Numbers and dates of periodicals in brackets are conjectural. Those without
brackets are based on holdings recorded in Tercentenary handlist; Crane
and Kaye; A census of British newspapers and periodicals; British
Union catalogue of periodicals or personal observation. In listing proprietors
it has often been impossible to assign ultimate responsibility, especially
in cases of multiple control.
