Franklin
.
§ 5.
The Pennsylvania Gazette
.
Forestalled by Keimer in a project for launching a newspaper, Franklin contributed in 17289 to the rival journal, published by Bradford, a series of sprightly BusyBody papers in the vein of the periodical essayists. Keimer was forced to sell out; and Franklin acquired from him the paper known from 2 October, 1729, as
The Pennsylvania Gazette.
To this he contributed, besides much miscellaneous matter, such pieces as the
Dialogue between Philocles and Horatio concerning Virtue and Pleasure,
the letters of Anthony Afterwit and Alice Addertongue,
A Meditation on a Quart Mug,
and
A Witch Trial at Mount Holly.
In 1732 he began to issue the almanacs containing the wit and wisdom of Poor Richard, a homely popular philosopher, who is consequently not, as has been carelessly assumed, to be identified with his creator.
