An early issue, being issue #4 of this popular paper which existed for less than 4 years.

But included also were poetry, snippets of news, announcements of new books, and various advertisements.
Near the back is an uncommon "extra" issue but referred to here as:the: "Supernumerary Paper for the month of July".
