The Athenian Mercury
]
''The Athenian Mercury'', or ''The Athenian Gazette'', or ''The Question Project'', or ''The Casuistical Mercury'', was a periodical written by ''The Athenian Society'' and published in London twice weekly between 17 March 1690 (i.e. 1691 Gregorian calendar) and 14 June 1697.〔(McMaster University - The William Ready Division of Archives and Reseasrch Collections )〕 John Dunton was the editor in chief.〔 Berry, p. 18 〕 A spin-off of ''The Athenian Mercury'', ''The Ladies' Mercury'' was also published by ''The Athenian Society'', in 1693, for four weeks, that was the first periodical published specifically designed just for women.
==Title==
The magazine was first called ''The Athenian Gazette or The Casuistical Mercury'' when it was first printed. Dunton explains in his autobiography ''Life and Errors'' he had an inspiration for the title one day while he was walking home that he would "not exchange for 50 guineas." He continues that a reader of his magazine need only consult Acts 17:21 to see the reasoning behind the title.〔 Dunton, p. 188. (Acts 17:21 ''(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)'' - King James Version, 1611)〕
After the first issue was published, concerns were raised about Dunton's use of the word "Gazette", to which the 25-year-old ''London Gazette'' could be considered to have prior claim; in response, Dunton changed "Gazette" to "Mercury".〔 Dunton, p. 190 〕
