About a third of the pioneering
Children's Magazine was reprinted
from the equally pioneering Juvenile Magazine, published in London
the year the before. Here you'll find a list of works appearing in both
periodicals; a few of these are transcribed at this site. Unfortunately,
when the Children's Magazine was microfilmed, the February issue
wasn't available. I've prepared a
table of contents for The Juvenile
Magazine; it's likely the editors would have chosen a number of pieces
from the February issue.
