Каждый выпуск журнала содержал статьи на различные темы: от литературы и искусства до науки и технологий.

No derivation from the German with whole cloth; this is an old English cast-off, as already observed. No proprietorship is ever spelt out; we can yet guess that it was a penny "magazine" intended for a circulating library, the object being to throw together slightly used letterpress at half-price. Closing as it does some time after publication began, it certainly never got outside of the pages which bore it, and the writers got their due. There are odd things in it: an Rush presentation; a neglected Burney; Ibsen dinner utensils (exceptional, worth gathering); a book by the Rev. Geo. Shipley, perhaps more interesting in business than in literature (instructive on the part companies are sometimes given to, in paying young men who hardly know one another, vastly different wages); and a Mrs Charles Lamb whose Fairy Tales were very well sold, and very little read. And so forth—it is an average American chapman's wares for those who are uncertain what to buy for such occasions. It is a long time since anything by Henry Nash checked into old editions, sadly inadequate for the present day. [At this point they seem to have inserted a translation of a Poem in Prose by Niebuhr (from the 9th edition of CSLD). Warwick William.] Ladies and Gentlemen: After reviewing the work, I am obliged to state that the proprietor, for various reasons not fully ascertained by me, has resolutely and steadfastly refused to permit a deal in his establishment. The books available consequently remain on hand, our stock—small, I regret to say—still abruptly inexhaustible. But as your evening's last dance numbers close, I would ask those gentlemen and ladies collecting for fortunes, promising to give "half their share to any poor relations you happen to know in England," to compare their sum with the value of honest labor accomplished by all those authors whose "letters" it has been their privilege to read and enjoy—and I beg that than when next the question be put of labor's plight and comfort during the night, gentlemen may remember their comparative worth again. We chaps had much sharper charges, much more extravagant commands, pretty much more grim prospects. That's life.
