| Journalist, born near Lake Champlain, New York, USA. After living in Ireland, where he learned printing, and in India, where he founded an outspoken paper that led to his being deported, he joined Benjamin Franklin Bache's vituperatively anti-Federalist Aurora, which he edited (1798–1822). In 1799 he was tried and acquitted of sedition; charged a second time, the charges were dropped after Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800. |
