The _Baptist Record_ was a religious publication continued from 1838 to 1857. The _American Phrenological Journal_ was issued from No. 46 Carpenter Street from 1838 to 1841. The _Farmer's Cabinet_, devoted to agriculture, was published from 1838 to 1850. The _Ladies' Companion_ was published by Orrin Rodgers for two years following 1838. Rodgers also published the _Medico-Chirurgical Review_, about 1838. Its life, however, was short. _Peterson's Ladies' National Magazine_.--It was George R. Graham who first suggested to his friend, Charles J. Peterson, then editor of the _Saturday Evening Post_, the publication of a fashion journal, patterned upon the popular French periodicals. _Peterson's Magazine_ is now (1891) in its fiftieth year, and is still the best and most popular publication of its class. Its circulation has been as high as one hundred and sixty-five thousand. It is to-day a stock company, of which Mrs. C. J. Peterson is President. The same glittering row of writers who contributed to _Graham's_ helped also in the making of _Peterson's_. Frances Hodgson Burnett published her first story, "Ethel's Sir Lancelot," in _Peterson's_ for November, 1868. The story filled five pages. Mrs. Frank Leslie thinks that Mrs. Burnett's first literary work was for Frank Leslie in 1867 or 1868, and that she received her first check in payment for an article in _Frank Leslie's Magazine_. Mrs. Leslie says that Mrs. Burnett was then living in Knoxville with her brother who was a civil engineer. Mr. Peterson died March 4, 1887. The following editorial note appeared in _The Philadelphia Inquirer_ of Monday, March 7, 1887: CHARLES J. PETERSON.
