Abstract
The Prince Edward Island Register, a politically nonpartisan newspaper, printed local news, international news excerpted from other sources and historical anecdotes. While the proportion of P.E.I, news declined towards the end of the paper's publishing history, the Prince Edward Island Gazette's local coverage at its best included lengthy reports on legislative and judicial activities, and briefer reports on the weather, exports and Charlottetown happenings. Advertisements and proclamations were also published.
