Description: Hard to find, complete (deftly removed by me today from an old damaged bound volume) issue of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine for October 1840. 131 pages. Outstanding content includes: English barrister, novelist and later M.P. Samuel Warren's serial novel (very early legal fiction) Ten Thousand A-Year opens this number (Part 12 of 21 monthly installments). 30 pages. The first book edition of the novel was later in this year published in Philadelphia in six volumes. Their worth a pretty penny today if you can find these volumes in very good condition.

The multi-talented George Croly on Germany's southwestern Black Forest enclave of Baden-Baden. English author, poet and artist John Eagles on the current exhibitions at the National Gallery. Scottish scholar and all-around literary man John Stuart Blackie's "The Austrians." 18 pages. Thomas De Quincey's extended essay (13 pages) headed "Style" (Part III of IV). De Quincey also pens a long article (16 pages) in this number on "Foreign Politics." The notable Welch archeologist and artist H. Longueville Jones contributes an essay headed "France." English poet and writer James Forbes Dalton's new short story called "The Wags." Author identifications above are drawn from the Wellesley Index, I, 63.
