Attributions of Authorship in the EUROPEAN MAGAZINE, 1782-1826, is a fully searchable database listing all known attributions of authorship for anonymous, pseudonymous, or incompletely attributed articles, letters, reviews, and poems appearing in the European Magazine from its first monthly number in 1782 to its cessation in 1826. Like its contemporary the Gentleman's Magazine, the European Magazine printed articles and letters concerning literature, antiquarian matters, theology, science, biography, and current news, and included monthly department for book reviews, poetry, parliamentary reporting, and theater. Many of these articles were printed anonymously or bore only initials to designate authorship. Professor de Montluzin has used both contemporary and internal evidence to determine the authorship of a substantial proportion of the items appearing in the European Magazine's 50,000 pages.
Attributions of Authorship in the EUROPEAN MAGAZINE assembles the names of 160 men and women who contributed material to the European Magazine during its forty-four year history Among these newly identified contributors are the literary critics George Steevens and Isaac Reed, musician Charles Burney, botanist Richard Pulteney, astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi, and Orientalist Sir William Jones. Among the women on the list are the Della Cruscan poet Hannah Cowley, Eliza Gilding Turner, Mary ("Perdita") Robinson, and the prolific writer of verse and tales Anna Jane Vardill. Several American contributors appear: Washington Irving; the physician Joseph Brown Ladd; the Rev. Timothy Dwight; Congregationalist divine and president of Yale College; the Rev. John Vardill, titular professor of natural law at King's College (later Columbia University) and Loyalist spy; and William Franklin, natural son of Benjamin Franklin and last royal governor of New Jersey.
