Editor: 1834-1835, Caroline Sheridan Norton.
Description based on: 1836.
Printer's imprint in volume for 1836: "London: Bradbury and Evans, Printers, Whitefriars."
Imprint varies.
Volume for 1836, pages 32-74, contains "The Pole", a story here attributed to "the author of 'Frankenstein'" (i.e. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley). The story was actually written by Shelley's stepsister, Claire Clairmont. Scholars believe that Shelley wrote only the final melodramatic scene. It first appeared in 1832, also attributed to Shelley, in the August and September issue of The Court Magazine and Belle Assemblée (cf. Robinson).
Contributors include Matthew Gregory Lewis, Felicia Hemans, and Jane Porter, among others.
