Evidence:

'You have not perhaps seen the new "Gentleman’s Magazine" since it resumed publication. This is the first number—it was sent to me by the Editor Mr Bullen, who asks me to contribute. I rather like it, and think you will be interested in the history of the magazine, by the Editor perhaps. There is also a good article on our old friend Samuel Pepys his library.'
