[The Truthteller was discontinued at the end of vol. i. The first number was published Sept. 25, 1824, and the last on Sept. 17, 1825. The publisher and editor, W. A. Andrews, closes his labours with the following remarks: "Having given The Truthteller a year's trial, we feel ourselves called upon, as a matter of justice to our family, to discontinue it as a newspaper. The negligence of too many of our subscribers, in not discharging their engagements to us, and the indifference of others of the Catholic body, to support the vindicator of their civil and religious principles, leave us no alternative but that of dropping it as a newspaper, or carrying it on at a loss." Only two of Crito's papers on Botany were given in The Truthteller, viz. in No. 15., p. 115., and No. 16., p. 123. He probably continued them in The Catholic Friend, also published by W. A. Andrews.

The following extract from a letter signed F., and dated Jan. 4, 1825, given in The Truthteller, vol. i. No. 16. p. 126., recommends the publication, among other works, of a "Catholic Calendar. There should also be a Catholic Calendar, something like The Perennial Calendar, but more portable, and fuller of religious information, in which, under each saint, his or her particular virtues, intelligence, good works, or martyrdom, should be succinctly set forth, so as to form a sort of calendar of human triumphs, such as is recommended by Mr. Counsellor Basil Montagu in his Essays." In a note the writer adds, "This I believe will soon be undertaken." This letter seems to have been written by Dr. Forster.—Ed.]
