The Magazine Sources for Interesting Anecdotes, Memoirs, Allegories, Essays, and Poetical Fragments...by Mr. Addison: (London 1794-1797) (Studies in British & American Magazines)

The Interesting Anecdotes by "Mr. Addison" are generally identified as a multi-volume miscellany of prose and verse, collected in 1794-97, but the extant volumes dated 1797 are apparently reissues of volumes which appeared earlier. While the listings here usefully document specific borrowings, the data also suggest the way in which literary magazines had become a resource to spur growth in that part of publishing which provided miscellanies and 'judicious selections' to the common reader.Edward W.
