Abstract
The magazine in America has never been made a subject of exhaustive and definite research. Though the study is interesting and informative few have cared to resign themselves to it because of the evidently meager returns and the scarcity of accurate material. An occasional remark concerning the DIAL or the NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW is all that is heard about the magazines previous to 1850. The trials and tortures of the magazines and their sponsors have been forgotten more readily than is deserved. This essay-thesis attempts to bring back to the attention of the reader the problems and misfortunes that confronted the early magazine as such, the result of the efforts, and a brief mentioning of those periodicals which moreso than any other fought against the odds to at least some acknowledged success either present or future.
