The North American Review, Edited by Allen Thorndike Rice, Vol. 146, No. 4, April 1888
The North American Review (NAR) was the first literary magazine in the United States. Founded in Boston in 1815 by journalist Nathan Hale and others, it was published continuously until 1940, when Joseph Hilton Smyth, who had purchased the magazine, was convicted as a Japanese spy. Publication subsequently resumed in 1964 at Cornell College (Iowa) under Robert Dana. Since 1968 the University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls) has been home to the publication. In 1876, Allen Thorndike Rice, (1851–1889), purchased the NAR for $3000 and made himself the editor. He continued as editor until his death in 1889. [Wikipedia]
This is the April, 1888 issue (Vol. 146, No. 4) of the NAR, published in New York. It contains 17 articles, listed on the cover, ranging over subjects such as “Why am I a Muslim?” to “A Defense of Pugilism” to “The Suffrage Paradox” to “Book Reviews and Notices”. These articles are contained within 120 pages of text (pages numbered from 361 to 480). There are an additional 16 pages of advertisements, divided into eight immediately after the front cover and eight before the rear cover. (An error in production resulted in the eight pages in the front being duplicated, so that there are two sets of eight in the front of the booklet.)
The booklet, which measures approximately 6 x 9 inches, is bound in paper covers. This copy of the booklet has apparently never been read, since most of the pages are unopened. The booklet’s cover is detached, as are several pages within the advertising sections. Otherwise, the booklet is in near fine condition.
The illustrations accompanying this description show the front cover, with its table of Contents, a typical 2-page spread of text, and a typical 2-page spread of advertisements.
Nathan Hale (16 August 1784 – 9 February 1863) was an American journalist and newspaper publisher who introduced regular editorial comment as a newspaper feature. Hale was one of the founders of the North American Review in 1815. [Wikipedia]
