'The Times' is a British daily national newspaper, first published in 1785, and the first newspaper to have borne that name, lending it to numerous other papers around the world, including The Times of India (1838), The Straits Times (1845), The New York Times (1851) and The Irish Times (1859). It is sometimes referred to as the "London Times" or "The Times of London" for distinguishing purposes.

The Times is the originator of the ubiquitous Times Roman typeface, originally developed by Stanley Morison in collaboration with the Monotype Corporation, specifically for its legibility in low-tech printing.

The 1813 issue includes discussion of trade in East-India, discussion of tensions with America, and discussions of negotiations and tensions with Napoleon Buonaparte.

1850s issues discuss relations and tensions with Ireland, the murder of Rev. George Edward Hollest, naval intelligence gathering, the death of the Queen of Belgium, and the Doddinghurst murders.

The 1871 issue contains a large issue titled 'Civil War in Paris', and discussion of 'The Slave Trade on the White Nile'.

Times Newspaper ink stamps to twelve of these issues.
