February 27

Edward Cave was born on the 27th in 1691. He was a triple threat, as he was a printer an editor, and a publisher. In January of 1731, he began publication of The Gentleman's Magazine or, Trader's monthly intelligencer, the first general-interest "magazine" in the modern sense; sort of a People magazine for 18th century sensibilities.
