SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, New York, May, 1881  Starting on page 89 and continuing on to page 106 is "Impressions of Thomas Carlyle in 1848", by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Only portions of this lengthy article are provided in the images, but hopefully enough is present for one to capture Emerson's heart.
Additional article, poems, and other forms of prose are found throughout.

SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, (New York), April, 1873 

* "The Flea and the Professor" written by Hans Christian Andersen

Near the back of this monthly magazine is a printing of the short story by Hans Christian Anderson titled: "The Flea And The Professor" (see photos for the beginning). The story takes close to two full pages. From my research this printing is contemporary to when Andersen wrote it, being one of the last published pieces he wrote before his death in 1875 in his native Denmark.
