Description

Edward Youmans started an illustrated miscellany, Appleton’s Journal in April 1869 with the hope of popularizing science for the American public. That goal would not be realized until 1872, when he founded The Popular Science Monthly, America’s most long-standing and influential monthly general scientific publication.
