The Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser. Incomplete files between 1742 and 1788.
The Pennsylvania Packet or General Advertiser. Incomplete files from 1771-1800.
The Pennsylvania Chronicle. Incomplete files from 1767-1774.
Note: The newspapers above mentioned were examined in so far as the rather incomplete files at the New York Public Library and the library of the Pennsylvania Historical Society permitted. Though the files of neither were complete, the seven taken together cover the period studied very well. School advertisements and occasional anonymous articles on education are the chief items they offer, which are of value.
