AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Melbourne Leader first appeared on 5 January 1856 as a weekly companion to the daily newspaper, the Melbourne Age. In competition with the Argus's weekly, the Australasian, the Melbourne Leader catered to a less sophisticated audience. In 1862 the title was changed to the Leader, a name familiar to many Melbourne readers for the next century.
