First edition. 8vo, pp 237 [3] (index), 350 (2] (Index), page 350 misnumbered 352. Original boards on paper spine, as issued, uncut, paper spine largely deficient. Armorial bookplate of Hugh Rose of Kilraick, 1709. Occasional foxing in second part, and staining to lower margin 209-220 (not affecting text), otherwise very clean indeed. An unsophisticated example. The Impartial Review was a direct continuation of the General Magazine , and there would appear to have been only these two issues published. Bellamy and Robarts were religious and literature publishers (they produced an edition of Shakespeare). This appears to have been their attempt at a wide survey of literature, and includes lengthy reviews of Burke, Boswell s Life of Johnson (later (page 1; 161), Boswell is accused of borrowing without making due acknowledgement), Pindar, Rousseau, Anacharsis, Marmontel, Charlotte Smith, Dibdin, Elvina, Rights of Man, and so on, including religious subjects, travel and topography. An unusual and rather interesting item that would repay further study as to the contemporary reception of eighteenth-century literature.
