Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. "Harper's New Monthly Magazine" was one of the pre-eminent American magazines in the nineteenth century. Maintaining a high standard of literary excellence, Harper & Brothers managed to acquire the works of many of the world's most esteemed authors for inclusion in their monthly journal. As well as fine literature, Harper's presented some of the most attractive engraved illustrations of the time.

Loose as Issued. Condition: Very Good. Signed on small piece laid to album paper. "Faithfully Yours" William Blade. *He was war Correspondent for The Morning Star in the Prusso-Austrain war 1866 + Assistant editor of The Daily News and then wrote about 40 books, one based on his experiences in war. Black's novels were immensely popular and compared favourably with those of Anthony Trollope. However, his fame and popularity did not survive long into the 20th century. His first novel, James Merle, appeared in 1864, and had little success. Black later disowned the novel and reputedly bought copies to destroy them. Two further early novels Love or Marriage (1868) and The Monarch of Mincing Lane (1871) did little to advance his career, and all three were omitted from the collected edition of Black's works issued by the publishing firm Sampson Low from 1892. Black is remembered by a lighthouse built in the form of a Gothic tower "on a spot that he knew and loved, by his friends and admirers from all over the world," as recorded on a carved plaque over the door. The building was erected in 1901 and is still in use as a lighthouse. It stands a mile or so south of Duart Castle, at the eastern extremity of the Isle of Mull. …
