Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, No. 752, May 25, 1878

Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, edited by William and Robert Chambers, is a journal that showcases a rich tapestry of 19th-century thought through biographical sketches, scientific explorations, and imaginative stories. At its heart is the compelling story of Levi Coffin, whose early moral awakening to the injustices of slavery fuels his courageous work within the Underground Railroad against slavery in America. Leaving his home in North Carolina, Coffin moves to Indiana, becoming a key conductor on the Underground Railroad, and helping countless people escaping enslavement find freedom in Canada. The journal blends this true and inspiring account with fictional tales and scientific insights, reflecting the diverse interests of its time and offering readers both knowledge and entertainment from a Victorian-era perspective.
