This paper made a linguistic analysis of the third-person singular present indicative verb forms hath and has in The Gentleman's Magazine published in 1731. The examples analysed include those functioning as auxiliaries and those as full verbs. In the statistical analysis of the forms, I have observed that has is the predominant form and hath is the minor variant form used in the text regardless of their grammatical functions. In the contextual analysis of the forms I have mainly dealt with the instances of the archaic form hath and explored the stylistic effects achieved by them.
