A few years later (1686), the Genevan theologian, Jean Le Clerc, then a resident of London, established the _Universal Historical Bibliothèque; or, an Account of most of the Considerable Books printed in All Languages_, which was continued by various hands until 1693 in a series of twenty-five quarto volumes. Contemporary with this review was a number of similar publications which had for the most part a brief existence. Among them was the _Athenian Mercury_, published on Tuesdays and Saturdays (1691-1696), the _History of Learning_, which appeared for a short time in 1691 and again in 1694; _Works of the Learned_ (1691-92); the _Young Student's Library_ (1692) and its continuation, the _Compleat Library_ (1692-94); _Memoirs for the Ingenious_ (1693); the _Universal Mercury_ (1694) and _Miscellaneous Letters, etc._ (1694-96). Samuel Parkes includes among the reviews of this period Sir Thomas Pope Blount's remarkable _Censura Celebrium Authorum_ (1690). That popular bibliographical dictionary of criticism (reprinted 1694, 1710 and 1718) is only remembered now for its omission of Shakespeare, Spenser, Jonson and Milton from its list of "celebrated authors." Neither that volume nor the same author's _De Re Poetica_ (1694) finds a proper place in a list of periodicals. They should be grouped with such works as Phillips' _Theatrum Poetarum_ (1675) and Langbaine's _Account of the English Dramatic Poets_ (1691) among the more deliberate attempts at literary criticism. Between 1692-94 appeared the _Gentleman's Journal; or, the Monthly Miscellany. Consisting of News, History, Philosophy, Poetry, Music, Translations, etc._ This noteworthy paper, edited by Peter Anthony Motteux while he was translating Rabelais, included among its contributors Aphra Behn, Oldmixon, Dennis, D'Urfey and others. In many ways it anticipated the plan of the _Gentleman's Magazine_ (1731), which has usually been accorded the honor of priority among English literary magazines. The _History of the Works of the Learned; or, an Impartial Account of Books lately printed in all Parts of Europe_ was begun in 1699 and succumbed after the publication of its thirteenth volume (1711). Among its editors was George Ridpath, who was afterwards immortalized in Pope's _Dunciad_. The careers of the _Monthly Miscellany_ (1707-09) and _Censura Temporum_ (1709-10) were brief. About the same time an extensive series of periodicals was begun by a Huguenot refugee, Michael De la Roche, who fled to England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes and became an Episcopalian. After several years of hack-work for the booksellers, he published (1710) the first numbers of his _Memoirs of Literature, containing a Weekly Account of the State of Learning at Home and Abroad_, which he continued until 1714 and for a few months in 1717. In the latter year he began at Amsterdam his _Bibliothèque Angloise_ (1717-27), continued by his _Memoires
