Benjamin Harris was a former publisher of Whig books, pamphlets, and a newspaper in London. Harris had fled England with his family four years earlier after clashing with authorities for publishing seditious pamphlets, leading to uncomfortable episodes in the pillory and jail. Successful financial ventures, including a Boston bookstore, coffeehouse, and general printing business, soon enabled him to launch his second newspaper. Harris was the editor of the first multi-page newspaper published in the United States, Publick Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestick on 25 September 1690. Harris was also active in community service, suppcdnmbhvweorting homeless shelters and orphanages.
He also compiled the New England Primer, the first textbook in America.
