Featherbed Alley Printshop
The Featherbed Alley Printshop is a museum featuring a replica Gutenberg press, and is located in the lower level of the Mitchell House, in St. George's, a UNESCO World Heritage town in Bermuda. The upper level of the house holds the St. George's Historical Society Museum. The house is named for its architect, Walter Mitchell, who had it built in the 1720s. The museum is a replica of an 18th-century printshop, though its location was never formerly the site of such a business (it occupies the former servants' quarters of the Mitchell House). The museum is largely dedicated to the history of Bermuda's first newspaper and printing business, that of Joseph Stockdale, who published '' The Bermuda Gazette''. Stockdale actually operated his business from the cellar of his own house, the Stockdale House, on Printer's Alley (currently a private home, belonging to present-day newspaperman Lt. Col. Gavin Shorto). Following his death, Stockdale's heirs continued to run operate the business ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

English-language Newspapers Published In North America
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots, and then closest related to the Low Saxon and Frisian languages, English is genealogically West Germanic. However, its vocabulary is also distinctively influenced by dialects of France (about 29% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 29%), plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language). Speakers of English are called Anglophones. The earliest forms of English, collectively known as Old English, evolved from a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in the 8th and 9t ...
