   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Harris, Benjamin (1673–c. 1720)

English journalist and publisher. Frequently arrested for his activities as a publisher, he fled from England to America in 1685 and set up a bookstore in Boston, Massachusetts. There he published a popular almanac, the New England Primer, among other books, as well as Publick Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestick (on 25 September 1690), the first American newspaper; this was suppressed after the first issue. In 1695 he returned to England, where he remained active.
