ABSTRACT
The POETICAL REGISTER was first published annually and then biennially by Rivingtons, the high-church publishers of the British Critic (q.v.). Beginning in 1801, the Poetical Register fell farther and farther behind, until the volume for 1810-11 appeared in 1814. Its reviews were generally brief. Like the Annual Review (q.v.), with which it competed, the Register’s comprehensive coverage would have found a ready market among British expatriates in India and Australia.
