Catholic Penny Magazine


Feb 1834-Dec 1835; publ. by James Duffy.

Prospectus: ‘Will we have no register in Ireland of our hierarchical and clerical bodies, which for antiquity, continuity, and purity can be equalled by few, surpassed by none?’

Further: ‘While Glasgow has three Catholic Magazines, Birmingham one, and Glasgow another, cannot all Ireland with six million Catholics support one?’ (See Barbara Hayley, ‘Irish Periodicals’, in Anglo-Irish Studies, ii, 1976, pp.83-108; pp.100-01.)
