This Week's Acquisitions

(It's been a while since I've picked up any religious magazines.)

• David Kowalski, The Company of the Dead (Titan, 2012).  Alternate history novel featuring the Titanic and a world in which the US stayed out of WWI; gives off a bit of a Man in the High Castle vibe (albeit clocking in at 752 pages).  (Lift Bridge)
• Mary B. Tuckey, Old James, the Irish Pedlar (American Sunday-School Union, 1851).  Narrative poem in rhyming couplets about a nice Protestant Irishman who wanders about speechifying (you get the idea). Also published in Dublin.  Tuckey's other efforts include abolitionist texts.  (eBay)
• The Life and Death of Lady Jane Grey/Story of Samson, the Strongest Man (American Sunday-School Union, n.d./1839).  Two tracts bound together.  (eBay)
• [Timothy East], The Evangelical Spectator I (1839).  US reprint of East's answer to Addison and Steele, originally published in 1828.  East published multiple volumes of the Spectator, as well as an Evangelical Rambler; for a brief reminiscence of East, see here.  (eBay)
• The Primitive Methodist Juvenile Magazine II (1853).  One year of this reasonably long-lived British magazine, featuring poetry, short stories, missionary reports, etc.  (eBay)
• The Christian Miscellany, and Family Visitor (1870, 1879).    Two volumes of a successful Methodist magazine.  (eBay)
