Works by New York Ledger
| 1855 | The New York Ledger. The most popular weekly of its day is an outgrowth of the Merchants Ledger, founded in 1847, purchased by Robert Bonner in 1851, and renamed in 1855. The success of the publication was due to Bonner's elaborate advertising and contributions from popular writers, including E.D.E.N. Southworth and Lydia Huntley Sigourney, as well as sophisticated works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Longfellow, Tennyson, and Dickens. Advice columns by Henry Ward Beecher, Edward Everett, and others were also popular. The New York Ledger became a monthly in 1898 and ceased publication in 1903. |
