Of course most of us are delighted to clear up a Wellesley Index mystery or to fill in a Wellesley blank, and usually we want to share our discoveries. However, how often does someone interested in the same mystery or blank find what we have tried to share? The new information is scattered in bits here and there; even bibliographies of Victorian periodicals studies sometimes neglect to mention these articles. An online format, by contrast, can bring all of this information together in a way that can be readily accessed and easily searched.

What follows is both an index to emendations of the Wellesley Index that have appeared in print between 1989 and 2003, and a continuation of those additions and corrections, published here for the first time. I have also included some attributions and other information concerning periodicals that were not originally covered by the Wellesley Index, and welcome information from other scholars about these.

It is arranged alphabetically by periodical title, not in the order of Wellesley volumes, but with a final section of additions and corrections to specific volumes, particularly to the cumulative listing of contributors that makes up volume 5. (I have not included under vol. 5 all changes made in the previous pages, hoping that the search/find function makes some repetitions unnecessary in this on-line format.) I have, I hope, found all additions/corrections published in Victorian Periodicals Newsletter / Review (VPN / VPR) but realize how inadequate are my gleanings from other sources: a few, for example, from N&Q, Studies in Scottish Literature (SSL), The Long Room.

Each successive batch of new additions and corrections – some of them the result of my own research, others generously contributed by fellow scholars – is integrated into the index, with the edition date (e.g., “12/04”) appearing in brackets at the end of each entry. Readers wishing to see only the new entries can access each new edition separately, below, either for viewing online or, for easy printing, as a Word document.

I would appreciate receiving information about any published items missed here, and of course welcome hearing from other scholars about their discoveries regarding hitherto unidentified, or misidentified, contributors to Victorian periodicals.

BentM 924 The divan (No. ii), 15 (Feb. 1844), 211-218. Albert Smith, perhaps with unidentified collaborators. To my comments on the first in this series, #913, in VPR 30 (1997), 320, showing that Smith was a co-author of that, add: In an undated letter to Bentley, evidently written late Jan. 1844 (Bentley Corresp., Univ. Illinois), Smith refers to “The divan” and “The Scattergood family,” both of which began in the Jan. issue, as ongoing features which he is writing. He sends a “squib” for Bentley to use; all the installments of “The divan” can be described as collections of squibs. One of those here takes the form of a letter “To the Gentlemen of the Divan” (217), suggesting that these items continue to be collaborations, as #913 was. Also attribute to Smith, possibly with collaborators, Nos. iii – v, #s 936, 946, 956. [12/04]

Wraxall signed these initials to articles in Fraser’s in 1857 and in Temple Bar from 1862 to 1865. He had contributed 3 articles to BentM in 1851 and 1852, signing the first F.C.W. and leaving the next two unsigned; a few months after this tale he became a regular contributor, signing his articles ‘Lascelles Wraxall.’ This tale deals with gambling, the subject of several of Wraxall’s articles in BentM and the New Monthly. The titles of his first eight or more BentM articles follow a similar pattern: a or the something of or in such-and-such a place. [4/05]

BM: Unidentified contributions and misidentified contributors

Baldwin, Astley Henry. EMC, VPR 26 (1993), 184.

Boteler, Miss Maria. Of Tonbridge Wells. Perhaps verse. EMC VPR 36 (2003), 361.

Campbell, Harriette, 1817-1841. The Literary Gazette, 13 March 1841, p.170 (copied by Gentleman’s Magazine, May 1841, p.544, and by the ODNB) claimed that ‘several’ of her ‘Legends of the Lochs and Glens’ appeared in BentM and that these were inspired by family summers in the Highlands and by her admiration ‘of the character and occupations of its inhabitants.’ No such articles appear in BentM, no other periodical with ‘Bentley’ in its title was published during or shortly after her lifetime, she does not appear in any of the indices to the Bentley Archives, and neither the British Library nor the National Library of Scotland records a book of this title. The NLS does list Tales about Wales; a catechism of Welsh history, by Harriette Campbell and edited by Capt. Basil Hall, 2nd edition published in Edinburgh in 1837. The subject seems unlikely for this Stirling woman; no one else mentions the work, not even the anonymous writer in The Literary Gazette, who provides many personal details and sounds in love with her. [4/05]

Darley, George, 1795-1846. Anne Ridler, in her notes to Selected Poems of George Darley (London: Merrion Press, 1979), 246, wrongly attributes to Darley poems signed ‘G. D.’; the ODNB expands this into a claim that Darley ‘contributed verse and short stories to Bentley’s Miscellany’ in the 1840s. ‘G. D.’ actually was George Dubourg, whose contributions are identified in Receipts in Bentley Corresp., Univ. Illinois; see Wellesley for the prose and, for the verse, EMC, VPR 32 (1999), 103-159. Nothing links Darley to BentM.[4/05]

Dibdin, Thomas John. EMC, VPR 34 (2001), 351.

Fullerton, Lady Georgiana. Apparently an additional contribution 1838-early 1839. EMC, VPR 30 (1997), 328. [8/06]

Howitt, Mary Botham. Claimed ‘an article in the Miscellany’ (Receipts 51); none identified so far. EMC, VPR 30 (1997), 328. [8/06]

Postans, Robert Raxter. May have contributed more than has been identified. In applying for RLF aid (case 2132), he said that he turned from writing tales of adventure and travel (like his early BentM contributions) to considering ‘the condition of our seamen both in the Commercial & Royal Navy’ at a time of change from sail to steam, adding that ‘I began writing in Bentleys miscellany upon this matter … as far back as the departure of the Baltic fleet under Sir Chas Napier [March 1854].’ His article on ‘The Baltic fleet,’ BentM 2386, which appeared in April 1854, has only recently been identified, and nothing has been identified as his after that although the wording of his RLF application, which goes on to list specific maritime concerns, suggests that he continued to contribute to BentM. Possibly to be considered, reflecting his interests at the time, are BentM 2435, ‘The Shores of the Baltic’ (Aug. 1854), and BentM 2440, ‘Admiral Sir Charles Napier’ (Sept. 1854). [12/07]

Richardson, William. EMC, VPR 34 (2001), 352.

Thornbury, George Walter. According to the ODNB, after 1851 Thornbury ‘became a regular contributor’ to several periodicals, including BentM. The percentage of unidentified authorship is particularly high after Ainsworth became proprietor/ editor near the end of 1854; many of these articles belong to the category that the ODNB identifies as Thornbury’s specialty, dealing ‘with geographical and topographical themes’ and reflecting extensive travels. However, his widow did not include BentM in a long list of periodicals to which Thornbury contributed (RLF case 2007), and it is impossible to say what he may have contributed. [4/05]
