Sylvester T. Goss was a printer and newspaper editor and publisher in New Hampshire. He published the New Hampshire Intelligencer.[1] After working in publishing in Boston he moved to Haverhill, New Hampshire, where he founded, edited, and published a newspaper for several years and printed other publications.[2] He published the Evangelist newspaper.[3]

In 1818, he and Abraham Hews Jr., published the Kaleidoscope.[4] In the wake of nationalism that swept across the U.S. after the War of 1812, they reprinted the Novanglus and Massachusettensis letters in a single book.[5] They "obtained from Adams, who at the time was busily exhorting his younger countrymen to apply themselves to the task of writing accurate histories of the American Revolution, consent to publish his side of the correspondence. The end result was Novanglus and Massachusettensis; or Political Essays, Published in the Years 1774 and 1775, on the Principal Points of Controversy, between Great Britain and Her Colonies . . . , Boston, 1819. In addition to the letters, which Hews and Goss reprinted directly from the original newspapers with minor changes in punctuation, this volume also contains a preface and an appendix by Adams. "[6]

In Haverhill, New Hampshire he published the New-Hampshire Intelligencer[7] It was published ca. December 1821 to June 1827.[8][9] His office was home to a lending library.[10]

He published Mary Marshall Dyer's books on Shakerism in 1822.[11]

Horace Webster Morse worked at his office.[12][13] Moses Arnold Dow was also a worker for him.
