New Series

The Church Association monthly journal is now titled “The church intelligencer – A Record of Work in Defence of the Protestant Principles of the Established Church”. The new edition presents a larger format and carries advertisements. It assumes a new numerical sequence – starting again as Volume I – with its first issue in April 1884. The Objects of the Association remain as before in their entirety. This new presentation is thought to have been the work of the newly-appointed Secretary

Each issue carries ‘preface’ pages which contain a list of the Association’s “Tracts for the Time” and details of subscriptions to both the General and Guarantee funds. Notices of meetings of the Association also appear here. Reports of Branch Associations continue to be included. Each issue is still priced at one penny.

The details are taken from the bound copies of the journal.
