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
