Description
The first magazine published in New York, edited by William Livingston. It was suppressed by local British authorities, in particular over his protest of the installation of a bishop to head the newly formed King’s College (today’s Columbia University). Livingston went on to become the first governor of New Jersey and a signer of the United States Constitution, the document that codified the liberties for which he and Zenger had fought.
