Summary
The Scottish, irrespective of its caption, unveiled the press in Britain and beyond, closing with a telling prediction about the United States.
1. [Lewin, Walter]. “Letters in America.” 1 (1882–83): 30–51.
Speculated that magazines were more in demand in the United States than in Britain because “this class of literature” was suitable for “railroad reading.” “America far surpasses us in the excellence of its Magazines – ‘get up’ and contents alike being of the best.” In the top ranks were the Atlantic Monthly for literature and the Century for art. The American newspaper, which every town had, was “usually scrappy and entertaining. Items of grave news are enlivened with descriptive and facetious comments, and that solemnity which marks the British ‘Editorial’ is little known.” Aside on Margaret Fuller's work for the Dial and New York Tribune, where she was the “chief literary critic.”
2. [Brown, James]. “Thomas Carlyle's Apprenticeship.” 1 (1882–83): 72–100.
Revealed that acquaintance with Francis Jeffrey, editor of the Edinburgh Review, gave Carlyle “fairly regular work as a contributor to the quarterlies and monthlies,” but his income was uneven in his early days.
3. “Charles Dickens.” 3 (1883–84): 125–47.
Deemed Dickens “the best reporter in the gallery of the House of Commons,” work about which he reminisced in a speech for the Newspaper Press Fund in May 1865. His days as an editor varied. Briefly at the Daily News, he wanted to publish a cheap “first-class” paper.
