| Item Description: | The Analectic magazine, a new series of Select Reviews edited by Washington Irving, devoted most of its space to selections from British periodicals. There were also some original reviews, by contributors Gulian C. Verplanck and J.K Paulding, and others, as well as by Irving himself, along with "literary and scientific intelligence" and biographies of naval heroes. When Thomas Isaac Wharton succeed Irving as editor, the number of original contributions increased. In 1815 a history of the U.S. Navy was begun, followed by a department called "The Naval Chronicle." By 1817 the magazine had lost most of its eclectic character, while retaining its reviews and travel and science articles. Illustration was one of the magazine's chief distinctions. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900. Has added, engraved title page. |
