| 1845 | The American Whig Review. Founded as a political magazine supporting Henry Clay's bid for the presidency, it continued as a literary journal in opposition to the Democratic Review.

Highly noted for its biographies of statesmen, which include engraved plate illustrations, it also published political writings. Contributors included Poe (whose "The Raven" and "Ulalume" and other works appeared in its pages), Horace Greeley, and Daniel Webster. |
