Description:Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 9: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; Bibliographical NotesWhen the long period covered by the magazine is considered, it will be evident that this volume could not attempt to garner all it contains relating either to special books or literary byways: much has been wilfully omitted on account of the articles having been superseded or having ceased to be of interest or importance; some things have no doubt-been unintentionally overlooked. But the chief difficulty in its compilation has lain in the selection of the best out of the mass of good material; and the pleasure of selecting has been almost destroyed by the pain of rejecting. Much, too, has had to be deferred: this is the excuse for the fact that no notices of mss., with which the magazine abounds, have been inserted, and the same excuse applies to other literary subjects. Biographical notes on writers also have, with few exceptions, had to be rejected, although a glance at Musgrove's ms. Will show that the Gentleman's Magazine is frequently the only source in which a reliable account is to be found, and the constant occurrence of references to it at the foot of articles in the Dictionary of National Biography shows its importance in other cases, but these sections are deferred, not neglected.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
