1 2 y separately published work icon Hobart Town Gazette, and Van Diemen's Land Advertiser 1821 Hobart : Andrew Bent , 1821-1825 Z1393414 1821 newspaper (2 issues)

The Hobart Town Gazette, and Van Diemen's Land Advertiser is a continuation of Andrew Bent's The Hobart Town Gazette, and Southern Reporter. The newspaper acted as the official government gazette publishing government notices 'under authority' until Vol. 10, no. 477 (24 June 1825) when government authority was transferred to the new official publication, The Hobart Town Gazette, published by Howe and Ross, government printers.

The statement 'published by authority' printed under the title of the Hobart Town Gazette, and Van Diemen's Land Advertiser is replaced on the 24 June 1825 issue with the motto 'fax mentis incendium gloriae', which is itself replaced with the motto 'Not names, but things - not persons, but principles' from 22 July 1825.

The new official The Hobart Town Gazette was published a day after Bent's paper with the same numbering. This impasse continued for seven weeks until Andrew Bent changed the name of his newspaper to the Colonial Times and Tasmanian Advertiser. However, both papers continued numbering in tandem.
