History

The paper was first published on Thursday 14 October 1824. It was founded by Robert Wardell and William Charles Wentworth.[1]

The last issue of the paper appeared on Thursday 28 September 1848. Publication of the paper ceased due to "... the large amount of unpaid subscriptions which we are unable to collect, without proceeding to compulsory measures..."[2]

Digitisation

Many issues of the paper have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program[3] (ANDP) a project of the National Library of Australia in cooperation with the State Library of New South Wales.[4]
