THE
POEMS OF PHILIP FRENEAU
In February, 1790, Freneau left the sea and settled down in the employ of the New York Daily Advertiser. During the next seven years he was successively editor of the National Gazette, The Jersey Chronicle, and The Time Piece and Literary Companion. The period ends late in 1797 when he left New York and went for a time to Charleston, South Carolina.
