Description: Hard to find October 1860 complete issue of the Quarterly Review (London). This is the American Edition. The text is identical to the English edition. This is a bright, very good copy. Nice and clean text. See photo #2 for complete contents. See photo #3 for a view of an American advertisement page added in New York. See photo #4 of the back cover. Some highlights I find in this issue include: "The Brazilian Empire." This 20 page essay by John Henry Tremenheere opens the number. See the right half of photo #2. It offers a detailed survey of 8 new works published in England, America, France and Brazil on Brazil and other South American states, including one of English novelist Anthony Trollope's most uncommon titles, The West Indies and the Spanish Main. Trollope wrote his study while he was on assignment in the West Indies for the English Postal Service. This incident helps explain why writers enlist in the postal trade, and also why people all around the world are always waiting for their mail. John Saul Howson's "Deaconesses." This later published (1862) in book form as part of Howson's The Official Help of Women in Parochial Work and in Charitable Institutions, a volume almost impossible to find today in a first edition. James Craigie Robertson's "[George] Eliot's Novels." Eliot was then in the process of becoming one of the realm's star novelists. The able Robertson here undertakes reviews of the seven volumes by the 40 year old Eliot's works so far published: Scenes from Clerical Life (2 vol.), Adam Bede (2 vol.), and The Mill on the Floss (3 vol.). This 15 page essay is one of the earliest, and also one of the best, detailed estimates of Eliot's works at this date. The inimitable English novelist and all around literary man Edward Bulwer-Lytton's historical essay (24 pages) following the publication of two works by John Forster. Its headed: "Arrest of the Five Members by Charles the First." Forster had rewritten the King's own history. Scottish architect and business man James Fergusson's "Iron-sides and Wooden Walls." This is, of course, of some naval interest, especially at this date. Some author identifications above are drawn from the Wellesley Index (I, 743).
