Pue's Occurrences
Richard Pue (died 1722) was an Irish newspaper publisher, bookseller, and proprietor of Dick's Coffee House. Life The date and place of Richard Pue's birth is unknown. He established Dick's Coffee House, Skinner's Row, Dublin sometime before July 1698. Pue became a freeman of Dublin in 1701 as a member of the Dyers' Guild. On 25 December 1703 he began publishing ''Impartial Occurrences'' with Edward Lloyd. This paper was delivered by post across the country, with Pue acting as editor until 1706. The paper ceased in February 1706, reappearing in February 1712 as ''Pue's Occurrences''. In late December 1705, Lloyd and Pue jointly published a satirical attack on Protestant dissent by Jonathan Swift called ''A tale of a tub''. They also printed the ''Votes of the Irish house of commons'' (nos 1-65) between July and October 1707 and May and June 1709.

Coffeehouse
A coffeehouse, coffee shop, or café (), is an establishment that serves various types of coffee, espresso, latte, americano and cappuccino, among other hot beverages. Many coffeehouses in West Asia offer ''shisha'' (actually called ''nargile'' in Levantine Arabic, Greek, and Turkish), flavored tobacco smoked through a hookah. An espresso bar is a type of coffeehouse that specializes in serving espresso and espresso-based drinks. Some coffeehouses may serve iced coffee among other cold beverages, such as iced tea, as well as other non-caffeinated beverages. A coffeehouse may also serve food, such as light snacks, sandwiches, muffins, cakes, breads, pastries or donuts. Many doughnut shops in Canada and the U.S. serve coffee as an accompaniment to doughnuts, so these can be also classified as coffee shops, although doughnut shop tends to be more casual and serve lower-end fare which also facilitates take-out and drive-through which is popular in those countries, com ...

18th-century Newspaper Publishers (people)
The 18th century lasted from 1 January 1701 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCI) to 31 December 1800 (MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the Atlantic Revolutions. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures. The Industrial Revolution began mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. The European colonization of the Americas and other parts of the world intensified and associated mass migrations of people grew in size as part of the Age of Sail. During the century, slave trading expanded across the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, while declining in Russia and China. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolut ...

Around the same time, Europe saw the " emergence of rich merchants." This "rise of the merchant class" came as Europe "needed a middleman" for the first time, and these "burghers" or "bourgeois" were the people who played this role.

Elizabeth Pue
Elizabeth Pue (''fl.'' 1722 - 1726) was an Irish newspaper publisher, bookseller, and proprietor of Dick's Coffee House. Biography Following the death of her husband, Richard Pue in 1722, Elizabeth Pue took over the publishing business and running of their coffee house, Skinner's Row, Dublin. She continued to publish her husband's newspaper, ''Pue's Occurrences'', with Cornelius Carter along with one other work. Their relationship was damaged when Carter sold a successful "fam'd royal eye water" until Pue started selling a similar product, with Pue publicly questioning the reliability and strength of Pue's product. Under her, ''Pue's Occurrences'' became politically aligned with the sitting government, with Pue receiving payment in secret from Dublin Castle "for advertising in her news paper 4 sev'l times against Harding the printer" in June 1723, calling for his arrest for publishing pro-Jacobite propaganda. Pue ceased working for the family business by 1726, with her son Ric ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dick's Coffee House
Dick's Coffee House was a significant Irish coffeehouse in the 17th and 18th century. Dick's was one of Dublin's most famous and long-lasting coffeehouses, established by Richard Pue in the late 17th century, at some point before July 1698. Pue was a bookseller and owned one of Ireland's earliest newspapers, '' Pue's Occurrences''. Dick's was housed in Skinner's Row (now Christchurch Place), on the drawing room floor of Carberry House, which had previously been the home of the Earl of Kildare. In February 1708, Joseph Walker, a Dublin goldsmith, bought the site for the considerable sum of £1,010. In the property deeds, it was described as ''"the house formerly known or called by the name of Carbery (sic) House and now divided into Two or more Houses or Tenements..."''.
