William Gilmore Simms

According to the South Carolina Encyclopedia, "it survived longer than any other important magazine except the Southern Literary Messenger." It advocated advocated classicism in literature, agrarianism, was pro-slavery in economy, and Protestant in religion.[2] It was antagonistic towards the French Revolution and transcendentalism,[2] and opposed "British aggression" and "states' rights". The magazine notably published an opposition review of the book Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) in July 1853 by editor William Gilmore Simms.[3][4]

Editors included Daniel K. Whitaker from 1842–1847, a transplant from New England; and South Carolinian William Gilmore Simms from 1849–1854.[2][5] George Frederick Holmes and Jacob Cardozo had articles published in it. Other contributors included William J. Grayson, Robert Barnwell Rhett, James Warley Miles, Frederick A. Porcher, Beverly Tucker, and J. D. B. De Bow.[2]
