ABSTRACT
NEW EUROPEAN MAGAZINE, a monthly published in London by John Letts, Jr., from 1822–1824, was another of the new conservative voices that arose in the early 1820’s. Like the New Monthly Magazine, it added the word “new” to the name of a magazine of the opposite political persuasion from that it intended to rival. The unidentified editor of the New European called himself “Percy Somerset,” after the manner of the Gentleman’s Magazine’s “Sylvanus Urban.” The four volumes of the journal contain a single review of Wordsworth and six categorized under Byron.
