Preface
Though many members of both the staff and the board of editors worked on the twelve
periodicals in this volume, those who were primarily responsible for preparing the texts
of each, including the introductions, were the following: for Bentley’s Quarterly Review,
the Editor; for the Dublin Review, John A.Lester, Jr. and Esther Rhoads Houghton,
assisted by Lady Nancy Houghton Cumming; for the Foreign Quarterly Review, Eileen
Curran; for the Fortnightly Review, Esther Rhoads Houghton; for Fraser’s Magazine, the
Editor, assisted by Patricia Crunden and Mary Ruth Hiller; for the London Review
(1829), the Editor; for the National Review, Kazuko Dailey and Harold E.Dailey; for the
New Quarterly Magazine, the Editor, assisted by Meredith Luyten; for the Nineteenth
Century, Meredith Luyten; for the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, Walter K.Gordon
and the Editor; for the Rambler, Esther Rhoads Houghton with the collaboration of Josef
L.Altholz and the assistance of Fr. Damian McElrath; and for the Scottish Review,
Antoinette Petersen.
Among those who have aided in various ways with the preparation of the MS.,
including its proofreading and typing, were Mary Ann Bukovitch, Mary Cannon, Eleanor
Clemence, Marianne Durgin, Gail Edmands, Barbara Erskine, Caroline Hatch, Mary
Ruth Hiller, Anne Meixsell, Lindsay Miller, Sheila Morrison, Sydney O’Malley-Keyes,
Elizabeth White.
In England we have been greatly indebted to Anne Byars, Elizabeth Falsey, and Ann
Palmer, our research assistants in London. In various ways the Index is grateful to
Margaret Skerl, recently retired Assistant Librarian, University College, London, and her
colleague, Janet Percival; Jeanne Pingree, archivist of the Imperial College; Henry and
Sheila Rosenberg, editors of the demanding section on nineteenth-century periodicals in
the new Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature; Elisabeth Poyser, archivist of the
Westminster Diocesan Archives; Rosemary Rendel of the Catholic Record Society; Miss
S.J.A.Muir, Director’s Assistant, Royal Geographical Society; Richard Story of the
National Register of Archives; R.K.Brown, Librarian, Writers’ Library; and
T.S.Blakeney of the Mt. Everest Foundation, who gave us crucial information about some
Victorian Alpinists.
Outside of London S.Wright, Esq. of Bures, Suffolk, has taken the trouble to send us
lists of relevant articles in the learned journals. Ian Fletcher of Reading University and
Professor A.W.Coats of the University of Nottingham have kindly responded to requests
for information; and David Collard, University of Bristol, was good enough to publish a
letter of inquiry in the History of Economic Thought Newsletter. J.S.G.Simmons, now a
fellow of All Soul’s and recently librarian of the Taylor Institute, has been an invaluable
and friendly source of material on Russian authors; and Charles C.Nickerson, presently at
Trinity College, Oxford, aided this volume in various ways. At Cambridge Brendel
Whitman Lang has handled our research with skill. Others we wish to thank are Father
C.S.Dessain of the Birmingham Oratory, who has put his knowledge of Cardinal
Newman and other Victorian Catholics at our service; the Abbé Alphonse Chapeau of the
Université Catholique d’Angers, now writing a biography of Cardinal Manning, who
kindly sent us a list of authors marked in the file of the Dublin Review at St. Mary of the
Angels, Bayswater; James Sambrook, the University, Southampton, for his helpful letters
on the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine; Priscilla Metcalf for her careful reading of our
introduction to the Nineteenth Century; Allan J.Rands of Farnham, Surrey, for permission
to examine many cuttings of essays by his grandfather, William Brighty Rands; and
Charles W.Crawford, for sending us annotations in copies of the Rambler at Oscott
College.
In Scotland our chief indebtedness has been, as it was in Index I, to T.I.Rae, Assistant
Keeper of Manuscripts at the National Library in Edinburgh; also to Julian Russell of the
library staff for his highly professional help on Scottish biography. Special thanks are due
to Dr. E.F.D.Roberts, the keeper of manuscripts, for his generous gift of research
assistance in the summer of 1970. Margaret Rae has kindly examined letters for us in the
library. Finally, we are most grateful to the present Lord Bute for allowing us to quote
from the unpublished letters of the third Marquis of Bute, who was the proprietor and in
some degree editor of the Scottish Review, 1886–1900; and to his librarian, Catherine
Armet, for bringing them to the National Library for examination.
From Australia Susan Eade of Canberra sent us an analysis of an unsuspected
collaboration in the Fortnightly Review.
In North America, to mention only a few on whom we have depended, Jack Robson of
Victoria College, University of Toronto, and Robert Tener of the University of Alberta at
Calgary are old and kind friends of the Index. Wilbur J.Smith, Librarian of Special
Collections, University of California at Los Angeles, and J.R.Dunlop, Associate
Librarian, City College of New York, made significant contributions to our work on the
Oxford and Cambridge Magazine. Mrs. David Bonnell Green lent us the papers of her
late husband on J.W.Parker, Jr., editor of Fraser’s Magazine. Extensive research at the
Morgan Library in New York was ably carried out by Nancy Houghton Brown. In his
review of Index I Professor V.C.Knoepflmacher of the University of California at
Berkeley suggested that the final item of any series be indicated by adding a “concl.,”
thus sparing the reader the annoyance of searching in vain for Part IV of a three-part
article—a suggestion we have gratefully adopted. A general note of praise and thanks
goes to Maurianne Adams of Smith College, Robert A.Colby of Queen’s University,
New York, Gordon Haight of Yale, William E.Fredeman, University of British
Columbia, W.Eric Gustafson, University of California at Davis, Robert H.Woodward of
San José State College, California, Edgar W.Morse, University of California at Davis,
William S.Peterson, Andrews University, Edward M.White, California State College at
San Bernardino, H.B.de Groot of University College, University of Toronto, Marjory
Douglas of Coconut Grove, Florida, James Belliveau of the Boston Athenaeum,
Lawrence Evans of Northwestern University, B.M.Langstaff of New York City, and
Frank Fetter of Hanover, New Hampshire. We owe various debts to the scholars, here
and abroad, who made the survey of Victorian periodical writers, editors, proprietors, and
publishers which are mentioned in the DNB, and their chairman, William H.Scheuerle,
State University System of Florida, who made their findings available to the Index.
The chief contributor to Appendix A (Corrections and Additions to Volume I) is
Joanne Shattock who has written the section on the North British Review. Other scholars
