As a proof of the exertions made by a young periodical to merit public approbation, and be able to say, in the language of the poet,
“’Tis not in mortals to command success, But we’ll do more, Sempronius,
we’ll deserve it.” |
The list of journals subscribed for and ordered for the “Literary Gazette:”—
1. The Morgenblatt (morning paper). A literary paper, published almost daily, in half a sheet 4to. This paper had three supplements. 1. Relative to the fine arts; 2. Literature generally, reviews of new works; 3. Literary advertisements.
2. The Gazette for the Polite World (Elegante Welt). Five times a-week, half-sheet, 4to; containing tales, anecdotes, and correspondence relative to literature, the arts, the drama, &c. Almost all our articles relative to the literature of the north and of Greece, numerous anecdotes, &c. were derived from this journal.
1. Journal des Savans, monthly.
2. Bibliothèque Universelle (Genève). Consisting of two divisions, one literature, the other arts and sciences. The former contained copious extracts from new books, mostly voyages and travels, novels, history, &c. It was from this that the “Literary Gazette” had many valuable articles.
The Bibliotheca Italiana came pretty regularly for some time, but fell much into arrear.
