American Minerva (1793–1905), founded at New York by Noah Webster, its editor to 1803, as a daily Federalist journal to combat French influences. The editor and Hamilton both wrote series of letters defending Jay's Treaty. In 1797 the name was changed to the Commercial Advertiser, and later editors included R.C. Sands, Thurlow Weed, Parke Godwin, and William L. Stone. In 1905 the paper was combined with the New York Globe to become the Globe and Commercial Advertiser, which in turn was bought by the New York Sun in 1923.
