William Livingston, throughout his life, had a rich relationship with writing and print. While he was a prolific writer, himself — often proving himself an impassioned wordsmith in both his personal correspondence as well as in his publications and official government correspondence — he was equally a supporter and proponent for others' publication, going so far as to personally advocate for the establishment of a state-sponsored printshop. Within the two following pages, you can explore Livingston in both of his roles: as a writer himself and as a patron of print.
