Item description from seller

Boston:Ticknor & Fields, 1867. The January 26, 1867 issue (Vol. III, No. 56) of Every Saturday. 10 1/2" x 7", newsprint wraps, 32 pp. + ads. Very Good; some corner wear and age toning (see scans), but sturdy and supple. A robust example. An extraordinarily scarce original wraps copy of Every Saturday, a literary journal which is found, when it is found, almost always as six-monthly hardbound aggregations. Every Saturday was the weekly offering of Fields & Osgood after Ticknor & Fields; each of which offered, in the publisher's words, "choice reading selected from current foreign literature" - i.e., usually reprints from similar overseas journals, generally English ones. This issue includes the typical variety of topics; please see cover-listed contents on scan. Most Every Saturday entries were reprinted from foreign journals, and occasionally became the first American appearance of works of some famous (or to-become-famous) authors, such as Jules Verne and Charles Dickens. Herein is a pre-publication chapter of "The Village on the Cliff" by Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie, though she is credited only as "Miss Thackeray"; five pre-publication chapters of Henry Kingsley's "Silcote of Silcotes"; and two pre-publication chapters of Edmund Yates' "Black Sheep", as well as a number of other literary diversions (see scanned image of the contents), and eight pages of quaint ends, four at the beginning and four at the end. A piece of publishing history. L-ES1.…
