AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Printer and Publisher of the Tasmanian, and Port Dalrymple Advertiser, trusts that a liberal Public will lend their aid and assistance to one whose Father was the first Printer and Publisher of a Newspaper in the Southern hemisphere. Great things will not be aimed at, but the Supporters of the Tasmanian may feel assured, as the Settlement of Port Dalrymple rises into notice, so shall the columns of this humble Journal increase in estimation. The object of the Publisher will be to render the Tasmanian as useful as possible, and never to allow it to be the vehicle of personal attack. It will be conducted on a broad outline, communicating those principles which are certain to benefit Society, by inculcating moral and religious habits, and in giving publicity to all improvements that are likely to add to domestic comfort and rural economy.'
