a review founded in 1815 by William Tudor, at Boston, and originally published every two months, though now a monthly. Among its contents were found, beside reviews, a variety of miscellaneous and poetical articles. It soon passed into the control of an association of literary men, who met regularly in their editorial capacity. Many changes were made in the magazine and an uniform high standard was maintained throughout. Its earlier files contain the best collection of American literary, political, critical and scientific thought during the first sixty or seventy years from its foundation.
