Question about Harper's Weekly

Post by scott elkins on Mon Jan 07, 2008 5:58 am

I was looking for a June 1886 Harper's (I hope that is the right month). Anyway, I bought this bound volume. I am under the impression these bound volumes simply contained all the Harper's Weekly magazines for a certain period of time (this one being from June 1886 to November 1886). Is this correct? Or are these NOT the Weekly Harper's collected into a single volume (maybe some other Harper's publication)???

Hi Scott, sorry to tell you that what you bought is not what you want. You bought the Harper's monthly magazine, not the Harper's weekly. Originally Harper's Weekly was called Harper's Monthly, but then they went to a weekly format, and changed the name. Shortly thereafter they launched a new magazine called the New Harper's monthly (which is what you bought) which much later on just became Harper's magazine as Harper's weekly was discontinued. They also published Harper's Bazaar magazine
