Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This is a well preserved copy of the February 1893 "Cosmopolitan Illustrated Monthly Magazine". For many collectors and fans of science fiction, the main thing in this issue is an early science fiction story by Julian Hawthorne titled "June 1993" in which the protagonist visits the United States 100 years in the future. That meant 1993. The author imagines a vastly different world, including boat-like vehicles that travel through the air, high above the landscape. In one of the fine illustrations by Dan Beard (of Boy Scouts fame) a group of people are on a luxury cruise in the flying boat. They look much like an assortment of hippies and bohemians. Julian Hawthorne was the son of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody. See the Table of Contents, provided below for a complete list of the issue's contents. There is also a huge amount of Victorian era advertising, of which I've only been able to show a small portion. TABLE OF CONTENTS * Frontispiece : a halftone photo portrait of James G. Blaine * Monte Carlo - by H. C. Farnham (illus. by halftone photos) * After Mist in Winter - a poem by Archibald Lampman * The Beet-Root Industry - by H. S. Adams (illustrated by halftone photos) * Oriental Rugs - by S. G. W. Benjamin (illus. by halftone photos) * Toki Murata - a story of Japan by Mrs. Sewell Read (illus. by George Wharton Edwards) * James G. Blaine - by T. C.

Eardley-Wilmot (illus. by line drawings and halftone photos -- shown are photos of the "Agincourt", the "Monarch", the "Alexandra", and a massive "Dreadnought") * JUNE 1993" … AN EARLY SCIENCE FICTION STORY BY JULIAN HAWTHORNE (Line drawings by Dan Beard) * The Unillumined Verge - a poem by Robert Bridges * Democracy and the Mother Tongue - by John Coleman Adams (illus by a line drawing) * The Great Railway Systems of the United States : The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe - by Charles S. Gleed (illus. by halftones) * Social Problems : Suffrage - by Edward Everett Hale (illus. with a line drawing) * Cachuca Amorita - a story by Wilson De Meza (illus. by the Author) * Lullaby - a poem by Arthur Sherburne Hardy * A Traveller from Altruria - Part IV of a Serialized Novel by William Dean Howells * Dusk - a poem by William Wilfred Campbell * Lord Beaconsfield - by Adam Badeau (illustrated with numerous portraits and satiric characterizations of Victoria's Prime Minister) TITLE : The Cosmopolitan, An Illustrated Monthly Magazine ISSUE : Vol. XIV, No. 4 DATE : February 1893 EDITOR : John Brisben Walker SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES : Contains a Science Fiction story by Julian Hawthorne, Illustrated by Dan Beard; also articles on James G.
