Henry Sampson Woodfall

Henry Sampson Woodfall

Henry Sampson Woodfall (June 21, 1739 - December 12, 1805) was an English printer and journalist. He was born and lived in London.

His father, Henry Woodfall, was the printer of the newspaper the "Public Advertiser", and the author of the ballad "Darby and Joan", for which his son's employer, John Darby, and his wife, were the originals. HS Woodfall was apprenticed to his father, and at the age of nineteen took over the control of the Public Advertiser. In it appeared the famous letters of "Junius." Woodfall sold his interest in the "Public Advertiser" in 1793.

His younger brother, William Woodfall (1746-1803), a journalist, established in 1789 a daily paper called the "Diary", in which, for the first time, reports of parliamentary debates were published on the morning after they had taken place.
