Australian Town & Country Journal Cover page 1870

Australian Town and Country Journal was a weekly English language broadsheet newspaper published in Sydney, New South Wales, from 1870 to 1919. The paper was founded by Samuel Bennett[1] with his intention for it to be "valuable to everybody for its great amount of useful and reliable information".[2]

The paper was known for its diversity in dealing with domestic and foreign news as well as featuring essays on literature, science and invention.[2]

History

The first issue of the Australian Town and Country Journal was published on 8 January 1870 and ran until 25 June 1919. After 2 June 1878, when Samuel Bennett died, publication of the paper was taken over by his sons, Frank and Christopher.[2]

Digitisation

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.[3][4][5]
