The Monthly Review

The Monthly Review was a periodical published in London in the 18th and 19th centuries. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

The Monthly Review began in 1749. The first series ran 81 volumes. A second series began in 1790 and ran 108 volumes. A third series began in 1826. In 1831, the volume numbering restarted at 1 at the beginning of every year; this is sometimes considered a fourth series (with volumes in some libraries numbered continuously from 1831). The Monthly Review ceased publication in 1845.
