• "The main features of the Circular have remained unchanged from the date of its commencement [1852] to the present day [1874]. A slight change was made four years ago, by which, through the employment of smaller type, a page was secured for making such announcements and giving information of various kinds to the members. This was generally recognised as rendering the Circular more interesting and acceptable, and it is confidently anticipated that the further step in this direction now taken will greatly increase its value as a means of explaining and furthering the principles of the Association, and improving the position of the working printer" (no. 262, July 1874, p.1)
• "The object of its [the journal's] founders was to supply a medium by which such information as was felt to be necessary by members of the various branches could be laid before them in a correct and accurate form" (no. 262, July 1874, p.1)
