Volume 2, January to July, 1853. Toronto: Thomas Maclear. Illustrated with engravings (Paris fashions--one in colour, views of Niagara Falls, Cobourg, Queens Suspension Bridge). Tall octavo (25 cm), pp. 648, in brown publisher’s cloth, gilt titles and decoration in blind. The Anglo-American was a short-lived literary magazine which published work by, among others, C. P. Traill. This volume includes Chapters III through VIII of Forest Gleanings, the entirety of her stories ‘Cousin Kate’, ‘The Canker Rose and the Thorn’ as well as her sister Agnes Strickland’s poems ‘The Infant’ and ‘The Bridesmaid’. McGeorge, the editor, was not above reprinting stories from other publications-- in this case Poe’s ‘The Pit and the Pendulum’. Covers worn, two blind stamps.
