Bibliography of Studies of Eighteenth-Century Journalism and the Periodical Press, 1988-2002 This bibliography surveys scholarship published roughly 1986-2004 on journalism, diverse serials (including almanacs), and the periodical press throughout the Europe and the Americas during the "long eighteenth century," approximately 1660-1820. It is most inclusive for the years 1990-2002, in consequence of my compiling studies of that period for Section 1--"Printing and Bibliographical Studies"--of The Eighteenth Century: A Current Bibliography). It focuses on printed publications, but a few electronic publications have been included. For suggestions and corrections, I am indebted to my friend James E. Tierney. In Spring 2003, I learned of many publications, particularly on German periodicals, from Mr. Harold Braem of Hildesheim, who has provided me with titles in his Historische Zeitungen: Privatarchiv der deutschsprachigen Presse des 17.-19. Jahrhunderts. Others, such as Marie Mercier-Faivre, Eric Francalanza, and Charles A. Knight have called attention to errors and overlooked studies. Of course, I am also indebted to many published bibliographies, most especially those by Diana Dixon published in inter-related annual serials: Journal of Newspaper and Periodical History (London, 1984- 1994), Studies in Newspaper and Periodical History (Westport, CT: Greenwood, 1994-1997), Media History (1999-2002). I have also drawn upon Kim Martin Long's checklists in recent issues of American Periodicals, and various annual bibliographies dedicated to literature in specific languages, the most useful being MHRA's Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, with its inclusive chapter on periodicals. I apologize for omissions and errors, and ask, for future revisions, that scholars please address corrections and additions to me at [email protected] or the postal address below. This bibliography was formerly posted on Kevin Berland's C18-L website, but is moved in June 2003 to the Bibliographical Society of America's BIBSITE. I hope that its presence here will support, if only be calling attention to, the Society's William E. Mitchell Prize for research on eighteenth- century British serials. (See the Society's home-page for information on this prize offered to the best book, article, or thesis every three years.) James E.

A History and Annotated Bibliography of American Religious Periodicals and Newspapers Established from 1730 through 1830. 2 vols. Worcester, MA: American Antiquarian Society, 1994. Pp. lxxxix + 1456; appendices; bibliography; index; prefatory explanations. [A monumental labor involving decades of work at over 700 libraries. Following an historical introduction, Albaugh offers his important bibliography describing 590 distinct religious periodicals and newspapers published during the period, noting their variant titles, providing publication information on them (Vol. 1: A-O; Vol. 2: P-Z, plus appendices, bibliographies, and index). James Tierney writes that "Appendix I lists 124 periodical titles garnered from various sources but which Albaugh's research determined were never actually published. Especially valuable are Appendices 2-4, which afford extremely handy tools by which scholars with special interests can negotiate the otherwise daunting 1,077-page bibliography itself. For those requiring access to periodicals and newspapers from a particular year(s), a 'Chronological List of Titles by Years of Founding' (Appendix 2) quickly identifies appropriate titles in the main bibliography. Likewise, a 'Geographical List of Titles by States and Cities or Towns of Publication' (Appendix 3) lists those publications associated with a particular geographical area. For those interested in studying a particular religious persuasion, 'Titles Arranged by Major Religious Interests' (Appendix IV) ranges all entries in the bibliography under headings that identify each publication's raison d'être (Calvinism, Universalism, human service, etc.). The indices are followed by bibliographies of microform catalogues used for the project and of secondary sources. Finally, another valuable resource appears in the 'Index of Editors, Publishers, Printers, Illustrations [perhaps a misprint for 'Illustrators'], and Engravers,' a double-columned 68-page listing of journalists and tradesmen mentioned in the annotation to the main bibliography. A seasoned researcher himself, Albaugh knew the kind of research devices scholars need." Rev.
