"The Christian Examiner was established for the purpose of advocating the cause of the Established Church, against the assaults of her incessantly active enemies; of spreading more widely correct views of her doctrines and her discipline, and disseminating her genuine principles. In connection with this object, it was the wish of the Conductors to advocate the cause of Protestantism against the Roman Catholic, and of Christianity against the Infidel; and to seek to raise to the Gospel level the standard of Christian morals." - Preface.
Intelligent essays on the topics mentioned in the Preface quote, as well as missionary intelligence, book reviews, correspondence, news from other Protestant churches, poetry, &c.
This periodical was published from 1825 to 1869, and was founded by Rev. Caesar Otway and Joseph Henderson Singer.
