BIBLIOGRAPHY OF

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS, 1690-1820.

PART XIII: PENNSYLVANIA (PHILADELPHIA)

COMPILED BY CLARENCE S. BBIGHAM

The following bibliography attempts, first, to present ahistorical sketch of every newspaper printed in the UnitedStates from 1690 to 1820; secondly, to locate all files found inthé various libraries of the country; and thirdly, to give acomplete check list of the issues in the library of the AmericanAntiquarian Society.

The historical sketch of each paper gives the title, the dateof establishment, the name of the editor or publisher, the fre-quency of issue and the date of discontinuance. It alsoattempts to give the exact date of issue when a change in titleor name of pubhsher or frequency of publication occurs.

In locating files to be found in various libraries, no attemptis made to list every issue. In the case of common paperswhich are to be f oimd in many libraries, only the longer filesare noted, with a description of their completeness. Rarenewspapers, which are kno'wn by only a few scattered issues,are minutely listed.

The check list of the issues in the library of the AmericanAntiquarian Society follows the style of the Library of Con-gress "Check List of Eighteenth Century Newspapers," andrecords all supplements, missing issues and mutilations.

The arrangement is alphabetical by States and towns.Towns are placed according to their present State location.For convenience of alphabetization, the initial "The" in thetitles of papers is disregarded. Papers are considered to be offolio size, imless otherwise stated. There are no abbreviations

except in the names of the libraries where files are located, andthese should be easily understood. A superior italic "m" isused in the listing of the Society's files to signify mutilatedcopy. The bibliography includes only newspapers, and doesnot list magazines; the distinction has sometimes been difficultto draw, but the test has generally been the inclusion of currentnews. Neither in the historical sketches nor in the listing offiles is any account taken of the existence of the paper after1820.

All files, except in a few instances, have been personallyexamined by the compiler of this list, and the facts stated havebeen drawn from an inspection of the papers themselves andnot based on secondary authorities.

The bibliography will be published in the Proceedings inabout sixteen installments, after which the material will begathered into a volume, with an historical introduction, ac-knowledgment of assistance rendered, and a comprehensiveindex of titles and names of printers. Reprints of each in-stallment will not be made, nor will the names of papers orprinters be indexed in the Proceedings. Since the materialwill be held in type until after the printing of the final in-stallment, the compiler will welcome additions and correc-tions.

[Philadelphia] Aurora, 1794-1820+.Daily. A continuation, without change of volume

numbering, of the "General Advertiser," the word "Au-rora" being centered above the title, to read "Aurora.General Advertiser." The first issue with the changedtitle was that of Nov. 8, 1794, no. 1224, published byBenj. Franklin Bache. Bache died in the yellow feverepidemic, Sept. 10, 1798, and the paper was suspendedfrom Sept. 11 to Oct. 31, inclusive. It was resimaed withthe issue of Nov. 1, 1798, published for Margaret H.Bache, his widow, but with the issue of Nov. 14, 1798, itwas published for the heirs of Benj. Franklin Bache. Be-cause of the fever epidemic in Philadelphia, the paper waspublished at Bristol, about twenty miles from Philadel-phia, from Aug. 30 to Oct. 19, 1799. With the issue ofMar. 8, 1800, William Duane, who had been serving aseditor since Bache's death, became the publisher (see alsoletter of Duane in "N. E. Hist. Geneal. Register," vol.25, p. 386). Again because of the fever epidemic the paperwas removed, and published at Frankfort, about fourmiles from Philadelphia, Aug. 9 to Oct. 30, 1802. Withthe issue of Nov. 3,1807, his son became associated in themanagement, and the paper was published by William J.Duane and Co., which with the issue of Jan. 2, 1809, be-came Duane and Co. With the issue of May 15,1810, thename of William Duane appeared alone in the imprint.William Duane was appointed Adjutant-General in 1813,and with the issue of May 4, 1813, resigned the paper toJames Wilson. Upon his return in 1815, he again assimaedthe proprietorship and with the issue of June 17,1815, the


paper was printed for William Duane, and was so con-tinued until after 1820.

A tri-weekly edition of the Aurora was also published,although it is not known how early it was established, asnone of the issues bore volvune numbering. The earliestissue located is that of June 14, 1797, entitled "Bache'sPhiladelphia Aurora." With the issue of Mar. 10, 1800,the title was changed to "The Philadelphia Aurora."With the issue of Nov. 7, 1800, the full page heading wasgiven up, and a column heading "Aurora, for theCountry" adopted. With the issue of June 2, 1817, thecolumn heading became simply "Aurora." The tri-weeklywas continued until after 1820. Although there wasno publisher's imprint, the editorial changes were thesame as in the daily paper.

A weekly edition was also published, the first issue be-ing that of June 19, 1810, entitled "Aurora Weekly."This was continued until after 1820, the editorial changesbeing the same as in the daily.
