-
Missionary Notices was a monthly journal published in London by the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society. Its full title was Missionary Notices relating principally to the Foreign Missions, first established by the Rev. John Wesley, A.M., the Rev. Dr Coke, and others, and now under the direction of the Methodist Conference. The title was changed to Wesleyan Missionary Notices in 1838.
From about 1820 to 1865, the journal contained regular reports and articles on the work of Wesleyan missions in the Australian colonies, New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji and Tonga. They included lengthy extracts from the journals of missionaries, such as Rev. Joseph Waterhouse in Fiji and Rev. Walter Lawry in New Zealand. In the last decades of the nineteenth century there were far fewer articles on Australia and New Zealand, but reports on Fiji continued to appear, as well as occasional pieces on Tonga and Samoa. Nearly all the volumes contain an index.
