This short-lived (1813-26) classical journal was edited by James
Henry Monk (1784-1856) and Charles James Blomfield (1786-1857), who
were contemporaries at Trinity College, Cambridge. Both went on to
ecclesiastical careers: Monk left his position as Regius Professor
of Greek at Cambridge to become Dean of Peterborough and
subsequently Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, while Blomfeld, who
already held the country living of Quarrington in Lincolnshire when
the journal was founded, became Bishop of London. Encapsulating the
dominant contemporary style of English classical scholarship - the
close linguistic analysis of (primarily Greek) texts, as practised
by Richard Porson (1759-1808), Monk's predecessor as Regius
Professor - the Museum criticum became a rival to The Classical
Journal (also reissued in this series) and was collected in two
volumes in 1826. Illuminating the early development of academic
journals, Volume 1 contains issues 1-4.
