Once you are familiar with the contents of this page it
is highly probable that you will be using the NOTES most often--which is why they're
placed at the top of the page. But, you really should finish reading the entire
page before using these NOTES so that you understand what they contain and where
the links were obtained.
NOTE ON: Harpers New Monthly Magazine
NOTE ON: The Century Magazine
NOTE ON: The Continental Monthly Magazine
The Making Of America Series
The "Making Of America" websites, that reside at both Cornell
University and the University of Michigan, contain a large, on-line collection of 19th century magazines available to the
general public. These websites allow you to access photo-images of the actual pages from the magazines, so you can read
the exact same articles people were reading over a hundred years ago. The two sites have different collections of magazines
and they're listed below (along with the links that will take you to the entire collection of magazines at each site).
You can look up articles by year and month of issue once you've selected the magazine you want to brouse. In the NOTEs
above you can read about two particularly interesting series of articles from Harper's New Monthly Magazine and The Century
Magazine. There is also a NOTE on The Continental Monthly Magazine that list a few of the Pre-Civil War articles on
slavery that you might find interesting.
