Notes
Four separate editions seem to have appeared concurrently; weekly "intended to be a First Class Commercial Paper" containing "shipping and market reports from our own and Sister Provinces" and related items "on British and foreign ports"; tri weekly devoted "to City matters and General News" appeared on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; semi weekly "made up expressly for country circulation will contain everything that may be of interest or importance to our readers." It is not clear if the Daily edition filled yet another need or was obtained by a combined subscription to the other three versions. May have begun as offshoot of "The Christian Visitor", Saint John (q.v.). http://archives.gnb.ca/ResearchTools/NewspaperDirectory/Directory.aspx?culture=en-CA&Key=376&Tab=5.
According to information in the issues scanned, between May 3, 1861 and January 17, 1862 the editions available changed from 3 available editions (weekly or semi-weekly or tri-weekly) to two available editions (daily and weekly). It then changed again between January 17 and February 8 to either a daily or semi-weekly edition.
Microfilm scanned missing issues and some pages.
