The Gentleman's Magazine

The Gentleman's Magazine was a monthly magazine published in London in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th century. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

The Gentleman's Magazine began publication with the January 1731 issue. Over time the magazine had various subtitles, including "monthly intelligencer" and "historical review". It started a new series in 1834, and again in 1868; but volume numbering appears to be have been somewhat inconsistent. It ceased publication in 1907.

Persistent Archives of Complete Issues

• 1731-1777, 1779-1907: HathiTrust has all volumes except for 1778, scanned from various universities. Due to inconsistent volume numbering and multiple series, looking up volumes by date may be more effective than by number. Volumes dated after 1898 may be inaccessible outside the United States; see below for some individual volumes that might be accessible elsewhere.
• 1736-1849: HathiTrust has all volumes from 1736 to 1849, scanned from Indiana University and Harvard University. Again, looking up volumes by date might be more effective than by number.
