His work constitutes the earliest printing in the Garden State and some of the earliest political attack literature in America. His accusations of Worlds Program T Shirt misdeeds so outraged them that they also called Leeds “Satan’s Harbinger.” To add to the matter, Leeds supported the first royal governor of New Jersey, the infamous Lord Cornbury, a man accused of being loose with the colony’s taxes and a cross-dresser (both, we now know, slanders by anti-government pundits). Eventually, Daniel’s son, Titan Leeds, took over running the almanac and ran squarely into Benjamin Franklin who also published an almanac.
