After Johnson was convicted on 17 July 1798, and before he was sentenced on 12 February 1799, he tried to prove that he had "uniformly recommended the circulation of such publications as had a tendency to promote good morals instead of such as were calculated to mislead and inflame the Common people". Periodical scholar Stuart Andrews therefore argues that the last issues of the "Analytical Review" "must be read in the light of Johnson's impending sentence". The June 1798 issue focused on travel literature and female fashions, and although it reviewed Mary Hays's "Appeal to the Men of Great Britain on Behalf of Women", it did not do so with any "political bite". In the same months that the "Anti-Jacobin Review" launched its first critiques of the "Analytical" and other journals, the "Analytical" published extensive articles on the picturesque and other aesthetic theories.
