A run of the first 24 original issues (of 29) of police magistrate Thomas Walker's (17841836) short lived weekly periodical. Printed every Wednesday between 20th May and 2nd December, 1835, The Original collected Walker's thoughts on a diverse range of subjects, comprising, as stated in the prefatory address: 'whatever is most interesting and important in Religion and Politics, in Morals and Manners, and in our Habits and Customs', with the intention of raising 'the national tone in whatever concerns us socially or individually' and provide 'an alternative diet of sound and comfortable doctrines blended with innoxious amusement.' The third bound work is a rare survival of the first edition of an account of the wreck of the mail boat Maria in which the lives of five Methodist missionaries, two women, and four children were lost off the coast of Antigua in 1826; chiefly drawn up by Mrs. Thomas Jones, the only survivor.
