Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868 The inscriptions and epitaphs, often quaint and singular, besides being valuable as part of the history of the locality, have been printed in this volume pretty fully. I have erred on the side of giving too much, and fear that in the succeeding volumes I must place greater restrictions upon myself. Local charities, gifts of almshouses, bene factions of various kinds are recorded in these inscriptions, and these are of some considerable importance to the present day, when so much attention is being paid to the question of funds devoted to charitable purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 19: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; Part Vi., English Topography (Kent-Lancanshire) The amusing traditional story told on p. 73 apropos of the birth of four children at one time is well worth repeating. A boy having been sent to the vicar to come to baptize a parcel of children, he inquired how many there were; the boy answered, three when he came; but God knows how many there may be before you get there. The county of Kent included in this volume is shorn of that part which is now included in London. This is a matter of convenience rather than of history. By this means we get the whole of London' together in one volume, and readers will readily forgive, a part of Kentish history being incorporated in that of the capital of the empire. Each paper is printed exactly as it stands in the original, so as to preserve the form as well as substance of the descriptions given, and references to illustrations are retained. A list of the papers omitted is given at the end of each county, as well as a table of references to other volumes of the series which contain descriptions of county antiquities. However much it may be desired, it is not possible to add notes in illustration or extension of the text.

Book excerpt: 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 Notes When 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 3: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; Popular Superstitions This volume to some extent forms a second volume to that on Manners and Customs. I have had to refer on several occasions in the following pages to the papers printed there, and it has been often times difficult to determine the best arrangement for the undigested mass of material which the correspondents of the Old Gentleman's Magazine so constantly forwarded. That this material is valuable there cannot, I think, be a doubt; and I trust that the arrange ment of it in these volumes of collections may be found adequately to preserve it in the most accessible form for the use of students. I must express my deep gratitude toxthe many kind correspondents who have forwarded me suggestions and corrections, and have helped me in many ways and particularly I have to thank Mr. R. H. Luard for a list of errata which he has discovered in the two preceding volumes of the series. This list will be printed, and I shall be most happy to receive any assistance of this sort, so that the books may become of that permanent value which I claim {or them, and seek to make them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 271: July to December, 1891 Thus it had gradually attained to an antique and picturesque appearance; sundry warehouses, for example, had fallen into decay on the river's bank, and at low tide showed black misshapen limbs, On which the green seaweeds, like an evil disease, festered in spots. The houses rose up tier above tier, from the very brink Of the river to the full height Of the hill behind, red-tiled for the most part, with curious tall and crooked chimney-stacks that reminded the stranger Of a foreign town here and there a gable end had fallen in, and the irregular outline Of its ruin added to the general effect Of the whole. Down by the quayside, and along the lower length Of the town, ran a curiously narrow and curving road, that but barely admitted the passage Of a cart.

I have not altered the text in any way except to correct a manifest error here and there in the original print, and to omit some passages of no moment where the writers thought 'a little sentiment in Johnsonian phraseology would illumine the facts they wrote about. Also some of the longer and uninteresting inscriptions are left out, and Scriptural and other quota tions not bearing upon the text of the inscriptions. These omissions are indicated in the usual manner, or by a statement to that effect in a note or in square brackets.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 28: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; English Topography, Part XV. (London Vol I.) Altogether, I cannot but think these collections will be of consider able value to the London historian and those who care to read about the great capital city. The original material, scattered through some 250 volumes of closely-printed matter, cannot be said to be easily accessible. It will be necessary, of course, to read the articles with caution, for Opinions are sometimes stated upon data not always correct, and very frequently long since supplemented by more recent and accurate research and discovery. It was not possible to indicate or correct these points by notes. All that is aimed at is to bring before the modern Londoner what was written about London in the days when the Gentleman's Magazine was the recognised means of giving to the public information about matters of current importance. Often times as eye-witness of the event recorded, generally as visitor to the place described, these writers sent up their contribution to the great magazine, and it is thus that their writings are of special value.

Beowulf may be considered our national epic, but it does not stand to English people like the N ibelungen to the Germans, the Sagas to the Norse, the Kalewala to the Firm, the Iliad and Odyssey to the old Greeks, the Pentateuch to the Hebrews, the Vedas to the Hindu, nor like the Ossianic cycle to the Scottish and Irish. The Arthurian cycle of tales is the nearest approach to being national in its characteristics; and Professor Sayce agrees with Mr. Coote that the main figure of these stories was Artorius, a Roman general. Is it then that the Roman conquest uprooted the Celtic legends and overshadowed the later Teutonic legends? Such a question may well be asked of students of English traditional lore; for the only alternative is, that, just as Cicero had to lament the loss of the old national legends and stories of the Romans (see Cicero, In Brutum, so have we to lament that science has been so laggard in her recognition of the value of this important branch of materials for English history, that the opportunity has irretrievably passed away for its recovery.
