Cited in:

Proposed to include both original and selected material from the latest European and American periodicals and from new books and works not accessible to most readers. It emphasized historical material, particularly of Worcester County; in fact, the second volume was almost entirely devoted to a detailed history of the county. Also included short moral and literary essays, notices of improvements in the arts and advances in science, poetry, biography, travel articles, amusing anecdotes, and general news. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900.
