Launched in 1855 as an affordable newspaper (it quickly cut its price to a penny), by 1876\u00a0The Telegraph<\/i> was the largest-selling newspaper in the world, with a circulation of 300,000. The newspaper was directed at a wealthy, educated readership and is commonly associated with traditional Toryism, despite its more “liberal” beginnings. The Telegraph Historical Archive<\/strong> allows you to full-text search across 1 million pages of the newspaper’s backfile from its first issue to the end of 2016, including issues of the Sunday Telegraph<\/em> from 1961.<\/p>\n
