In June, 1824, there were published in Philadelphia the _Port Folio_, the _Museum_, the _American Monthly_ and nine other magazines, four religious, three medical and two political. It was in this year that _Blackwood's Magazine_ congratulated America on Charles Robert Leslie's success in art. The _Reformer_, published in 1824, by Theophilus R. Gates, aimed to "expose the clerical schemes and pompous undertakings of the present day under the pretence of religion, and to show that they are irreconcilable with the spirit and principle of the Gospel." The _Christian_ was a weekly paper of 1824. The _Philadelphian_, a large folio sheet, containing religious articles, was founded in May, 1825, by S. B.

The _Casket, Flowers of Literature, Wit and Sentiment_ was a magazine published in newspaper form. It was made out of the _Saturday Evening Post_, and was first issued by Samuel Coate Atkinson, at No. 36 Carter's Alley, January 1, 1827. Elizabeth Margaret Chandler (1807-1834) won a prize for the "Slave Ship" offered by the proprietor of the _Casket_. Charles Alexander, the well-known publisher, solicited William E. Burton to establish a literary journal in Philadelphia, and Burton, who was sympathetic yet dogmatic, possessed of excellent literary taste, but never more positive than when in error, founded in July, 1837, the _Gentleman's Magazine_. The fifth and sixth volumes, 1839, were conducted by Burton and by Poe. The seventh volume, 1840, was conducted by George R. Graham. The poetry of Burton's was painfully bad, redeemed only in the faintest degree by the verses of J. H. Ingraham and C. West Thomson.
