Local Notes:

Culture Class Collection copy has v. 1, no. 1 (July 1842) (32 p.) only.

Culture Class Collection copy is 2nd edition of Cold Water magazine. "The success of our undertaking thus far has exceeded our most sanguine expectations. The first edition of 3,000 copies of no. 1 was disposed of in two weeks from the time of its being issued and the demand for the work from all parts of the country, has been such as to induce us to print a second, and much larger edition, and to make decided improvement, which will appear in future numbers."
