Check List of Newspapers of the British Isles, 1665-1800 In the American Antiquarian Society HE American Antiquarian Society preserves English Tnewspapers only through the year 1800. Its collection is scattering, except for files of the London Cazette and of the London Chronicle. But some of its provincial newspapers, and some published in Ireland and Scotland, are scarce, possibly unique, and are worth listing. A valuable feature of the list is the recording of the names of the publishers. Only newspapers are included, and no periodicals, of which the Society has an extensive collection. None of the So- ciety's early English newspapers were listed in Crane and Kaye's Census. Of the 112 newspapers here listed, 41 are represented by no copies in this country, according to Crane and Kaye. The Crane and Kaye Census of British News- papers and Periodicals, 1620-1800, contains 970 titles which are located in American libraries, although less than one- fifth are newspapers and over four-fifths aré magazines. Published in 1927 it is still the most useful check list of American holdings. A thorough check list of English news- papers through the year 1800 would constitute a project of much historical and bibliographical value. Although it would require a vast amount of research, time, and travel, its usefulness would surely compensate for the expense involved. C. S.
