The Toronto Leader was a newspaper published in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the 19th century.[1] The paper was published by James Beaty, a wealthy leather merchant.[2] Its office were located on what is now Leader Lane, from 1852-1878.
An article published in the New York Times, in 1861, called the paper the "recognized Government organ of Canada West".[3] The archives of several other newspapers quote or otherwise reference the Toronto Leader.[4][5][6]
