Attributions of Authorship in the Gentleman's Magazine,
1731-1868: An Electronic Union List
Emily Lorraine de Montluzin
Volume 45 (1775)
- 45 (1775): 13-14. L:
"Mr. Gostling's Reply to W. & D. with some farther Illustrations
respecting Antiquities in Canterbury."
Rev. William Gostling.
[Authorship disclosed in title] [Orig. "W.G."]
-
45
(1775)
14-16
A
"The Flight of Henry de Bourbon . . . [trans.; cont.]."
Rev. Samuel Pegge the Elder.
GM 66-ii (1796): 1081
-
45
(1775)
24
L
"Critical Remarks on the Latinity of Pope's Amor publicus
posuit."
Richard Gough [?] or Rev. John Kynaston [?].
Orig. "Q."; Sherbo 97-a: 128 attributes this item to Kynaston, who (dating from Wigan, Lancs., or from Caerhaes, Cornwall) frequently used the signature "Q."; but the contribution could equally well be by Richard Gough, who also used the signature "Q." many times during the same time period. In the absence of place-name dating or definitive internal evidence, this item is thus assigned tentatively to either Richard Gough or Rev. John Kynaston.
- 45 (1775): 40. V:
"Epilogue, written by Mr. Garrick . . . ['As I'm an artist, can my skill
do better']."

-
45
(1775)
65-66
L
"The Right of private Judgment in Matters of Faith asserted."
Rev. Joseph Robertson [?].
Orig. "Eusebius"; Kuist 82: 139 lists multiple attributions to Robertson (1726-1802) under the pseudonyms "Eusebius" or "Eu---s" beginning in 1786. Since the Nichols family annotators who compiled what is now the Kuist list made no effort at a systematic attribution of items in the GM before vol. 53-i (1783), the absence of earlier attributions to Robertson under the signature "Eusebius" does not militate against Robertson's possible authorship of items so signed in earlier volumes.
