Pacific Appeal, Volume I, Number 1, 5 April 1862; Recommends the The Lunar Visitor to readers

"We enter the field of journalism as the co-adjutor of the Lunar Visitor. There is sufficient room for us both to occupy successfully. The Visitor is a monthly periodical, or more properly speaking, a Magazine, which position we hope it will soon acquire, as we need a representative here in the higher walks of periodical literature, and Mr. Moore is better calculated than ourselves to conduct a publication of that kind.

Ours is emphatically a newspaper—a journal of general information—making no pretensions higher than that. The Visitor should be, (and we know Mr. Moore is capable of making it so,) didactic, ethical, and reasoning. We will be perceptive, sententious and argumentative ; the sphere of each will be in a different direction, and there is space, and we hope patronage enough for both. 

We recommend The Lunar Visitor to our readers as an instructive, useful and well conducted paper, and it is well worthy support. . The Visitor is published monthly by Rev. John J. Moore, No. 321, Union st."
