1853.
The Miscellany and Review made its appearance in January, 1853. T.F. Risk was its editor. Each number contained fifty-six pages; it was not illustrated. It was devoted to “education, the science of government, home commerce,” literature, miscellany, etc. Its articles were short and mostly selected – “intended to be of practical mien,” abjuring “fancy and flowers.” Only a few numbers of the Miscellany and Review were published.
