Description
An important magazine designed to combine a serious review with a literary magazine. By emphasizing American writers, it was received as a rebuke of Harper’s Monthly, which freely reprinted British authors. This issue contains the first of a two-part serialization of Herman Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener.”
