Nichols Family Papers Relating Chiefly to The Gentleman's Magazine

Résumé du livre

Approximately 6,000 items originally arranged in 50 wrapped bundles. Mostly letters but also articles, poems, clippings, obituaries and business papers dating from the time when John Nichols (1745-1826), his son John Bowyer Nichols (1779-1863), and his grandson John Gough Nichols (1806-1873) were editors of the magazine. Some of the letters have philatelic interest; see especially Boxes 23 and 24. Also, a few papers of T.N. Brushfield, former owner, ca. 1895.
