Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Covent-Garden Journal, Vol. 1 In this edition of Henry Fielding´s contributions to his Covent-Garden Journal I have omitted two book-reviews which are very obviously not his, but have reprinted all of the leading articles irrespective of their authorship. The accentuation and punctuation of the original have been followed throughout; and with the exception of the substitution of the modern s for the older form and of the separate Greek characters in place of ligatures, no changes have been made in the original text. The presence of rotograph prints of the entire Journal in the Yale Library and the publication of these volumes, now for the first time make a complete text readily available. The most important service which I have rendered to students of the Journal is the discovery of all the folio numbers missing in the British Museum. Another gratifying discovery is the evidence that Fielding was generous with his money at a time when he is supposed to have been in financial distress - witness his support of the Lying-in Hospital on Brownlow Street. In gathering the material which has a direct bearing on the Newspaper-War, I have been able to do another slight service in a relatively unimportant field. Finally, I believe that I have definitely proved that the Z. Z. signature commonly supposed to be Fielding´s is not his.
