Item description from seller

The Scots Magazine was found in 1739, and claims to be the world's oldest magazine still in publication today (although with gaps in its publication history). It merged with Edinburgh Magazine and Literary Miscellany in 1804. It was intended as a Scottish rival to the London-based Gentleman's Magazine, covering a diverse range of Scottish interest issues, amongst wider global subjects of interest. Following a large gap in publication from the 1930s, when it had been withdrawn, The Scots Magazine was again published From December 1887 until 1893, under the new ownership of S. Cowan of Perth. There is a strong Christian focus during this period. Issues from this period are particularly scarce, and are presented here. 5 matching volumes comprising: Vol. 1: New Series - Vol I; December 1887 - May, 1888, 480pp;  Vol. 2: New Series - Vol II; June - November, 1888, 472pp;  Vol. 3: New Series - Vol III; December 1988- May, 1889, 476pp;  Vol. 5: New Series - Vol V; December 1989- May, 1890, 476pp; and;  Vol. 6: New Series - Vol VI; June - November, 1890, 476pp.   (Missing Vol. 4 in the run). The Editor for Vols. 5 & 6 is credited on the title page as the Rev. W.W. Tulloch, B.D. Published by S. Cowan & Co., Printers and publishers, Perth. 1888-1890 First editions. Also additional publishers are credited for different cities: Houlston & Son, London; J. Menzies & Co., Edinburgh; J.Menzies & Co., Wm. Love, W. & R. Holmes and C.L. Wright, Glasgow.
