Douglass then referred, with hope, to the effects which would be produced by increased contact between ths country and America, arising from our abandonment of the restrictive system, mutual exchange of literatures, the holding of meetings such as the National Convention and World's Temperance Convention, and the frequent visits of literary and pleasure-taking tourists.

 An Examination of the Eighteenth Century Newspapers of Bristol and Gloucester
Among the pioneers was William Bonney who in 1695 arrived in Bristol to set up the first printing press in the area, and the oldest surviving copy of an English provincial newspaper is The Bristol Post Boy published by him on Saturday August 5th 1704 3.
The Bristol Post Boy survived until at least December 1715, by which time a rival paper had been set up in the city by one Samuel Farley, a member of a dynasty which was to play the prominent part in the development of the newspaper press in the West (see appendix).
This in turn was re-named Bristol Journal in March 1748, but in 1751 Samuel and Felix appear to have quarrelled violently and split up, Samuel continuing to produce the Bristol Journal, while Felix moved to new premises and set up a rival publication Felix Farley's Bristol Journal, whic h first appeared in May 1752 12.
