Dennie is best remembered for his series of essays entitled The Lay Preacher and as the founding editor of Port Folio, a journal espousing classical republican values. Port Folio was the most highly-regarded and successful literary publication of its time, and the first important political and literary journal in the United States.

Because of the facts above, I have rated the importance of Dennie higher than before. --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
