Miscellanies

Miscellanies are an early kind of magazine which emerged from a periodical. They offered up a variety of reading material such as jokes, articles, news, entertainment, and letters. These prints were considered safe for all members of the family to read. Weekly miscellanies and magazines became increasingly popular during the nineteenth century when literacy rates increased especially in the domestic households.
