Interested adverts throughout, including "Selden & Brother, Job Printers," 8vo. 9" x 5-7/8". Minor wear. Some age-toning. A VG+ set. Established in 1872, this somewhat a miscellany, of the type popular during this era, with divers articles, many of a moralistic bent, though some fun is provided we see in one issue, in the form of "Missing Links. Champion Amateur Puzzle Dept." Fairly uncommon publication from the last quarter of the 19th C. We see not other copies on offer, and, per OCLC, only Yale has an institutional holding [though number of issues not specified.
