The Atlas (newspaper)
The Atlas[Temperance movement|] was a weekly newspaper published in England from 1826 to 1869.
History
The newspaper was founded by Robert Stephen Rintoul in London in 1826. Describing itself as "a general newspaper and journal of literature", The Atlas initiallydistinguished itself from its rivals both by the size of paper it used and by its price. The price was gradually reduced. In the late 1850s, publication was taken over by the United Kingdom Alliance, a
Manchester-based
pro-temperance organization. The title was changed to The Englishman between 1862 and 1865, before reverting to The Atlas. During 1869, the final year of its operation, its name changed to The Atlas and Public Schools Chronicle and finally The Public Schools Chronicle for the remainder of that year.
