Introduction

The following electronic database consists of a compilation of over 1,850 attributions of authorship of items in the Gentleman's Magazine that are identified neither in James M. Kuist's Nichols File (with its approximately 13,000 finds) nor in my first database, Attributions of Authorship in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1731-1868: A Supplement to Kuist (with its some 4,000 finds). The more than 1,850 items in the new database are instead synthesized in one comprehensive supplementary list from dozens of books and articles by other scholars who, over a number of decades, have made their own significant contributions to the identification of the anonymous authors of the GM 's letters, reviews, articles, poems, and staff notes. Currently those additional attributions are scattered through so many publications (many of them out of print or unavailable in small libraries) that it is virtually impossible for researchers working on the GM to make effective use of them or even in some cases to be aware of their existence. As well as I have been able to determine, before the publication of my Supplement to Kuist scholars in search of a total accounting of all known attributions of authorship in the GM would have had to sift through some sixty-seven books, articles, and pieces of unpublished research to find the information they sought. The publication of my first database (which replaced my six articles in Studies in Bibliography ) reduced that number of references from sixty-seven to sixty-two. The publication of Attributions of Authorship in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1731-1868: A Synthesis of Finds Appearing Neither in Kuist's Nichols File nor in de Montluzin's Supplement to Kuist, dramatically reduces that number from sixty-two to three, with the further advantage that users may conduct an electronic search of my two GM databases simultaneously.

Researchers who use the Gentleman's Magazine are frequently under the mistaken impression that, so far as the Edward Cave epoch (1731-54) is concerned, C. Lennart Carlson's The First Magazine: A History of the Gentleman's Magazine (Providence: Brown UP, 1938), Donald F. Bond's "The Gentleman's Magazine," Modern Philology 38 (1940): 85-100 (with its numerous corrections and additions to Carlson), and Albert Pailler's Edward Cave et le Gentleman's Magazine (1731-1754) (2 vols.; Lille: Atelier Reproduction des Th�ses, 1975) have thoroughly accounted for most attributions of authorship that can be made. Such an assumption is far from the truth. Carlson, Bond, and Pailler concentrated overwhelmingly on the GM 's poetry, giving scant attention to the identification of prose submissions to the Magazine . As a result, researchers must fill in the gaps by consulting not only my Supplement to Kuist but also John L. Abbott's John Hawkesworth: Eighteenth-Century Man of Letters (Madison: U of Wisconsin P, 1982) and "The Making of the Johnsonian Canon" (in Johnson after Two Hundred Years , ed. Paul J. Korshin [Philadelphia: U of Pennsylvania P, 1986]) for Hawkesworth contributions; Bertram H. Davis's A Proof of Eminence: The Life of Sir John Hawkins (Bloomington: Indiana UP, 1973) for Hawkins finds; Claude E. Jones's "Charles Woodmason as a Poet (South Carolina Historical Magazine 59 [1958]: 189-194) and Marion B. Smith's "South Carolina and The Gentleman's Magazine " (ibid. 95 [1994]: 102-129) for submissions from colonial South Carolina by Woodmason and John Lining; James M. Osborn's "Dr. Johnson's `Intimate Friend'" (TLS , 9 October 1953, p. 652) for Stephen Barrett finds; Kenneth Monkman's "Did Sterne Contrive to Publish a `Sermon' in 1738?" (The Shandean: An Annual Devoted to Laurence Sterne and His Works 4 [1992]: 111-133) for two Laurence Sterne items; James L. Clifford's "Johnson and Lauder" (Philological Quarterly 54 [1975]: 342-356) for William Lauder and William Brakenridge entries; and Arthur Sherbo's "From the Gentleman's Magazine . . ." (Studies in Bibliography 35 [1982]: 285-305), "John Coleridge and the Gentleman's Magazine " (Bulletin of Research in the Humanities 86 [1983]: 86-93), and "Additions to the Nichols File of the Gentleman's Magazine " (Studies in Bibliography 37 [1984]: 228-233) for numerous supplementary attributions both of prose and verse.

Above all, researchers attempting to piece together an accounting of which items Samuel Johnson did or did not write for the GM during the 1731-54 period (the years during which Johnson was most intimately involved with the Magazine ) must sift through the claims and counter-claims advanced by a variety of Johnson scholars. The obvious starting points are William Prideaux Courtney's and David Nichol Smith's A Bibliography of Samuel Johnson (Oxford: Clarendon P, 1915), the first of the twentieth-century attempts to put together a reliable Johnson canon;1 E. L. McAdam, Jr., and George Milne, eds., Samuel Johnson: Poems (vol. 6 of The Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson [New Haven: Yale UP, 1964]); Donald J. Greene, ed., Samuel Johnson: Political Writings (vol. 10 of The Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson [New Haven: Yale UP, 1977]); and the Johnson entry in The New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (ed. George Watson; vol. 2: 1660-1800 [Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1971]). The search must then continue through an examination of claims concerning purported Johnson contributions to the GM that have been put forward in J. Reading's "Poems by Johnson" (TLS , 11 September 1937, p. 656); D. J. Greene's "Was Johnson Theatrical Critic of the Gentleman's Magazine ?" (Review of English Studies n.s. 3 [1952]: 158-161); Benjamin Beard Hoover's Samuel Johnson's Parliamentary Reporting: Debates in the Senate of Lilliput (Berkeley: U of California P, 1953); James L. Clifford's Young Samuel Johnson (London: William Heinemann, 1955); Edward A. Bloom's Samuel Johnson in Grub Street (Providence: Brown UP, 1957); Jacob Leed's "Samuel Johnson and the `Gentleman's Magazine': An Adjustment to the Canon" (Notes and Queries 102 [1957]: 210-213), "Samuel Johnson and the Gentleman's Magazine : Studies in the Canon of His Miscellaneous Prose Writings, 1738-1744" (Diss.; U of Chicago, 1958), and "Two Notes on Johnson and The Gentleman's Magazine " (Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America 54 [1960]: 101-110); Donald J. Greene's "Some Notes on Johnson and the Gentleman's Magazine " (PMLA 74 [1959]: 75-84); Arthur Sherbo's "Samuel Johnson and The Gentleman's Magazine , 1750-1755" (in Johnsonian Studies , ed. Magdi Wahba [Cairo: n.p., 1962]); Donald J. Greene's "The Development of the Johnson Canon" (in Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Literature: Essays in Honor of Alan Dugald McKillop , ed. Carroll Camden [Chicago: U of Chicago P, 1963]); F. V. Bernard's "Common and Superior Sense: A New Attribution to Johnson" (Notes and Queries n.s. 14 [1967]: 176-180) and "Johnson and the Authorship of Four Debates" (PMLA 82 [1967]: 408-419); John L. Abbott's "Samuel Johnson and `The Life of Dr. Richard Mead,'" Bulletin of the John Rylands Library 54 (1971): 23; Timothy Erwin's "The Life of Savage , Voltaire, and a Neglected Letter" (Notes and Queries 30 [1983]: 525-526), John A. Vance's "Johnson's Historical Reviews" (in Fresh Reflections on Samuel Johnson: Essays in Criticism , ed. Prem Nath [Troy, New York: Whitston, 1987]); and Thomas Kaminski's brilliant work, The Early Career of Samuel Johnson (New York: Oxford UP, 1987), which is rich not only in new Johnson attributions but also in William Guthrie finds.

Certainly one of the central issues in Johnson scholarship concerns the extent of the role played by Johnson in the GM 's printing of the parliamentary debates, which appeared on a monthly basis during the early years of the Magazine under the guise of "Debates in the Senate of Lilliput." GM researchers are familiar enough with the haphazard manner in which the Magazine re-created the debates, relying on the hit-or-miss efforts of Edward Cave and his band of spectators in the galleries to listen attentively to the speeches in the chambers, take surreptitious notes when they could, and later reconstruct the gist of what Lords and Commons had said, turning out a version of the debates that was part summary, part fictionalized rhetorical flourishes.2 Since it was very often Johnson who supplied those rhetorical flourishes, recasting the speeches to such an extent that they were more his own than their nominal authors' words, the duration of Johnson's involvement in the enterprise is of key importance in the matter of assigning attributions.

For a long time the standard authority on Johnson's participation in the writing of the debates has been Hoover's 1953 Samuel Johnson's Parliamentary Reporting: Debates in the Senate of Lilliput . Greene in "Some Notes on Johnson and the Gentleman's Magazine " and Bernard in "Johnson and the Authorship of Four Debates" (both cited above) have attributed some additional debates to Johnson, in particular claiming that Johnson's production of the debates did not cease with early 1744 but extended throughout that year. Kaminski has added further possible Johnson contributions to the debates in his authoritative and extremely detailed Early Career of Samuel Johnson , which has displaced both Clifford's Young Samuel Johnson and Bloom's Samuel Johnson in Grub Street as the best available account of Johnson's early career as a writer for the Magazine .

In synthesizing the attributions of authorship in the present database, I have followed Kaminski in assigning to the Scottish historian William Guthrie the parliamentary debates that appear in volume 8 (1738), with revisions by Johnson, and likewise those in volume 9 (1739) and the beginning of volume 10 (1740), without revisions by Johnson. I have accepted Kaminski's attribution to Guthrie of several of the debates printed in the middle of volume 10 (with revisions by Johnson), that in GM 10 (1740): 530-545 to Guthrie alone, and the opening two paragraphs of that in GM 10 (1740): 579 provisionally to Johnson. Beginning with the debate printed in GM 10 (1740): 585-592 through that in GM 14 (1744): 59-64 Johnson was clearly the sole author, as shown (in the cases of the debates in GM 10 [1740]: 585-592 and 11 [1741]: 2-13) by Bernard and Kaminski and as asserted for the rest of the period by Courtney and Smith in their Bibliography of Samuel Johnson and by Hoover in Samuel Johnson's Parliamentary Reporting . Johnson may also have written the debate on pay for Hanoverian troops that appeared in GM 14 (1744): 64-67 (for which see Courtney and Smith, Hoover, and Greene) and probably contributed that in GM 14 (1744): 119-125. Bernard claims the debates in GM 14 (1744): 125-137 and 175-186 for Johnson as well. Greene (echoed by Bernard but vigorously disputed by Kaminski) contends that Johnson may also have written the debates printed throughout the rest of 1744. I have included those provisional attributions in the database, designating them in each case by a question mark to indicate that scholarly opinion is still unresolved on those items.

As for the contention put forward by Sir John Hawkins in his Life of Johnson that John Hawkesworth succeeded Johnson as the author of the parliamentary debates,3 Abbott in his John Hawkesworth: Eighteenth-Century Man of Letters declares himself unable to decide whether to accept or reject the claim. "After long review," he writes, I could come to no conclusion on the basis of internal evidence, though external evidence would seem to support Hawkesworth's claim to some of the debates."4 In light of Abbott's reservations, I have deemed Hawkins's attribution of some of the later parliamentary debates to Hawkesworth to be too insubstantial to warrant inclusion in the database.

The period following 1754 has likewise seen a very large number of attributions of authorship in the GM that appear neither in Kuist's Nichols File nor in my Supplement to Kuist . Abbott's John Hawkesworth and "The Making of the Johnsonian Canon" (in Johnson after Two Hundred Years ), together with James E. Tierney's "Edmund Burke, John Hawkesworth, the Annual Register , and the Gentleman's Magazine " (Huntington Library Quarterly 42 [1978]: 57-72) and Arthur Sherbo's English Sentimental Drama (East Lansing: Michigan State UP, 1957), have provided researchers with a large number of additional Hawkesworth contributions, particularly reviews. Courtney's Bibliography of Samuel Johnson , Bloom's Samuel Johnson in Grub Street , Sherbo's "Samuel Johnson and The Gentleman's Magazine , 1750-1755" (in Johnsonian Studies ), and Gwin J. Kolb's "More Attributions to Dr. Johnson" (Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 1 [1961]: 77-95) have supplied other Johnson attributions. Sherbo's "John Coleridge and the Gentleman's Magazine " has provided more items by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's father, while Jones's and Smith's articles (cited above) have added several Charles Woodmason and John Lining finds. Sherbo's "The English weather, The Gentleman's Magazine , and the brothers White" (Archives of Natural History 12 [1985]: 23-29) has identified a large number of new contributions to the GM from the meteorological diaries of Thomas Holt White, Gilbert White, and John Holt, while Rashleigh Holt-White (The Life and Letters of Gilbert White of Selborne [2 vols.; New York: Dutton, 1901]) and Robert D. Pepper ("Gilbert White and the `Gentleman's Magazine,'" TLS , 31 March-6 April 1989, p. 339) have supplied a handful of additional Gilbert White items. Pepper has unearthed as well five more Gilbert White finds that have gone unpublished. Robert W. Ackerman's and Gretchen P. Ackerman's Sir Frederic Madden: A Biographical Sketch and Bibliography (New York: Garland, 1979) has added eight Madden attributions; Davis's Proof of Eminence has provided several Thomas Phillibrown, William Gostling, and John Nichols finds; and Kuist's "A Collaboration in Learning: The Gentleman's Magazine and Its Ingenious Contributors" (Studies in Bibliography 44 [1991]: 302-317) has corrected 76 attributions in Kuist's Nichols File , reassigning them to William Tooke the Elder. A series of articles by Arthur Sherbo published in Studies in Bibliography --"From the Gentleman's Magazine . . ." (35 [1982]: 285-305), "Additions to the Nichols File . . ." (37 [1984]: 228-233), "More from the Gentleman's Magazine . . ." (40 [1987]: 164-174), and "Further Additions to the Nichols File . . ." (42 [1989]: 249-254)--plus Sherbo's "The Earliest (?) Critic of the Ireland Shakespeare Forgeries" (Notes and Queries n.s. 35 [1988]: 498-500) have added hundreds of miscellaneous supplementary attributions of authorship in the GM . Additional stray attributions appear in Edward Hart's "An Ingenious Editor: John Nichols and the Gentleman's Magazine " (Bucknell Review 10 [1962]: 232-242); Kuist's "The Gentleman's Magazine , 1754-1800: A Study of Its Development as a Vehicle for the Discussion of Literature" (Diss.; Duke U, 1965), The Works of John Nichols: An Introduction (New York: AMS, 1968), "The Gentleman's Magazine in the Folger Library . . ." (Studies in Bibliography 29 [1976]: 307-322), and "`What, does she still adorn this dreary scene?' . . ." (Eighteenth-Century Life 4 [1978]: 76-78); Osborn's "Dr. Johnson's `Intimate Friend'" (TLS , 9 October 1953, p. 652); Donald H. Reiman's The Romantics Reviewed . . . (9 vols.; New York: Garland, 1972); Gretchen M. Foster's Pope Versus Dryden: A Controversy in Letters to The Gentleman's Magazine, 1789-1791 (Victoria: U of Victoria, 1989); and Sherbo's The Achievement of George Steevens (New York: Peter Lang, 1990). Sherbo in addition has turned up forty John Kynaston attributions and one Samuel Badcock item from the 1770's, finds that heretofore have gone unpublished.

All of the more than 1,850 items in the present database are listed in a uniform format identical to that used in my Supplement to Kuist . Items appear first in a section entitled "Chronological Listing in the Gentleman's Magazine ," with each entry displaying the volume number, page number, and date from the GM citation, the title of the contribution, the author of the piece, the source of the attribution (utilizing a short-title list), and the pseudonym (if any) with which the author signed his work. Each find in the Chronological Listing bears one of the following designations:

L: letter to Sylvanus Urban

A: article, note, or query

R: review

V: poetry

O: obituary

S: staff item of editorial content

Birth and death dates of authors (where available) appear in the Synopsis by Contributor, and fathers and sons bearing the same name are designated by the abbreviations "Eld." and "Yngr." Following the "Chronological Listing" is the "Synopsis by Contributor," which serves as a cross-reference to all of the entries.
