ABSTRACT
Benjamin Edes (October 14, 1732-December 11, 1803), along with his partner John Gill, printed one of the most important anti-British newspapers in pre-revolutionary America, the Boston Gazette. Edes and Gill took over the Gazette from printer Samuel Kneeland and published their rst issue of Massachusetts’s second oldest paper on April 7, 1755. They continued to print the paper together until the British occupied Boston in 1775.
