About the Item

The Dublin Review, Early Victorian Leather-Bound Periodical Set, 8 Volumes (1843–1849) London: C. Dolman and Thomas Richardson Son, 1843–1849 A partial set of The Dublin Review, eight volumes from the early Victorian period, published in London and edited by prominent English Catholic intellectuals including Nicholas Wiseman (later Cardinal Wiseman), Daniel O’Connell, and Richard Simpson.

Volumes included: Vol. I II (1843) Vol. I II (1846) Vol. II (1847) Vol. I II (1848) Vol. II (1849) Condition: Fair; spines and corners worn, some discoloration and rubbing to covers, scattered small tears or surface losses to spine leather and labels.

D Provenance: Private Collection, New York Historical Context: Founded in 1836, The Dublin Review emerged during a pivotal era in 19th-century Britain and Ireland, serving as a major intellectual and theological journal of the English Catholic revival. The 1840s volumes presented here capture a transformative decade—marked by the Irish Famine, the Oxford Movement, and debates over faith, science, and social reform. Contributors included leading figures in Catholic thought and the humanities, with essays on theology, politics, history, and literature. Published by Charles Dolman, London, and later Thomas Richardson Son, the Review sought to articulate a modern Catholic intellectual identity within an increasingly secular and industrial society. These volumes exemplify the craftsmanship and intellectual vigor of the Victorian press, offering a tangible link to the period’s religious and cultural debates.
