The Minerva (1785) of Rahbek was carried on to 1819, and the Skandinavisk Museum (1798-1803) was revived by the Litter atur - Selskabs Skrifler (1805). These were followed by the Licrdc Eftcrrctningcr (1799-1810), afterwards styled Litteratur- Tidende (1811-36), the Athene (1813-17), and Historisk Tidsskrift (1840).

The first trace of the serial form of publication to be found in Norway is in the Ugcntligc kortc Afhandlinger (1760-61), "Weekly Short Treatises," of Bishop Fr. Nannestad, consisting of moral and theological essays. The Maanedligc Afhandlinger (1762), " Monthly Treatises," was supported by several writers and devoted chiefly to rural economy.

Munch ; Den Norske Tilskucr (1817-21), a miscellany brought out at Bergen ; Hermodcr (1821-27), a weekly aesthetic journal ; Iduna, (1822-23), of the same kind but of less value ; Vidar (1832-34), a weekly scientific and literary review ; Nor (1840-46), of the same type ; Norsk Tidsskrift for Videnskab og Litteratur (1847-55) ; Illustreret Nyhcdsblad (1851-66), "Illustrated News"; Norsk Maanedsskrift (1856-60), " Monthly Review for Norway," devoted to history and philology ; and Norden (1866), a literary and scientific review.

Botten-Hansen, La Norvege Litteraire, Christiania, 1868 ; Norsk Bog- Forteijnelse (1814-72). The Sioenska Argus (1733-34) of Olof Dalin is the first contribution of Sweden to this subject. The next were the Tidningar om den Ldrdas Arbcten (1742) and the Larda Tidningar. The patriotic journalist C. C. Gjorwell established about twenty literary period icals, of which the most important was the Swenska Mercurius (1755-89). Atterbom and some fellow-students founded about 1810 a society for the deliverance of the country from French pedantry, which with this end carried on a periodical entitled Phosphoros (1810-13), to propagate the opinions of Schlegel and Schelling. The Svensk Liter atur -Tidning (1813-25) of Palmblad and the Polyfem (1810-12) had the same objects.

Spain owes her intellectual emancipation to the monk Benito Feyjoo, who in 1726 produced a volume of dissertations somewhat after the fashion of the Spectator, but on graver subjects, entitled Teatro Critico, which was continued down to 1739. His Cartas Eruditas (1742-60) were also issued periodically. The earliest critical serial, the Diario de los Literatos (1737-42), kept up at the expense of Philip V., did not long sur vive court favour. Other periodicals which appeared in the 18th century were Manor s Mcrcurio (1738) ; the Diario Noticioso (1758- 81) ; El Pensador (1762-67) of Joseph Clavijo y Fajardo ; El Belianis Literario (1765), satirical in character ; the Semanario Erudito (1778-91), a clumsy collection of documents ; El Corrco Literario de la Europa (1781-82) ; El Censor (1781) ; the valuable Memorial Literario (1784-1808); El Correo Literario (1786-91), devoted to literature and science ; and the special organs El Corrco Mcrcantil (1792-98) and El Semanario de Agricultura (1797-1805).

The Crdnica cientifica y literaria (1817-20) was afterwards transformed into a daily news paper. Subsequently to the extinction of El Censor (1820-23) there was nothing of any value until the Cartas Espanolas (1832), since known as the Rcvista Espanolu (1832-36) and as the Revista de Madrid (1838). Upon the death of Ferdinand VII. periodicals had a new opening ; in 1836 there were published sixteen journals devoted to science and art.
