Avery also conducted the Old Whig, or Consistent Protestant, a weekly publication, 13 March 1735 to 13 March 1738, his chief coadjutors being George Benson, Samuel Chandler, Benjamin Grosvenor, Caleb Fleming, J. Foster, and Micaiah Towgood
; the collected issue, in two volumes, 1739, is not complete.
In 1728 Avery edited

(reissued 1732-5 and 1743).
