the publication ceased." There is, however,
in my possession what I think is the second
volume of the same magazine, the title-page
of which unfortunately is missing. It ir
called :
6 . " The Ram bier's Magazine , or Man of Fash ion 's Companion. Vol. II. 1823."
It was published at No. 9 Castle Street, Leicester Square, also, I presume, as in- dicated at p. 262, by Benbow, " the Radical cobbler.' ' It ran from January to December, 1823.
A few years later another magazine appeared with the same title :
7. " The Rambler's Magazine, or Frolicsome Companion .... Vol. I. 1826."
The first number appeared in August, 1826. The title-page of my copy is missing. It was published by W. Dugdale* at No. 23 Russell Court, Drury Lane, and ran, at all events, into ten numbers, that of June, 1827, being the last I have seen.
In spite of their coarseness these magazines are invaluable to students of the period, supplying as they do a wealth of biographical information that cannot be found elsewhere. The Covent Garden Magazine (1772-4), the original Rambler's Magazine (1783-90), and the original Bon Ton Magazine (1791-5), almost cover the last quarter of the eighteenth century, and reveal a most varied picture of the times. Their importance, in casting a light upon our social history, cannot be denied, and they should not be disregarded because of their obscenity. As Taine ob- served to Mr. J. E. C. Bodley : " II n'y a pas de mauvais documents."
