THE AMERICAN JOURNAL
THE AMERICAN JOURNAL AND GENERAL ADVERTISER was founded by Solomon Southwick and Bennett Wheeler, the first number appearing on Thursday, March 18, 1779. The printing office was located at the corner of North Main and Meeting streets. The paper was the same size as the Providence Gazette, but carried three columns to a page. May 3, 1780, and ending September 27, of same year, its publication day was Wednesday, Oct. 5 Thursday and Oct. 14, 1780, Saturday, and so remained until its discontinu- ance.
The paper ran three years. With Number 157 it was an- nounced it would hereafter be a semi-weekly, appearing Wednes- day and Saturday, but this did not mature. Instead Mr. Wheeler printed a new paper under a new title.
The paper carried a motto with the commencement of the second volume, taken from Addison's Cato: " A day, an hour, of virtuous LIBERTY is worth a whole eternity in bondage." From Oct. 14, 1780, to Jan. 24, 1781, a Continental Frigate was in the center of the title.
The price was $5 for six months, payable at time of subscrip- tion.
Aug. 16, 1780, the Editor says he and the office have done military duty, so August 2 and 9 were not printed. In No. 38 the printing office is announced as removed from the house of Capt. John Updikes to the store of Mr. Thomas Jones, next door but one to the sign of Gen. Washington on the west side of the Great Bridge.
With No. 38 ( Dec. 2, 1779, ) Bennett Wheeler appears as sole proprietor.
Of these 156 numbers we have seen all but six numbers, viz. : 1, 2, 16, 35, 105, 152.
