The Aberdeen Magazine. Vol. II. January-December, MDCCCXXXII.

Descripción

with a lithographic frontispiece, and 1 lithographed plate, annotated by the editor and with letters tipped in (see below), minor foxing, pp. iv, 662, 8vo, contemporary half calf, a bit rubbed and soiled, cracks in joints, sound. This is, apparently, the editor's copy of the second and final annual run of the Aberdeen Magazine, a mixture of whimsy, politics, literary reviews, &c. Apparently, since although no-one else probably would have been in a position to annotate it as it is, the editor is himself identified, as if by somebody else. The contributions are all anonymous. In the index at the beginning the contributors are almost all identified, as they are again at the end of each article, sometimes with a brief commentary, usually piquant. Four letters by contributors and critics are tipped in. One of the most frequent contributors is John Hill Burton, another William Edmonstoune Ayton. One of the latter's contributions is a review of Tennyson's Poems, 1830. Altogether a fascinating picture of the intellectual (rather than Academic: several contributors were advocates) milieu of Aberdeen at the height of the Reform movement.
