Notes
"The unofficial Church of England weekly was founded on May 6, 1837, by the Rev. Alexander Neil Bethune. It was a staunch defender of the privileges of the Church of England, and the Family Compact. It was edited by Bethune until 1846, except for an interval from 1841 to 1843 when John Kent was editor. After 1846 there were a number of editors who preserved the strictly Conservative viewpoint, but who wrote fewer political editorials and gave more space to church, educational and general news."
