Title: The Atlantic Monthly, April, 1858
Description: “Has probably maintained the highest average literary standard of any American magazine. The fiction, poetry and literary criticism are usually excellent and the literary essay has always been a prominent feature. Philosophical, political, economic and sociological matters are treated in scholarly but semi-popular fashion. Liberal rather than radical in viewpoint.”
