established May 6, 1835, by James Gordon Bennett. The price was one penny, and the first numbers were printed on a four page paper 30x24. The Herald was a lively competitor with the Sun for the support of the masses. From its beginning a specialty was made of shipping news. The editor proposed that the Herald should be an independent journal. The price was afterward raised to three cents.
