Preface An editors farewell.   The magazine is to be reduced in its scope:- ... leaving the records of Learned Societies to their own media, the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE will be a work of general literature. In a manly and healthy tone it will treat of everything in which the modern gentleman is interested. ... From this date the magazine is no longer a useful fount of essays, dissertations, and such like, though correspondence with the editor, Sylvanus Urban, still includes good stuff and there are some other interesting articles. |

Having 6 months' issues, which awkwardly ends at November. The arrangement of the year's two parts of 6 months as December-May, June-November, continues till 1871. 1871 part 2, volume 7 of the series, has 7 months, June-December, reinstating a sensible plan. |

Month title page  A bland title page for the month; a new statement of aims. |
|||
|
Indexing The only indexing of the entire six issues is a single page labelled contents, this, in alphabetical order is the volume index.  For this first volume of the new series there is an index to obituaries; this is not continued in further issues. |
