Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address on the History of Journalism in North Carolina, 1881 Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Gentlemen of the North Carolina Press Association: I learned with equal surprise and gratification that I had been chosen to deliver this address; surprise, because I have not the honor to belong to your body, and have been for nearly ten years out of the editorial harness; gratification, that so distinguished an honor should have been conferred on me. In this case certainly "the office has sought the man, and not the man the office." I have approached the duty of preparing this paper with hesitation and anxiety, since the task of writing the history of journalism in North Carolina is one which no man can adequately perform; and since also I have to follow the distinguished editors, yourself (Mr. Battle,) in 1878; Mr. Cameron, in 1879, and Colonel R. B. Creecy, in 1880, who were the selected speakers for those occasions. We learn from Martin´s "History of North Carolina" that planting was introduced into this State in 1749, by James Davis, from Virginia, who set up a press in Newborn. His paper was a small weekly, and was called the "North Carolina Gazette." His paper continued six years. On the 27th of May, 1768, its publication was resumed, and continued until the Revolutionary war. The second press was by Andrew Stewart, Printer to the King, at Wilmington, in 1763, called the "Cape Fear Gazette and Wilmington Advertiser." This paper ceased in 1767. Stewart´s paper was succeeded by Adam Boyd´s "Mercury," which ceased during the Revolutionary war. The first revisal made in this State of the laws was printed by James Davis, Newbern, State Printer, in 1752. From the color of the leather with which it was bound it was called the "yellow jacket." In 1776 newspapers were printed at Newbern, Wilmington, Halifax, Edenton and Hillsboro. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
