This short run periodical (1855-57) reprinted material mainly from the British press. British periodicals were immensely popular in the United States before the American Civil War. It also includes items from the American press, for instance The Wyandot Cave of Virginia is reprinted from the New York Tribune. This volume presents to the researcher a view of what the American public were reading at that time.
