A precursor of modern academic journals, this quarterly periodical,
published between 1810 and 1829 and now reissued in forty volumes,
was founded and edited by Abraham John Valpy (1787 1854). Educated
at Pembroke College, Oxford, Valpy established himself in London as
an editor and publisher, primarily of classical texts. Edmund Henry
Barker (1788 1839), who had studied at Trinity College, Cambridge,
became a contributor and then co-editor of this journal, which
fuelled a scholarly feud with the editors of the Museum criticum
(1813 26), a rival periodical (also reissued in the Cambridge
Library Collection). Although its coverage overlapped with that of
its competitor, the Classical Journal also included general
literary and antiquarian articles as well as Oxford and Cambridge
prize poems and examination papers. It remains a valuable resource,
illuminating the development of nineteenth-century classical
scholarship and academic journals. Volume 6 contains the September
and December issues for 1812.
