ABSTRACT
The LONSDALE MAGAZINE; or, Provincial Repository published three volumes under that title at Kirkby Lonsdale and later at Kendal, Westmorland, in 1820–22. (In 1822 the subtitle changed to Kendal Repository.) Though Lonsdale Magazine was a conservative journal serving an area in which the Tory magnate was Wordsworth’s patron William Lowther, Earl of Lonsdale, I find no allusions to it in the letters, journals, or works of Wordsworth, Southey, or De Quincey, who might have been familiar with it. The single review from it that has entered the bibliographies is the following attack on Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound.
