The Cornhill Magazine Vol. 1 And 2
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
This is Vol. 1 and 2 of the Cornhill Magazine, together comprising every monthly issue from January to December 1860. Pages 505 to 512 of Vol. 1 were missing and so have been inserted from the relevant monthly magazine. They are now present. Parts of the books have fairly minor foxing. The covers are faded in places. The surface of the covers has come off in the corners and at the base of the spines. There are what looks like inkmarks about 1cm x 2cm on the bottom of both books. From a letter from the Editor about the Cornhill Magazine: "We hope for a large number of readers, and must seek, in the first place, to amuse and interest them. Fortunately for some folks, novels are as daily bread to others; and fiction of course must form a part, but only a part of our entertainment. We want, on the other hand, as much reality as possible - discussion and narrative of events interesting to the public, personal adventures and observation, familiar reports of scientific discovery, description of Social Institutions - quicquid agunt homines - a Great Eastern, a battle in China, a Race-Course, a popular Preacher - there is hardly any subject we don't want to hear about, from lettered and instructed men who are competent to speak on it." Volume 1 contains, among many other things, the story of a voyage aiming to rescue John Franklin, an explorer of the Arctic seas.
