Munsey's Magazine, Volume 25
This index to Volume XXV encompasses the full range of a general-interest magazine featuring substantial non-fiction alongside fiction. The special articles cover contemporary subjects: industrial and technological advancement (ballooning, locomotives, engineering, bridge-building, stage effects); biographical profiles of prominent figures (King Edward VII, Helen Miller Gould, John Ruskin); American life and institutions (Wall Street boom days, game preserves, universities, athletic girls); imperial and colonial topics (Egypt, China, Russia in the East); and social commentary (dress reform, courtesy, bachelor girls, women's professions). Two serials appear: "Chronicles of Us" by Juliet Wilbor Tompkins and "Count Hannibal" by Stanley J. Weyman, spanning multiple issues. Short stories and storiettes feature writers like Sydney Porter and Herman Whitaker in varied genres including romantic and dramatic tales. Verse contributions range from lyrical to narrative poetry on themes of love, nature, and military subjects.
