This periodical was first published in 1872. It apparently fell on hard times and was revived by F. M. Lupton and Company in December, 1875. It is a large (11 x 16) sixteen page monthly literary magazine. By 1885 S.H. Moore ( of F. M. Lupton and Co.) had taken over the publication of this journal as S. H. Moore and Co. After a very successful run, this journal was merged into The Ladies' World in 1889.
