John Peter Zenger
Creator
Parrish, George I., 1930-1992
Summary
An American colonial printer and publisher, John Peter Zenger, was the defendant and focal point in a famous trial which established the first significant victory for freedom of the press in America. As publisher of the New York Weekly Journal, he was accused of printing libelous statements about the colonial government. His attorney, Andrew Hamilton, argued that Zenger's allegations were true and therefore not libelous. The jury accepted Hamilton's thesis and freed Zenger. This momentous verdict established truth as the criterion in all future American libel suits.

Summary
Europe's earliest Christian paper mill was established at Fabriano, Italy in 1293. In the manufacturing process, pulp was made from partially decomposed linen or cotton. This cloth was washed, pounded with massive stones or iron pestles and placed into tubs of water. The pulp was then transported to a platter-like sieve through which the water was drained but the pulp held eve. The sieve's frame was removed and the pulp was shaken evenly, integrating the fibers. Finally, the wet pulp was dried by the sun into paper.
