AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This column continues the argument between the Sydney Gazette and the Sydney Monitor over press freedoms and perceived editorial transgressions that raged between the two newspapers in April 1838. It also contains a response to, in the words of the column's author, an 'excessively bombastical article' published in the Australian newspaper on 18 April 1838 entitled The Disreputableness of Permitting a Free Periodical Press to Become the Vehicle of Personal Altercation.
