Description: Published in 1840 by William W. Snowden, New York. This magazine was first published in 1838, during a period in U.S. history where magazine subscriptions were slowly becoming popular. By the 1860s, the number of subscribers in the U.S. had nearly doubled. Most of these magazines had a high moral tone, but low intellectual content. Nevertheless, this volume provides a rich source of insights into the cultural norms and literary tastes of mid-19th century America.Half red leather over marbled paper covers. "Ladies' Companion" and "Vol. XII" in gilt leaf on faux hubbed spine. Marbled paper is torn; half has peeled off on rear cover. Leather is worn. Two small book plates on pasted front endpaper. Heavy foxing present and slight wave to pages. Front hinge is broken. FFEP through Page 10 are detached. Tissue-protected frontispiece. Light tattering to detached pages' edges. Pages 205-208 are also detached.
