THE GE^^TLEMAK'S MAGAZINE 



AND 



An Historical Magazine has long been the great desideratum of our literature. Amongst many periodical publications, each 

 appealing to some peculiar or exclusive class, no one has given special attention to that branch of knowledge which engages the 

 feelings of* all classes. 



The Oenti.eman's Mag/izine has stepped forward to occupy this vacant post. Arrangements have been cfTected to secure for its 

 pages contributions from gentlemen eminently conversant with Uie various branches of historical study, and every endeavour is made 

 to render it a WOHTHY organ and 1!epke.sentative of Historical as well as or ARCH.soLoiiicAL Literature. In its Oiiiginal 

 Articles, historical questions are considered and discussed ; iu its Reviews, prominent attention is given to all historical books ; its 

 Historical Chronicle and Notes of the Month contain a record of such recent events as are worthy of being kept in remembrance ; 

 its Obituary is a faitlilul memorial of all persons of eminence lately deceased ; and these divisions of the Magazine are so treated 

 and blended together as to render the whole attractive and interesting to all classes of readers. 



Every Number is illustrated by several Pl.ites and Vignettes. 



Seven Numbers of the new undertaking are before the public, and present a fair example of what the work will henceforth be. 



The following important subjects have been treated of in some of the recent articles : — 



History of the first appearance of the Gypsies in Europe. 



Curious Deductions from the History of our most common Eng- 

 lish Words, as illustrative oi the Social Conditions of our Anglo-
