About This Item

  • Title: Harper’s Magazine
  • Date: 23 October 1857
  • Creator(s): Walt Whitman
  • Whitman Archive ID: per.01207
  • Source: Brooklyn Daily Times, 23 October 1857: 2. Our transcription is based on a digital image of a microfilm scan of the original issue. Microfilm of original issue held at Pennsylvania State University Libraries. For a description of the editorial rationale behind our treatment of the journalism, see our statement of editorial policy.
  • Editorial note: This piece is unsigned, as was the case for most of Whitman's journalism. However, this editorial is part of a series of texts that deal with a coherent theme that has been identified by the Whitman Archive journalism team as likely authored by Whitman. This decision is based on a combination of historical and (auto)biographical accounts, similarity to contemporary Whitman writings, a history of scholarly attribution, extant clippings retained by Whitman, computational stylometric analysis, and, in some cases, manuscript evidence in Whitman’s hand.

HARPER'S MAGAZINE.1—

This favorite monthly has made its appearance for November. We learn from the publishers that the publication of neither the Monthly nor Weekly will be suspended or interfered with in any way by the financial panic and its distressing consequences. Both will proceed upon the even tenor of their way as heretofore.

The present number of the “Monthly” contains the usual quantity of readable and entertaining matter. The illustrations are also of the first quality. The stories entitled “Lost,” “Helen Lee,” “Jacob Thorne” and “The man who was not an Egotist” are far superior to the ordinary run of Magazine tales. The Editorial Department is full of interest, as usual.
