The Publisher (who will act as Editor for the present) desires it to be understood that this difference in title does not indicate any difference in the character or contents of the Magazine. It will be as near an exact duplicate of the original Magazine of American History in form, size—even in type,—as is possible, while the character and scope of its contents will be the same as won for the former in the past such approval as is found in the following paragraphs, taken from many such in one year:
“This periodical is without a rival in its domain, and is becoming indispensable to all intelligent readers. It is an unfailing source of historical and documentary evidence of the growth and expansion of our vast country.”—Christian Advocate.
“It is more than a periodical; it gathers into permanent and accessible form material that would otherwise be lost, or only found with great effort. Its articles are uniformly well written, and the illustrations and print complete the attractiveness of the magazine.”—New York Commercial Advertiser.
“This magazine is one of the best periodicals in America.”—New York Tribune.
“It is always a pleasure to welcome the Magazine of American History, with its antiquarian interest, its historical and biographical value, its fine type and paper, and its antique illustrations.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
“Each number presents an admirable collection of papers, and maintains the high character of the gifted editor, who, in her history of New York city, displayed the highest qualities of an author. The magazine is as instructive as it is entertaining.”—Scientific American.
“This publication has steadily increased in interest. It fills a niche of its own, and fills it so admirably as to ward off any attempt at competition.”—Baltimore American.
“The editor is giving great dignity to our country in recording the lives of families that are noble in the highest sense.”—Boston Globe.
“This periodical richly deserves the high rank accorded to it by leading historical scholars in the two hemispheres.”—Boston Transcript.
“It is crowded with facts of historical interest. The editor is remarkably at home with her subject, and her selections are made with a thorough appreciation of the wants of her readers.”—Manufacturers’ Review.
