Abstract
In the last issue of the weekly Anti-Jacobin in July 1798, a footnote announced:
A NEW MAGAZINE AND REVIEW is already advertised, under the same name which we had adopted, and professedly on the same Principles. We have no knowledge of the undertaking, but from report, which speaks favourably of it; but we heartily wish this, and every work of a similar kind, a full and happy success.1
