity in names-David D). and David G. Griswold-naturally suggests an error ; but none exists in this statement. The cause of the paper's suspension, as set forth by Robert Fergus, was that David D. Griswold collected and retained all the money realized from the publication of the paper, and Messrs. Ellis & Fergus, owning the type, paper, etc., and doing all the printing without receiving any cash for the same, refused to further continue its publication. The remain- ing parties observed their faith with the public, it is un- necessary to state, in the closing of the business.

THE NORTHWESTERN BAPTIST was a semi-weekly paper, the pages of which were fourteen by ten and one- half inches that was published by "a committee," with Thomas Powell as editor, at the office of the Western Citizen, 124 Lake Street. This paper was the first religious publication in the city of Chicago and was, as its name indicates, devoted to the interest and advance of the Baptist denomination. It had for its motto : " Earnestly contend for the faith which was once de- livered unto the saints." The initial number was is- sued September 15, 1842, and the last September 15, 1844, subsequent to which date it was removed from this city.

THE CHICAGO REPUBLICAN was issued on December 14, 1842, as a weekly newspaper, by A. R. Niblo, from Harmon and Loomis's buildings, corner of Clark and South Water streets, late the American office. Its size was sixteen by twenty-two inches per page, four pages of six columns each. This newspaper was established to create a public sentiment that should tend to re-elect President Tyler to office, and likewise it was contem- plated that the paper should act as " a power behind the throne " in the disposition of the offices in the gift of the Executive.

The paper is supposed to have lived about a year. Mr. Niblo removed to Oswego, Kendall County, and commenced the publication of the Kendall County Free Press.

THE WESTERN CITIZEN was first issued in 1842, from 143 Lake Street, every Thursday, by Zebina East- man and Asa B. Brown, with Zebina Eastman as editor. As might be inferred from the fact that the war-horse

In 1841 Mr. Eastman, with Hooper Warren, had published the "Genius of Liberty " at Lowell, LaSalle County, and upon the sus- pension of that paper Mr. Eastman came to Chicago and was a compositor in the American office until at short time before the publication of the Western Citi- zen. In 1845 the office was moved to 63 Lake Street, and Eastman and (I).) Davidson were associated in its publication. In 1849 the firm became Eastman &' J. McClellan, and so remained until 1852, when Mr. Eastman was sole publisher and proprietor.
