This weekly newspaper, a journal of literature and society news, is quite rare. Of interest, despite a brief mention of the Gold Rush, there is no mention of the Civil War, which had started the month before the earliest issue in this lot; the front page show the collected chapters of The Champions of Freedom, or The Mysterious Chief - a novel of the War of 1812.
