n, 18, Bull Street; weekly, four pages, price 7d., but
in the following September lowered to 4-1/2d., the stamp duty of 4d.
being at that time reduced to 1d. In politics it was Liberal, and a
staunch supporter of the Dissenters, who only supported it for about two
years.
_Radical Times_.--Came into existence Sept. 30, 1876, but being too
rabidly Radical, even for "the 600," whose leading-strings it shirked,
it did not thrive for long.
_Register or Entertaining Museum_.--With the prefix of the town's name,
this monthly periodical lived one year from May 10, 1764. This was one
of the earliest London-printed country papers, the only local portion
being the outside pages, so that it suited for a number of places.
_Reporter and Review_.--Principally devoted to the doings on the local
stage, and published for a brief period during June, &c., 1823.
_Saturday Evening Post_.--A weekly "make-up" from the _Daily Post_ (with
a few distinctive features) and came into being with that paper; price
1-1/2d. Originally issued at noon on Saturday, but latterly it has
appeared simultaneous with the _Daily_, and is known as the _Weekly
Post_, its price lately having been reduced to 1d.
_Saturday Night_.--First published, Sept. 30, 1882.
_Saturday's Register_.--Another of George Edmunds' political papers,
which appeared for a few months in 1820.
_Spectator_.--A literary and dramatic monthly, of which seven parts were
published in 1824.
_Sunday Echo_.--First number came out May 21, 1882.
_Sunday Express_.--Started August, 1884, and died August, 1885.
_Sunday Telegram_.--Started May, 1883.
_Sunrise_.--Rose Nov. 18, 1882, at the price of one-halfpenny, and
lasted a few weeks only.
_Tattler_.--April 1817 saw the first appearance of this
tittle-tattle-tale-telling monthly tease to all lovers of theatrical
order, and August saw the last.
_Theatrical Argus_.--Of May and following months of 1830. A
two-penny-worth of hotch-potch, principally scandal.
_Theatrical John Bull_.--Published in May, 1824, lasting for the season
only.
_Theatrical Note Book_.--Rival to above in June, 1824, and going off the
stage same time.
_Town Crier_.--This respectable specimen of a local comic appeared first
in September, 1861, and it deserves a long life, if only for keeping
clear of scandal and scurrility.
_Warwick and Staffordshire Journal_.--Though printed here, the town was
not thought capable of filling its columns; a little e
