Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, and Historical Chronicle, Vol. 98: From July to December, 1828; Part the Second We are now advancing closely on the centenary of our literary existence, having already completed our ninety-eighth year; and we refer with honest pride to the various and important information comprised in so extensive a series of Volumes. On reverting to their ample contents, we may venture confidently to affirm, that no periodical work of the present day can bear the least comparison, whether we consider their variety in general, or their importance in particular. From the first establishment of the Gentleman's Magazine in 1730, to the present period, multitudes of rivals have sprung into existence; and after flourishing for a short season, by merely catering to the ephemeral tastes of the day, they have suddenly disappeared from the arena of Literature, - their very names being scarcely known to posterity; while the Gentleman's Magazine, having higher pretensions than a, m transient state of being, has uniformly been devoted to subjects of a more permanent and sterling character; so that our pages may be referred to with profit and pleasure, even for centuries to come.
