| Item Description: | Founded in 1849 by the alumni of Marshall College at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, this periodical emphasized the historical basis of Christianity. Originally called the Mercersburg Review, it was first edited by John W. Nevin, and influenced by Philip Schaff, later a leading church historian. It was filled with controversy, and during its early years included some poetry and essays and some political comment. Forced to suspend during the war, the Review was resumed in 1867 by T.G. Apple, and move to Lancaster, changing its name to the Reformed Quarterly Review in 1879. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900. Title from caption. |
