Volume containing nos. 1-9 of the Comet epistolary periodical published by George Middleton. Middleton's 1884 preface for no. 1: "The Comet, as implied by the name, will only appear at unstated times. Articles for various reasons inadmissible to the local press on subjects of passing interest, which it is desirable to preserve, will be produced. The writing may be strong: it will be neither spiteful nor malicious."
