on office was removed to New York,
and the magazine was called the _Eclectic Museum of Foreign Literature
and Science_. Littell had no connection with the magazine in this phase
of its history. He went to Boston, and in 1844 established _Littell's
Living Age_, of which he remained the proprietor until his death, May
17, 1870.
After retiring from the editorial chair of the _Museum_, Walsh
successfully resuscitated the _American Quarterly Review_, which he
published from March, 1827, to 1837.
The _Review_ was published by Carey, Lea and Carey. It appeared in
March, June, September and December. Each number contained two hundred
and fifty pages, and the subscription price was five dollars per annum.
Some of Walsh's original works had met with approval in England. His
"Letter on the Genius and Disposition of the French Government" passed
through four editions in England, and was commended by Lord Jeffrey in
the _Edinburgh Review_ (Vol. XVI, p. 1). The _American Quarterly Review_
did not share the same happy fate. The _Monthly Review_ said of it, "It
is as dull a work of the kind as any that we know of. It is heavier even
than the _Westminster_ when burthened by the lucubrations of Jeremy
Bentham." Neal, in _Blackwood's_ (XVI, 634), sarcastically styled Walsh
"The Jupiter of the American Olympus."
Walsh was United States Consul at Paris from 1845-1851, and remained in
France until his death, February 7, 1859.
Joseph Delaplaine, in April, 1812, respectfully solicited the patronage
of the public to the _Emporium of Arts and Sciences_, "conducted by John
Redman Coxe, M.D., professor of chemistry in the University of
Pennsylvania." The magazine was published monthly, beginning in May,
1812. It made three volumes, but two volumes only were published in
Philadelphia. The second volume was conducted by Thomas Cooper, who, in
1813, removed the magazine to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where it was
printed by Kimber and Richardson.
The _Religious Remembrancer_ was begun by John Welwood Scott on the 4th
of September, 1813. It was the first religious weekly published in the
United States, and was three years in advance of Willis's _Boston
Recorder_.
Two children's papers publishing about this time were: the _Juvenile
Magazine--Religious, Moral, and Entertaining Pieces in Prose and Verse_,
"compiled by Arthur Donaldson," Philadelphia, 1811, published monthly,
twelve and a half cents per number. The _Juvenile Port Folio_, a weekly
