In January 1956 shortly after the\u00a0establishment of the Palm Society in 1955, our founder, Dent Smith, prepared the first part of a Bulletin that was circulated to all subscribing and prospective members.<\/p>\n

The Bulletin was mimeographed on 8\u00bd by 11 in. paper, simply stapled in one corner. The first part ran to 12 pages of text, written\u00a0and edited entirely by Dent Smith himself,\u00a0and deals partly with Society matters and partly with palm information. From this modest beginning, the Bulletin went on to be published in February, March, April, May and July \u2013 six parts in all, the parts increasing in page length and including short articles by members other than Dent Smith himself. In the final Bulletin No 6, the editor mentions the idea of a proper printed quarterly journal.<\/p>\n

This new quarterly journal,\u00a0Principes, was first published in October 1956. Principes Volume 1 ran to five numbers (October 1956, January, April, July and October 1957)\u037e thereafter Principes (and later Palms) has been published four times a year.<\/p>\n
