Item description from seller

1963, 238pp, index. VG in G+ dj. Zenger (1697-1746) was a German born American printer and journalist. After coming to America in 1710, he established the New York Weekly Journal to oppose the policies of the provincial government. He was brought to trial for seditious libel (1734-1735) and defended by Andrew Hamilton and acquitted. The decision in this landmark case eventually helped to establish freedom of the press in America.
