A small sheet, openly on a side, read aloud at the tavern because a child did not buy it.
The review
Towne's Evening Post carried the full Declaration on July 6, two days after Congress adopted it. The run was small. The hearing was not. A literate man stood up in a public room and read.
The score is for a paper that took a side and said so. It is not a claim that every line of every issue was fair.

The glance
Industry is the thin one.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
The eight
- 9Industry
A printer's daily labor, on a press that could be seized.
- 9Household
The reader is a town, not a family at a table.
- 9Piety
News, not a creed.
- 9Courage
Printing the Declaration in full was not a neutral act.
- 9Republic
It put the public paper on the side of the break.
- 9Temperance
A paper, not a spectacle. Still a partisan sheet.
- 9Truth
It printed the text. It did not pretend to have no side.
- 9Stewardship
Towns copied one another. One printing became the next town's news.
