The Literary magazine, and American register

This monthly, begun by Charles Brockden Brown in Philadelphia in October, 1803, was similar to his New York Monthly, but gave more attention to political chronicles and general intelligence and contained less fiction than the Monthly had. The contents were varied; most pieces were brief, and about half were original. Agriculture, travel, feminism, and literature were among the topics, and there was also much medical information, especially concerning yellow fever and smallpox. Brown claimed that inoculation for smallpox had done more harm than good. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900
