AYSCOUGH, Samuel (1745--1804)
A general index to the first fifty-six volumes of the Gentleman's Magazine, from its commencement in the year 1731, to the end of 1786. Compiled by Samuel Ayscough, clerk, ... In two volumes. ...
London (Place), printed by John Nichols; for D. Henry: and sold by E. Newbery,, 1789.
2 vols ; 20.5 cm. (8°)
I: iv, 494, [2] p.
II: [2], 386 p.
The index is divided into five parts: the first volume contains the index to the essays, dissertations, and historical passages, and the second the indexes to the poetry, names of persons, plates, and books and pamphlets. Only about half the plates are in fact listed, no doubt because many were removed by the original owners of early sets of the Gentleman's Magazine (q.v.), which began publication in 1731 and immediately became the most popular and enduring journal of the eighteenth century: see William B. Todd, 'A bibliographical account of "The Gentleman's Magazine", 1731-1754', Studies in Bibliography 18 (1965), pp. 81--109. Publisher's advertisements on final three pages of vol.
