Joseph Dennie (August 30, 1768 ā January 7, 1812) was an American author and journalist who was one of the foremost men of letters of the Federalist Era.[1] A Federalist, Dennie is best remembered for his series of essays entitled The Lay Preacher and as the founding editor of The Port Folio, a journal espousing classical republican values. Port Folio was the most highly regarded and successful literary publication of its time,[2][3][4] and the first important political and literary journal in the United States.[5] Timothy Dwight IV once referred to Dennie as "the Addison of America"[6] and "the father of American Belles-Lettres."[7]
