ABSTRACT

The history of the QUARTERLY REVIEW (1809-to date) has yet to be written, not because there is too little information but because there is too much. Hill and Helen Chadwick Shine, “thinking of a history of the early Quarterly Review,” ended up (1949) compiling a valuable list of authors of the articles from 1809 through 1824 (together with the dates by which each issue had actually appeared) publishing this information under the title – The Quarterly Review Under Gifford – that might well have been reserved for the history they had originally envisioned.
