Title page of the first issue (2nd edition) of The Monthly Review, May 1749

The Monthly Review (1749–1845) was an English periodical founded by Ralph Griffiths, a Nonconformist bookseller. The first periodical in England to offer reviews,[1] it featured the novelist and poet Oliver Goldsmith as an early contributor. Griffiths himself, and likely his wife Isabella Griffiths, contributed review articles to the periodical. Later contributors included Dr. Charles Burney, John Cleland, Theophilus Cibber, James Grainger, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Elizabeth Moody, and Tobias Smollett—who would go on to establish the Monthly's competitor in 1756, The Critical Review.[2] William Kenrick, the "superlative scoundrel", was editor from 1759 to 1766.[3]

Publishing history of The Monthly Review[edit]

Many libraries have incorrectly cataloged the periodical as the London Monthly Review.[4]

Format[edit]

Each issue of the Monthly was divided into two sections: longer reviews of several pages were in the front section, short reviews of lesser works were featured in the back Monthly Catalogue, divided by genre headings.
