| A scarce and highly sought weekly journal, containing literary reviews, art, theatre criticism, music, politics and poetry. It was founded and initially edited by Charles F. Briggs. Edgar Allan Poe, who contributed frequently, later assumed the editorship and utilized his position in a sometimes controversial manner. Lowell was also a contributor, prior to being alienated by a change in the journal’s policies concerning abolitionism. | |
