The Singapore Free Press, Singapore's second English language newspaper after the Singapore Chronicle, was published for the first time on 1 October 1835. Launched by William Napier with co-founders G.D.Coleman, Edward Boustead and Walter Scott Lorrain, the Singapore Free Press remained in circulation until 1869. It was revived in 1884 by Charles Buckley, bought over by The Straits Times in 1946 and merged with The Malay Mail in 1962.

Hi,
I am trying to locate this article that was mentioned in your website. would you kindly let me know where I could get a copy?
My grandfather was British (Alfred John Buckley) who was born in 1871. He mentioned his brother having to do a great deal of work with the Straits Times. I would be very grateful if you could provide me with some leads on how I could obtain this information.
Kind Regards,
Cindy Buckley James
