Book cover

The International Monthly, Volume 4, No. 3, October, 1851 is a fascinating collection of essays, short stories, and poems that showcase the talent and diversity of writers from around the world. The range of topics covered in this issue is impressive, from politics and philosophy to travel and art.

One standout piece in this volume is a powerful essay on the importance of education for women, written by an anonymous female author. Her passionate arguments for gender equality are both thought-provoking and inspiring, highlighting the ongoing struggle for women's rights in the 19th century.

The short stories included in this issue are equally engaging, with tales of adventure, romance, and intrigue that kept me eagerly turning the pages. One particular story, set in the bustling streets of Paris, painted a vivid picture of city life during this time period and left me longing for more.

Overall, The International Monthly, Volume 4, No. 3, October, 1851 is a captivating read that offers a glimpse into the cultural landscape of the 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, literature, or the ways in which global events and ideas intersect. I highly recommend this volume to readers looking to explore the world through the eyes of talented writers from the past.

The author of "Progress" has fallen into none of the prevailing sins; he is of the school of Horace, and has as little as he may to do with fools, while he holds up, unfolds, and whips, the follies of the day.

John G. Saxe was born in Highgate, Franklin county, Vermont, on the second day of June, 1816, His youth was passed in rural occupations until he was seventeen years of age, when he determined to study one of the liberal professions, and with this view entered the grammar school at St...
