Lossing's richly illustrated historical essay "The Boston Tea Party" (December 1851), alongside articles and fiction by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Mary Russell Mitford, Jacob Abbott, and other prominent Victorian authors. The illustrations throughout capture scenes of domestic life, maritime activity, historical events, and serialized fiction, making this a visually and textually substantial mid-nineteenth-century periodical volume.
