Synopsis

Excerpt from The Magazine in America

These papers, for the most part published in The Book man, present an informal history of the magazine move ment in the United States, from its beginning down to the close of the nineteenth century. The author has not undertaken the business of the genuine historian. In the few studies he has encountered of magazines of spe cial periods, he has found as many contradicted state ments of fact as an informed reader may discover in his own pages. Many of the statistics of magazines have been entirely lost, partly through contemporaneous in difference to such ephemera and partly because the persons who knew the facts were willing to let them disappear. This account seeks merely to arrange our magazines and their tendencies in order, and to assemble such published opinions about both as the author in his reading has found interesting either in themselves or in their disagreement. Perfectly fair-minded people unfortunately have at the time little that is interesting to say and less occasion for saying it. Only out of some fullness of the heart have mouths spoken of matters which were mistakenly sup posed to be of small concern to the general public. Edi tors and proprietors notoriously put their best foot for ward, and avoid mention of derogatory items which com petitors and contributors are as eager to detach and emphasise. As a consequence, the facts of the period are to be found only by minute search and comparison of sophisticated or biassed documents. The author has had no opportunity to verify, sift, and weigh all the collectable evidence - which is the duty of veritable history.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
