Note: A complete set of this important historical publication from its commencement in 1731 until 1898. The Gentleman`s Magazine was founded in London in 1731 by Edward Cave whose innovation was to create a monthly digest of news and commentary on any topic the educated public might be interested in. Indeed, Cave, who edited The Gentleman`s Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine" (meaning "storehouse") for a periodical. Prior its founding there had been specialized journals, but no such wide-ranging publication (though there had been attempts, such as The Gentleman`s Journal, which was edited by Peter Motteux and ran from 1692 to 1694). Samuel Johnson`s first regular employment as a writer was withThe Gentleman`s Magazine which remains an inexhaustible mine of information for scholars of eighteenth century life. From 1731 to 1782 one volume a year was published, and from 1783 two volumes a year. Provenance: c. 200 volumes: Hugh S. Gladstone, armorial bookplates; Society of Writers to the Signet: armorial stamp on sides
