WlNN. Aldeburgh, Suffolk. (To be continued.') FORGOTTEN PERIODICALS OF 1830-1833. A COMPLETE collection of very interesting London periodicals has just come into my hands ; it consists of publications between 1830 and 1833, all of which had a very short-lived career and are now for- gotten. Curiously enough they are all of one size, and with the exception of one or two all priced at one penny. Their size is 11 by 9 inches, which has enabled them to be bound up together. The owner of the volume has had it labelled ' Various Penny Periodicals,' which is a misnomer, as the first number is a sixpenny weekly entitled The Cerberus ; or, Tartarean Re- view, No. 1 of the Earthly Edition. Whether it was published elsewhere is not clear, but it appears that only this one number was issued, on May 1, 1830, and twelve copies only sold, the rest being bought up and destroyed, so that it seems clear that it was not really wanted by mortals. It consists of eight pages of scurrilous verse and prose. It was supposed to emanate from the lower regions, furnishing a chronicle of the proceedings there and comments on passing events. It is full of poor punning material and was evidently suppressed, probably by the law. Only ten numbers were published of Punchinello ; or, Sharps, Flats, and Naturals. No. 1 is dated Jan. 20, 1832, price one penny, and the series contains illustrations by Robert Cruikshank. As an inducement to newsmen to order and sell this paper, they were entitled to copies of the wood- cuts on vellum paper if they undertook to order twelve dozen weekly copies. The Weekly Visitor and London Literary Museum first saw light on Jan. 21, 1832, and managed to exist through fifteen numbers. It is advertised to print twenty thousand copies weekly, but the only advertisers were of quack pills and balsams. Several portraits may be traced in the puzzle pictures which were a feature of this publication. No. 14 is missing from the British Museum Copy. A Slap at the Church is a curious title for a weekly periodical. It was published in 1832 at a penny and was illustrated by Cruikshank, Seymour and others. It ran to seventeen numbers and issued a title- page and index. In its valedictory it said it had accomplished its object " to amuse by a little harmless satire " ; its promoters
