This early Victorian periodical was a serious production from which articles on fiction and poetry were sometimes taken for reuse. The editors looked for content that appealed to a variety of interest, for example, articles on general and literary topics, serial stories, poetry, local news items, technical topics, a series of statistical reports, a series of articles on eminent men, the diary of a Plymouth sailor, mathematics, literary reviews, chess and musical notes. Local contributions were needed and the idea was to provide a vehicle through which writers could present their work, preferably that with local interest. An original bound copy of this entertaining magazine, just six issues of which were published, is held at the Oxford University Library. It was digitised 14 March 2007 and can be downloaded from: https://books.google.com/ Google, in partnership with a number of public libraries has sought to make more widely accessible, old, hard-to-get books on which copyright has expired. The Appendix to the book presents a large number of documents, mostly in Latin and offered in support of claims made throughout the text.
