• "In the opening article, the editor states, 'The paper trade had not been adequately represented in its interests or its requirements,' and that the Review was meant to serve both purposes. The journal was so well received that in January, 1864, it was enlarged to 32 pp., in a coloured wrapper, and continued to grow to the end of that year. Prosperity, however, was only apparent, for in 1865 it was issued quarterly. With February, 1866, a new start was made. It was sent out every month, but in the reduced size, 8vo. The second and subsequent numbers of this new series were published from London. It came to and end in June, 1868" (Couper vol. 5, Feb. 1904, p. 118)
• The editor writes "it shall be our aim and study to chronicle all that refers to the operations of the trade; to give in a clear, intelligible, and succinct manner the improvements in paper-making, and to discuss in a liberal and friendly spirit the topics that are from time to time brought forward" ("Our Intentions," vol. 1, no. 1. p. 1)
