"The Southern Literary Messenger, Vol. I., No. 9, May, 1835" by Various is an early 1800s collection of different writings, like stories, poems, and reviews, that looks at art, books, and what was important in society back then. Inside, you'll find thoughts on past events, emotional verses, opinions about artwork, and stories touching on the lives of people and what was happening around them in the Southern U.S. The publisher begins this edition by talking about a change in who was helping to put the magazine together, thanking the person who had been doing it before. The first part has stories about the history of Tripoli and the Barbary States, explaining what happened when they had problems with the United States, and gives a better understanding of talks and agreements the U.S. was making with other countries.
