Known initially for his ‘Lay Preacher’ essays on manners and morals, he edited the Farmer's Weekly Museum (1796–9) and, under the traditionalist name Oliver Oldschool, The Port Folio (1801–12), a successful pro-Federalist literary and political journal. In 1805 he was acquitted on sedition charges for alleged anti-democratic writings. |
