The earliest magazines were "The General Maga- zine" and "The American Magazine," established at Philadelphia by Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Bradford, respectively, in January 1741. Franklin's magazine was really the first, as it appeared a month prior to Bradford's, which was edited by John Webbe. These lasted only a few months, and were followed by "The Boston Weekly Magazine" and "The Christian History, " both established at Boston in March 1743. Then came "The American Magazine and Historical Chronicle" at Boston in September 1743, which was the first real magazine to live beyond a few numbers. Between 1741 and 1776 there appeared eighteen magazines, during the Revolution but one was started, and in the period of 1783-1789 there were established sixteen. With the increase of printing presses and the more settled condition of the country in the last decade of the century a large number of magazines made their appearance, as many as sixty-three new ventures being launched between 1790 and 1800. During the entire period, the greatest number of magazines were published at Philadelphia, twenty- eight in all, which was followed by New York with eighteen titles and Boston with seventeen. In the New England States, outside of Boston, there were eighteen, with one in Maine, four in New Hampshire, three in Vermont, two in Massachusetts and eight in Connecticut. In the Middle Atlantic States, outside of New York and Philadelphia, there were sixteen, and there was one at Charleston, S. C. Outside of the three large cities, the largest number was published at Baltimore, which boasted five titles. Most of these magazines, fifty-one in number, were issued monthly, thirty were issued weekly, six bi- weekly and eleven at longer intervals or occasionally. The great majority of the magazines were short-lived, as sixty-eight did not survive one year, sixteen more expired under two years, three under three years, and six under four years. "The American Museum" 332 American Antiquarian Society [Oct., lasted for six years, and "The New York Magazine" and "The Massachusetts Magazine" lasted for eight years. This summary of longevity does not take into account two magazines which were published occasionally, nor does it include publication after 1800. Ford's "Checklist of American Magazines," published in 1889, lists fifty-four titles from 1741 to 1799. The present Checklist records eighty-eight titles in the same period, and ten more which made an initial appearance in the year 1800. Of these ninety-eight titles the following is the record of the location of files in the leading libraries : American Antiquarian Society 70 Library of Congress 66 New York Public Library 57 New York Historical Society 53 Boston Public Library 44 Historical Society Pennsylvania 38 Yale College - 38 Wisconsin Historical Society 35 Harvard College 32
