History in Sequence With Related Publications

Chesterton had for seven years (1916–1923) been continuing as editor of The New Witness, previously owned by his brother Cecil Chesterton who had served in the British Army from 1916 and died in France in 1918. Gilbert had kept it going with Cecil's widow. That paper had been founded (as Eye-Witness) by Hilaire Belloc.

With the continuation of G. K.'s Weekly after Gilbert's death, by Belloc's son-in-law Reginald Jebb with Hilary Pepler, the complete series of publications therefore reads as

The Eye-Witness (1911–1914) →
The New Witness (1914–1923) →
G. K.'s Weekly (1925–1936) →
The Weekly Review (1936/37 – 1948, when it became a short-lived monthly).

Famous quotes containing the words history, sequence, related and/or publications:

    Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race.
    Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)

    We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Gambling is closely related to theft, and lewdness to murder.
    Chinese proverb.

    Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
