The present series of periodical papers was prompted by the so-called “Great
Awakening” a relig'ous movement which about 1734 manifested itself in
New-England as a result of the commercial distress of the time. Jonathan
Edwards and George Whitefield were the principal leaders in this religious
revival, and Matter Byles, Judge Danforth, and Thomas Prince supported the
movement in the “New England Weekly Journal“. (For short notes cf. Winsor,
narrat. and crit. hist, of America V, p. 133 seq.; a Condensed and yet de-
tailed narrative of the “Great Awakening” is that of Dr. Palfrey in his „Com-
pendlous hist, of New England”, eh. 7 and 8.)
As it is well known, a great number of papers relating to the new religious
state of New England were sent about that time from America to England,
particulary to Scotland. The present periodical publication may be regarded
as one of the chief English contributions to the controversy. The editor is
James Robe (1688—1753), a Scottish presbyterian devine. He was on the
side of the new movement, and his parish of Kilsyth was signalised by a
similar religious revival (cf. Dict. of Nat. Biogr., vol. 48, p. 341).
The greater pari of Robe’s publication is devoted to the progress of the above
named religious movement in America, of which a most interesting coti-
tinuous account is given, partly by reprinting letters that had come from
America. It must be left to a more detailed study to make out, how many-
of these documents nave not been published in other papers of the tiinei
No. 5 and 6 (1744) contain a comprehensive account of Scot’s mission to the
Indians.
This periodical may Claim to be one of the very earliest to relate
al most exclusively to American affairs. Its great rarity
may best be accounted for by the fact that only so many numbers were
printed as were subscribed for (cf. April-Number p. 27). As the periodical
came out in numbers of a very small compass (for the most part two
sheets in octavo size — 32 pages) there is every reason to suppose that
most copies went astray. In this respect it is interesting to note that even.
the biographer of James Robe in the Dict. of Not. Biogr. was only aware
of the exislence of the first 6 numbers (1743—44).
Pur copy comes from the library of the Earl oftCrawford, one of the
greatest book-collectors of the last Century, and contains the whole set with
the exception of no. 4 (July) and no. 9 (December) of 1745, and some pages
missing in no. 8 (p. 257—262?). Otherwise the copy is quite complete as it
is evidenced by the following collation:
No. 1 (Nov. 1743) = 64 pp. — No. 2 (Dec. 1743) = 64 pp. — No. 3 (Jan. 1744) ==
64 pp. — No. 4 (Febr. 1744) = 60 pp. — No. 5 (March, April etc. to August
1744) = 68 pp. — No. 6 (Aug.-Dec. 1744) = 68 pp. — No. numbers for
January to March 1745 appear to have been published, for the new year
begins with. No. 1 (April 1745) = p. 1—28; No. 2 (May 1745) = p. 29—60; No. 3
(June 1745) = p. 61—92; No. 4 (July 1745) = p. 93—124 (this number is
missing in our copy); No. 5 (August 1745) — p. 125—156; No-6 (Sept.
1745) = p. 157—188; No. 7 (Oct. 1743) = p. 189-220; No. 8 (Nov. 1745) =•
p. 221—?. (Our copy breaks off with p. 256); No. 9 (Dec. 1745) is missing
in our copy. — The numbers of year 1745 are printed in a smaller type
than those of the preceding year1; and there are no special title-pages to
each number published (cf. April-Number 1745 p. 28).
The copy is in a very good state of preservation. In three places correctionsl
and caneellations have been made by a Contemporary band.
