The first edition of a short-lived periodical conceived as a continuation of the six volumes of The Spirit and Manners of the Age printed between 1826 and 1829. The monthly magazine, a curious compendium of disparate articles on the arts and sciences, lasted for only a year.

COPAC records a single copy of the first issue, held at Durham. No other numbers are located. OCLC adds a set at Cambridge.
