Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bibliography of Arbroath Periodical Literature and Political Broadsides In its nature, the periodical press is very ephemeral. Of the many million copies annually thrown off, how few attain to the dignity of preservation. Newspaper editors, and a few of their antiquarianly-inclined subscribers, file and bind their papers, but, as a rule, the many million copies of our dailies and weeklies find themselves old, worn-out, and cast aside ere they attain the age of twenty-four hours. Of an immense number of periodicals which, during the last hundred years or so, have been born and have died, no vestige remains to tell how they looked or what they tried to teach. It is to be regretted that these should be allowed to pass away without leaving some memorial of their having existed. A history of the periodical press of the nation would be both interesting and useful, but the task of writing such would be a herculean, and, if attempted by a single individual, an impossible one. The work, if ever undertaken, must first be done for each locality by someone possessing local knowledge, without which it would have little real value. In the following pages I have attempted to do for Arbroath, what I hope to see done, in course of time, for every city, town, and village throughout the kingdom, that can boast of a periodical press. When the whole has been accomplished, the work of the compiler of "A history of the periodical press of Great Britain and Ireland" will have become a possible one. The first part of this volume is devoted to the history of Arbroath periodicals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
