Show WE WERE CALLED UPON a few days ago by D.W. Tullidge, Esq., who left with us a copy of the first number of Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine. It is a beautifully printed periodical, contains 176 pages and typographically and mechanically, will compare with any similar publication in the country. Among the contents are biographical sketches of the late Pres. [President] Young, W.S. Godbe?, H. W. Lawrence, E. L. T. Harrison, Joseph the Prophet, Eliza R Snow, F. B. Kelsey and W. H. Sheatman? Shearman?. Fine steel portraits of all except the last? first? two are given. They are really very fine portraits, executed by Hall & Sons, New York, and were very costly. This number contains a somewhat lengthy history of the Godbeite movement, which will, we believe? be generally received as a fair relation of the circumstances and events connected with that movement. Poems by Hannah T. King and C.W. Penrose, also appear, as do articles by several other writers, though the most of the reading matter is from the pen of Mr. Tullidge himself, and is written in his usual nervous, imaginative, incisive and somewhat dramatic style. Future numbers of the magazine promise to be a compendium of the biographies of the leading men of Utah, as well as to contain full descriptions of her resources, her history &c. &c. The steel and other engraving for number two are [unreadable line] and in number three will be given a condensed ???? settlement in Cache Valley with biographical sketches of<br><br> ing a fine steel plate containing portraits of several of our leading citizens, including a fine steel plate containing portraits of nine of the leading bishops of the county and a fine steel portrait of Pres. Preston. Judging from the first number, the magazine promises to be a deeply interesting work to all classes? of people in Utah and to posess first class literary merit. The subscription price is $1? per year. |
