The Ferryhill Literary Association was formed in October 1879. This is the first, and most likely only, issue of a printed version of their magazine. They had previously produced a manuscript magazine used solely at their meetings. This printed version was intended to share their work with a wider audience. The stated aims of the association were to promote thought, to give impetus to literary work, and to afford a field for the full and free exchange of opinions on all questions set down for discussion.
