About This Item
New York: W. W. Hall, 1860. Softcover. First edition; 6 x 9; pp. [1], 194-224, [2]; yellow wraps illustrated with steel engravings; two small nicks to tail of spine and lower corner; minor foxing and spotting to margins of wraps; faint vertical crease; text mostly very clean, but for a few spots to lower margin of first few pages; very good.An influential, albeit very short-lived, for its time journal "for women and the home" - the Fireside Monthly was published from 1859 to 1861 by William Hall (Mott, Frank Luther. A History of American Magazines, 1850-1865. Cambridge: Harvard UP, 1938. 59-60). Hall (1810â1876) was a physician and a pioneer editor of health magazines having also published Hall's Journal of Health (1854-1867 [?]) and Hall's Medical Adviser (1875-1876). He was also a preacher and served as chaplain in both houses of the Texas Congress. He moved to New York in 1854 and was said he worked from 5 am to 10 pm every day, a violation of his own health rules, which led to his "falling in a fit" on a New York street and dying on May 10, 1876. OCLC lists a few copies in institutions with this the only one in the trade.
