Description: Title: The Richmond Eclectic: A Monthly Magazine of Foreign Literature, Religious and Secular. Vol. II, No. 4.Editors: Rev. Moses D. Hoge and Rev. William Brown.Publisher: The Richmond Eclectic, Richmond.Publication Date: August 1867.Format: softcover.Length: 100 pages [289-388]Size: approximately 5 3/4" by 9 1/8"Description: The Richmond Eclectic was a monthly periodical that reprinted the best of foreign magazines. According to the mission statement on the inside front cover, “it is the design of the editors to issue a periodical which, by a careful and conscientious eclecticism, will supply its readers with what is freshest purest, and best in the Theological, Literary and Scientific journals of the old world..” The Richmond Eclectic was founded in Richmond, Virginia, in 1866 by Moses D. Hodge and David Hand Browne, taken over in January 1868, renamed New Eclectic, and moved to Baltimore, under the ownership of Fridge Murdoch and Lawrence and H. C. Turnbull. It was renamed into Southern Magazine in 1871, which was published until 1875. Begun one year after the end of the Civil War, this magazine appears to have been an attempt to create a southern version of the successful New York based The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art which was published from 1844 to 1907. This southern focus is revealed in part of their mission statement, where they state that “nothing SECTIONAL will be admitted; at the same time nothing will appear which is out of harmony with the convictions and sentiments of SOUTHERN READERS, with reference to the interests, rights and institutions of the States they inhabit.”Condition: This exceedingly rare, over 150-year-old magazine, is in poor condition. The front cover is detached. The cover is toned, chipped, bumped, torn, and stained. The pages are toned, stained, foxed, and bumped.
