"AMONG the multiplicity of Magazines, and the periods of their publication,-weekly, monthly, and quarterly, we do not remember to have seen before any one published in yearly numbers; nor, among the various provincial Magazines which have at various times been attempted, did we ever see any filled with matter altogether so useful and important as the present. When a provincial bookseller attempts to form a periodical miscellany, he usually aims to imitate the ordinary contents of our more fashionable metropolitan contemporaries; but the talents of his neighbourhood in essays and poetry are not long able to sustain him, and very little indeed does he put forth that is worthy of attention, still less of preservation. If he would strike into another path, and become the local chronicler and historiographer, materials of sufficient interest, we apprehend, will still fail him should he attempt to produce a number every month. It is therefore no less for the moderation of its plan, than for the judgment which is displayed in its execution, that we consider the Tewkesbury Magazine to be deserving both of praise and imitation."

Gentleman's Magazine, Aug. 1833.

"We are delighted to find that Mr. Bennett perseveres in his very useful and valuable Register; useful alike in registering the local events of the current year, and in fixing those detached documents and fragments of information, ancient as well as modern, which the stream of events and accidental circumstances bring from time to time to the surface, but which are again as rapidly lost, if not snatched from the current, and placed in some permanent record. The Register is altogether a model for the provincial statist, at the same time that it is rendered agreeable by features of a literary and entertaining cast."
