Caledonian Mercury
The ''Caledonian Mercury'' was a newspaper in Edinburgh, Scotland, published three times a week between 1720 and 1867. In 2010 an online publication launched using the name. 17th century A short-lived predecessor, the '' Mercurius Caledonius'', published for just twelve issues in 1660–1661, is believed to have been Scotland's first newspaper. 18th and 19th centuries The ''Caledonian Mercury'' was launched in 1720. Like its competitor ''The Edinburgh Evening Courant, The Caledonian Mercury'' appeared three times a week until 1867. It was less prestigious than the ''Courant'', largely because it was sold by a politically motivated bookseller and because its editors did not include recent news from elsewhere in Britain and Europe. In 1725, during the Scottish Malt Tax riots, rival political factions attempted to use newspapers like the ''Caledonian Mercury'' as their "mouthpieces", as a letter from Andrew Millar to Robert Wodrow illustrates. From 1729 to 1772, it was owned and r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

An archdeacon is often responsible for administration within an archdeaconry, which is the principal subdivision of the diocese.

The office has often been described metaphorically as ''oculus episcopi'', the "bishop's eye".

Bishop Of Ossory
. The Bishop of Ossory () is an Episcopal polity, episcopal title which takes its name after the ancient of Kingdom of Ossory in the Provinces of Ireland, Province of Leinster, Ireland. In the Catholic Church it remains a separate title, but in the Church of Ireland belonging to the Anglican Communion it has been united with other bishoprics. History The diocese of Ossory was one of the twenty-four dioceses established at the Synod of Rathbreasail in 1111 and coincided with the ancient Kingdom of Ossory (Osraige); this is unusual, as Christian dioceses are almost always named for cities, not for Region, regions. The episcopal see has always been in Kilkenny, the capital of Ossory at the time of the Synod of Rathbreasail. The erroneous belief that the cathedral was originally further north at Aghaboe is traced by John Bradley to a 16th-century misinterpretation of a 13th-century property transfer, combined with the fact that the abbey at the site which became St Canice's Cathe ...
