On July 20, 1802, this extract from the works of Washing- ton is placed beneath the title : " In proportion as the structure of government gives force to public opinion it is essential that the public opinion should be enlightened." On Nov. 20, 1802, the publication day was changed to Saturday. Nov. 5, 1803, the quo- tation was dropped and the following was substituted : " Published by William W. Dunham, opposite the Market House, Providence.', Theodore A. Foster withdrew May 21, 1803, and Mr. Dunham then became sole owner.
Commencing Wednesday, July 18, 1804, the paper was printed and published by William Olney. Sept. 15 the publication day was changed back again to Saturday, when the announcement was made that a new font of type was to be used. This number has for title page the words "Providence Phenix" in plain letters, the bird phenix arising from the fire (which has hitherto been a promi- nent feature of the title page) being dropped.
Oct. 12, 1805, the announcement is made that the office is re- moved to the chambers over D. Vinton's store, 7 Market Square. Jan. 17, 1807, Jones & Wheeler (Josiah Jones, Bennett Wheeler) announce themselves as the proprietors of the paper. Feb. 28, 1807, " Providence " is dropped from the title, and the words " The Phenix" substituted in a new style of letters. March 14 a wood cut showed these letters in white.
Jan. 16, 1808, The Phenix has a new title, "The Columbian Phenix." March 11, 1809, the word " The" was dropped from the latter title. July 15, 1809, it is announced as published by Wheeler, Jones & Co. This firm name appears but a few times,

the name Jones & Wheeler continuing on each number as usual. The sub-title, " Columbian Phenix," was last used Jan. 12, 1811, and afterward no title but " Providence Phenix," in large letters and date in line following. Sept. 7, the sub-title, " The Patriot," is first used, the title having been from Jan. 19, "Columbian Phenix or Providence Patriot."
May 2, 1812, the paper is dressed in mourning in memory of the Vice President, George Clinton, who died at Washington April 20. May 3, 1813, a wood cut on the title page represented an eagle with shield in front and arrows in claws, with sunrise in the back- ground.
Jan. 15, 1814, with the beginning of Volume XII the title of the paper is again changed. It now reads " Providence Patriot and Columbian Phenix" instead of as before " Columbian Phenix and Providence Patriot."
Jan. 2, 1819, the paper became a semi-weekly, being published Wednesday and Saturday. The former price of $2.00 was changed to $3.50, and the title became " Providence Patriot" in large letters and "Columbian Phenix" in small letters. The firm name now was Jones, Wheeler and Cranston (Barzillai Cranston being added). Mr. Cranston continued in the firm one year only, when Jones and Wheeler continued it until May, 1823. The paper before Mr. Cran- ston was announced from April 17, 1819, as being published by J. Jones & Co., Printers to the State, 7 Market Square.
Eaton W. Maxcy succeeded Mr. Wheeler, but a year after transferred it to William Simons, the firm continuing as Jones & Simons until Nov., 1829, when Mr. Jones published as Agent. Mr. Simons retired. James O. Rockwell was editor from Nov. 11, 1829, until his death, June 7, 1831. June 9, 1832, it again became a weekly and so continued until its last issue, Dec. 29, 1832.
In politics it was Democratic. It was well edited and printed, being the first Democratic newspaper in the town of Providence. As first stated, it was first printed for T. A. Foster & Co., by W. W. Dunham. From Dec. 18, 1802, for a while it was printed by Samuel J. Williams. When it was first published it was $1.50 per annum, but when William Olney took charge it was raised to $2.00. J. Jones & Co., Printers to the State, continued as proprietors until Eaton W. Maxcy succeeded Mr. Wheeler when the firm name changed May 12, 1824, to Jones & Maxcy, and May 11, 1825, it again changed to Jones & Simons which co-partnership continued as above stated until Nov. 7, 1829, when Mr. Jones continued as agent.

In the last number, Dec. 29, 1832, he announces that his son, Cornelius S. Jones, will be editor and proprietor, and that the paper will have a new dress and be otherwise improved. This did not materialize however and no paper succeeded.
Of all these papers we have seen all the numbers issued except those for April 29 and Sept. 22, 1804, Jan. 24, 1829, Nov. 12, 1831, Jan. 25 and June 2. 1832. This file is in the possession of the Rhode Island Historical Society, whence these extracts and the matter published in this volume have been gleaned.
