Light and Heat

Samuel Neilson played an integral role in the revolutionary politics of the 1790s, primarily as the founding editor of the Northern Star newspaper, described by Walter Cox in 1811 as ‘… a planet of light and heat; its influences were commensurate with its circulation and its circulation was only restricted by the ocean. It warmed the cold; it animated the feeble; it cheered the afflicted; it stimulated the intrepid and instructed all. Pernicious dogmas, false reasonings, slavish superstitions and gothic prejudices, which broke the people into different sects and marshalled them against each other, disappeared before it.’ The Northern Star was published in Wilson’s Court Entry.
