Description: Nice complete (and hard to find) issue of the London Athenaeum for 22 October 1887 is in very good condition, rescued by me the other day from an old damaged bound volume of the weekly journal. Reviews were unsigned at this date. See photo for complete contents. 19 pages. 9" x 12." Some highlights: Opening essay in review of the popular English artist of social scenery ("The Derby Day," etc.), W.P. Frith's My Autobiography and Reminiscences (Bentley & Sons). The Albert Fleming edited Hortus Inclusus: Messages from the Wood to the Garden. "Sent in Happy Days to the Ladies of the Thwaite, Coniston, by their Thankful Friend John Ruskin" is reviewed here. Published by Orpington, Allen, it's a volume almost impossible to find today in a first English edition. Feodor Dostoevsky's novel, The Idiot, translated by Frederick Whishaw, is reviewed in this number, its first appearance in an English translation. An extended obituary of the notable English novelist Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, which includes "a complete list of her works" (1846-1887) is provided by Frances Martin.
