DEVELOPMENT OF THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. 



dnce periodicals was more than doubled; but during the time 

 when American ingenuity developed the steam engine, the cot- 

 ton gin, the sewing ma- 

 chine, and the electric 

 telegraph, the progress 

 made in the mechanism 

 of newspaper making- 

 was comparatively in- 

 significant. The pro- 

 cess of stereotyping was 

 introduced into this 

 country from England 

 in J 813, and a year 

 later the iS'ew Testa- 

 ment was printed from 

 plates, but the discov- 

 ery was not utilized in 

 the publication of news- 

 papers until 1861. 



In the first half of 

 the century journalism 

 did not at any time 

 rank as a profession re- 

 quiring special training, 

 and capacity, and the 

 returns of the counting 

 room were so meager, 

 the cost of material so 

 high, and the aj^pliances 

 in the mechanical de- 

 partment so imperfect, 

 that the publication of 

 newspapers rose only 

 by slow degrees to rec- 

 ognition as a business 

 enterprise in which cap- 

 ital might seek invest- 

 ment with fair prospect 

 of a satisfactory return. 

 Modeled after English 

 publications, the early 

 American newspapers 

 depended, for whatever 

 of reputation or success
