The publishers also printed pamphlets including sermons and the "criminal confession" written by David Daggett about Joseph Mountain, an African American man executed in New Haven before a crowd of thousands of spectators. It was sold amongst the crowd and was a popular and influential treatise.

Thomas Green published several of Connecticut's earliest newspapers.

In 1987 the paper was absorbed by the New Haven Register.
