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.
