Notes
Covers 1808-1810 and 1817-1827. Printed in Freetown, 16 numbers appeared in 1808. The following year Governor Thompson renamed it The African Herald. His successor restored the original title but publication ceased shortly after in 1810. In 1817 it was revived by Governor MacCarthy as The Royal Gazette and Sierra Leone Advertiser, part official gazette and part provincial newspaper. Published two or three times a month, it lasted until 1827 when it was discontinued, an economy measure ordered by the Secretary of State.
Reel starts with an introduction by Professor C.H. Fyfe, Edinburgh University.
From the Royal Commonwealth Society Library and Hull University Library.
