The magazine gave readers a mixture of literature, history, current events, and very good illustrations.[3] Every month it printed parts of novels like William Dean Howells's The Rise of Silas Lapham, Jack London's The Sea-Wolf, and Henry James' The Bostonians. It printed a biography of Abraham Lincoln and short writing like "The Lady or the Tiger?" and Joel Chandler Harris's Uncle Remus stories.[2]
