When stamp duty on newspapers was abolished in 1855, the effect was a rise in the number of publications, and most of the denominational papers in Wales originated around this period. The Baptist "Seren Cymru" ("Star of Wales") launched in Carmarthen 1851, but had a short run followed by a more successful launch when it re-established in 1856. This was followed by the Congregationalists' "Y Tyst Cymreig" ("The Welsh Witness") (1867), the Calvinistic Methodists' "Y Goleuad" ("The Illuminator") (1869), the Wesleyans' "Y Gwyliedydd" ("The Sentinel") (1877) and the Anglican "Y Llan a'r Dywysogaeth" ("The Parish and Principality") (1881). These religious papers were published nationally and reported on home and wider British news, though they also gave leadership on political and social issues.
