On this day in1877, the publication Scientific American
enthuses about Thomas Edison‘s new invention: the
phonograph, a way to record and play back sound.

Calling it a "wonderful invention," the article describes
the machine’s capability: "…whoever has spoken or
whoever may speak into the mouthpiece of the phonograph,
and whose words are recorded by it, has the assurance that
his speech may be reproduced audibly in his own tones long
after he himself has turned to dust.

The Saturday Evening Post was first published in 1821 in the
same printing shop at 53 Market Street in Philadelphia, where
the Benjamin Franklin-founded Pennsylvania Gazette was
published in the 18th century.

During the 1890s, publications were inserted into Joseph
Pulitzer‘s New York World and William Randolph Hearst‘s
New York Journal.

In November 1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the New
York Journal from 1896 to 1937, launched Hearst’s
Sunday magazine, later commenting, "Nothing is so
stale as yesterday’s newspaper, but The American
Weekly may be around the house for days or weeks
and lose none of its interest."
