Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Dennie, Joseph, 1768- (search)
, when Dennie became the editor of the Farmer's weekly Museum, at Walpole, N. H., which acquired an extensive circulation. To it he contributed a series of attractive essays under the title of The lay preacher. These gave their author a high reputation and were extensively copied into the newspapers of the country. He went to Philadelphia in 1799, where he was confidential secretary to Timothy Pickering, then Secretary of State. In that place he remained for a few months, and after editing for a short time the United States gazette, he commenced, in conjunction with Asbury Dickens, the Portfolio, at first a weekly, but afterwards a monthly periodical, which acquired a high reputation. In that publication he adopted the literary name of Oliver Oldschool. The Portfolio became the recognized leader in periodical literature, and was enriched by the contributions of some of the foremost writers in the country. Mr. Dennie continued his connection with it until his death, Jan. 7, 1812.
