Summary

"Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 62, No. 382, August 1847" by Various, is a mid-1800s magazine that brings together different writings covering history, books, and ideas. One interesting piece looks at Grote's book about Greek history, figuring out what's real and what's just a story. It talks about how understanding history has changed and mentions other writers who had trouble with Greek history because of all the legends. The magazine also has a story about climbing Ben Nevis, a big mountain in Scotland, showing what it's like to climb mountains while joking about always needing someone to lead the way. The beginning of the magazine feels smart, mixing history and adventure with fun comments.
