The Coila Repository, and Kilmarnock Monthly Magazine. Volume: Aug. 1817-July 1818

J Mennons, 1818. Hardcover. In August 1817 the Coila Repository and Kilmarnock Monthly Magazine was printed and published by J Mennons. It was sold to booksellers in Kilmarnock, Ayr, Irvine, Saltcoats, Beith and Glasgow. There is no reason given for its demise, but it seems reasonable to assume that despite the apparent wide geographical scope it did not have the wide audience as might be at first be supposed or perhaps due to competition from the more frequent Miscellany. Despite lasting only one year the Monthly Magazine contained much varied information. Each issue began with an article on biography, sometimes the biography of an actual person such as the Abbe Edgeworth (Confessor to Louis XVI of France) or an article along the lines of 'Thoughts on Character ' (September 1817) Then followed varied articles, perhaps travel notes on the customs and peoples of Holland, China or Persia, or essays on moral subjects such as those on ' self-denial ' and ' Gratitude '; there were articles (both fiction and history) translated from French, letters to the Editor, humorous pieces, poetry on various subjects and folk-lore. Each issue contained a 'Foreign Compendium' giving paragraphs of news from various countries and a 'British Compendium' which (depending on their availability) contained births, marriages and deaths, accounts of markets, abstracts from criminal trials, some local news and some general British news. This periodical apart from being a literary magazine, performed some functions of a newspaper. It was more of general interest than The Miscellany which was launched in the same month, and should have appealed to a wide audience, so its demise is even more inexplicable. Tis volume contains the 12 monthly parts complete - apparently all that was published. The book is bound in half leather with a gilt spine and red title label. Index. p.476p. The marbled boards are rubbed with corner wear The spine has been repaired. Uncommon. See scans and email for more. . Very Good
