The Covent-Garden Journal, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Covent-Garden Journal, Vol. 1

In this edition of Henry Fielding's contributions to his caveat-garden J oumal I have omitted two book reviews which are very obviously not his, but have reprinted all of the leading articles irrespective of their authorship. The accentuation and punctuation of the original have been followed throughout; and with the exception of the substitution of the modern 3 for the older form and of the separate Greek char acters in place of ligatures, no changes have been made in the original text. The presence of rotograph prints of the entire J oumal in the Yale Library and the publication of these volumes, now for the first time make a complete text readily available.
