Joseph Dennie
Joseph Dennie (August 30, 1768 – January 7, 1812) was an American author and journalist who was one of the foremost men of letters of the Federalist Era.〔Massachusetts Historical Society 1879, p. 362〕 A Federalist, Dennie is best remembered for his series of essays entitled ''The Lay Preacher'' and as the founding editor of ''Port Folio'', a journal espousing classical republican values. ''Port Folio'' was the most highly regarded and successful literary publication of its time,〔Spiller 1948, p. 36〕〔Horner 1966, p. 581〕〔Lora 1999, p.108〕 and the first important political and literary journal in the United States.〔Dowling 1999, p. 1〕 Timothy Dwight IV once referred to Dennie as "the Addison of America"〔Lora 1999, p. 107〕 and "the father of American Belles-Lettres."〔Marble 1907, p. 206〕
==Early life and career==
Dennie was born on August 30, 1768, in Boston, Massachusetts to Joseph Dennie, a member of a well-to-do merchant family, and his wife Mary Green, whose father was Bartholomew Green, Jr.〔Ellis 1915, pp. 12-14〕 The Greens were a prominent printing family in colonial America; the progenitor of the family, Samuel Green, emigrated from England with John Winthrop and was one of the first printers in the colonies.〔Thomas 1879, p. 49〕 Having moved to Lexington at the age of seven, Dennie returned to Boston in 1783 to study bookkeeping and later clerk in a counting house. He began preparing to enter Harvard College in 1785, under the guidance of Reverend Samuel West. West had a significant impact on Dennie, fostering his pupil's interest in literature, as well as instilling in Dennie a decidedly pro-British mindset.〔McKerns 1989, p. 178〕
In 1787 Dennie was admitted to the sophomore class of Harvard College, where he was very popular with his peers.〔Clapp 1880, p. 8〕 This popularity did not extend to his tutors, and he was suspended in December 1789 for six months after insulting the faculty.〔〔Clapp 1880, p. 9〕 Dennie had difficulty finding suitable employment after earning his degree in 1790, but by 1793 he was practicing law (though earning very little for his work).〔Clapp 1880, pp. 13-16〕 In a January 1794 letter to his parents, however, Dennie reports that he had been appointed as a reader for the Episcopalian church in Charlestown, New Hampshire. Nevertheless, he insisted that this new vocation would not deter him from his goal of practicing law, though by then he was planning on remaining in New Hampshire to practice rather than returning to Massachusetts.〔Clapp 1880, pp. 15-23〕 Shortly after writing the letter, Dennie was admitted to the Court of Common Pleas and opened a practice in Charlestown.〔Clapp 1880, p. 23〕 However, he rarely appeared in open court;〔Buckingham 1852, pp. 198-199〕 indeed, he probably made only one appearance.〔Ward 1896, pp. 667-668〕
