History

[edit]

Originally a weekly newspaper intended as a general paper for British servicemen stationed in Malta, it later began to be issued daily. It took on a political stance after 1901, when it began to publish pro-British and imperialist contributions by Gerald Strickland.[2]

Its issue no. 1510, published on 26 June 1897 and price three pence, was printed on silk, commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria and reporting a day-by-day account of the local celebratory events, extending from Saturday to Tuesday, 19 to 22 June.[3]
