ABSTRACT
The LITERARY EXAMINER (which ran for 26 weekly numbers in the second half of 1823) was a Saturday little magazine that was inspired by Leigh Hunt and edited by his nephew Henry L. Hunt. It had features of a magazine, continuing Leigh Hunt’s series of essays called “The Indicator” and containing both reviews and “Miscellaneous Pieces in Prose and Verse,” but the only literary reviews that concern us here were all advance puffs for works published by John and Henry L. Hunt themselves — the nine cantos of Don Juan published in 1823 and the fourth number of the Liberal.
