ABSTRACT
The GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE; or Monthly Intelligencer was published in London from 1731 to 1833 and then continued in three additional series through 1868. It long occupied a special place in the reading of the upper and upper middle classes in Great Britain as a handbook of social information about their peers (by the early nineteenth century, at least, including in that category prominent authors, publishers, and professional men as well as the landed gentry and nobility).
