Museum of foreign literature and science.

Title from caption.

Several pages are stained, torn, and tightly bound with some loss of text; some have faded print and show-through. Many volumes have misnumbered pages.

Edited at first by Robert Walsh, Jr. and then by Eliakim and Squier Littell, the monthly Museum of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art was the leading American eclectic for twenty years. Much of its contents were selected from British magazines; included were reviews, poetry, literary and scientific news, biographical sketches of British authors, lists of new British publications, and articles on literature. The engraved portraits in each number were a popular feature. After 1830, plates were published regularly, and the magazine began to devote a large proportion of its space to serial fiction by Dickens, Reade, Bulwer, Thackeray and other popular English novelists.

Vol. 8-17 also called new ser., v. 1-10.
