[Harper's Magazine]

About This Item

  • Title: [Harper's Magazine]
  • Date: 22 July 1858
  • Creator(s): Walt Whitman
  • Whitman Archive ID: per.01253
  • Source: Brooklyn Daily Times, 22 July 1858: 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 for August has been received. The number abounds, as usual, in capital wood-cuts and interesting reading matter. The illustrated articles are “A Winter in the South,” the “Romance of Wyoming,” and “Vagabondizing in Belgium.” The tales in the present issue are very good. This is a department that in “Harper” is never neglected. Altogether we can recommend “Harper” as a companion for a summer tour or as a holiday book in general.
