YEAR PERIODICAL TITLE AUTHOR ARTICLE TITLE PAGES ST# 1873 1873 Lakeside Monthly - August 1873, Vol X. No. 56 (Published by F. F. Browne & Co., Publishers, Chicago) Edited by: F. F. Browne from April 1869 - close) Founded in January 1869 as the Western Monthly. Francis Fisher Brown began as editor in April, 1869. The name was changed in January, 1871. "...the two most credible periodicals ever produced in Chicago are The Dial and the Lakeside Monthly, And that Mr. Browne has done more for the literary interest of Chicago than any other man in the city... In 1867, Mr. Browne, then a young man of twenty-three, landed in Chicago... The second year after Mr. Browne’s advent in Chicago saw him part owner and the practical manager of a snug little ‘‘brand-new’’ printing office on Dearborn street, just north of Madison. A few months later, disposing of his interest to his partners, he purchased an interest in the Western Monthly..." Inland Printer, Oct 1892, pages 33-35. The Western Monthly and Lakeside Monthly survived two fires and the financial panic of 1873, but could not survive Browne's struggle with his health. He did not plan to close the Monthly. The January issue announced the "Prospectus for 1874" our "Sixth Year". Plans were made. "Many new and able writers have been secured and new features and attractions will be constantly added." At thirty years old, Francis F. Browne had attained his life long dream. But severe health issues cut his dreams short. The February 1874 issue, number 62 would be the last. He closed the doors, left Chicago and fought to regain his health. Original cover price .35 cents. 6.1 x 9.5. (Relates to Study about Browne’s Bookstore.)

After a painting by Hunt, Holman "The Eve of St. Agnes. There is much of beauty, grace, and sentiment in the beautiful picture from the brush of William Holman Hunt, which we reproduced for The Aldine. Nearly twenty-five years ago Mr. Hunt began to paint those religious and mystical pictures which have since given him such a great reputation in his native England, as well as abroad. ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ is one of these... His early works were adopted from poetry and fiction, one of which, painted in 1848, was from Keats’s ‘St. Agnes’." There is only one problem. How could a major art magazine in New York make such a grand mistake. This is after a painting by Daniel Maclise, 1868, not Hunt, 1848. Original cover price 50 cents. 11.125 x 16.125.

Agnes) Pp Cover (191), 193 0000.03.0511 1880 1880 Harper’s Magazine - January 1880 (Published monthly by Harper & Brothers, New York) Keats, John "The Eve of St. Agnes."

Keats based his poem on the tale that a girl could see her future husband in a dream if she performed certain rituals on the eve of St. Agnes. Includes nine illustrations. Eighth illustration: "Pensive awhile she dreams awake." (Note: No where in this issue does Harper's credit the authors or illustrators for any of the article printed.)

Wright designed the title page and Printer’s Device for the book. Original cover price $4 per year (33c per issue). 7 x 10.25.

Frank L. Wright, Architect." W. Irving Clark Residence (S.013 - 1893). In 1887 Wright joined the firm of Adler & Sullivan. To earn extra income Wright designed "bootleg" houses while still working for Adler & Sullivan. The W. Irving Clark house was one of Wright’s first bootleg homes, commissioned in 1892 and completed in 1893. A dispute grew out of his acceptance of independent commissions, and in 1893 Sullivan fired Wright. Wright began his own firm, and this example of Wright’s work was published in August, 1894.

The 29th of October, 1895, marks the centenary of the birth of John Keats, and affords a fitting occasion for lovers of his poetry to pay tribute to his fame... Every student of Keats associated Hampstead with him even more than the place f his birth, or the distant city where he found a quiet grave... Hunt spoke of Keats, ‘A few years more, after I am gone, people all over England will be speaking of Keats, and doing homage to his rare intellectual qualities. They will acknowledge that I was right in my prophecy, published some time ago, that he was a true man of genius as these latter times have seen, one of those who are to genuine and original to be properly appreciated at first, but whose time for applause will infallibly arrive with the many.’ And then Hunt would relapse into silence, his eyes gazing into the distance, as though he saw unutterable visions." Includes two photographs, seven illustrations and three facsimiles of letters written by Keats." 6.5 x 9.5. (Relates to study of The Eve of St, Agnes) Pp 898-910 0018.22.0811 1895 The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine - October 1895 (Published by The Century Co., New York) van Dyke, Henry "The Influence of Keats... We can trace the influence of Keats not merely in the conscious or unconscious imitations of his manner, like those which are so evident in the early poems of Tennyson and Proctor, in Hood’s ‘Plea of the Midsummer Fairies’... in Rosetti’s ‘Ballads and Sonnets,’ and William Morris’s ‘Earthly Paradise,’ but also in the youthful spirit of delight in the retelling of old tales of mythology and chivalry; in the quickened sense of pleasure in the luxuriance and abundance of natural beauty; in the freedom of overflowing cadences transmitting ancient forms of verse into new and flexible measures... Indeed we shall fail to do justice to the influence of Keats unless we recognize also that it has produced direct and distinct effects in the art of painting. The English Preraphaelites owed much to his inspiration. Holman Hunt found two of his earliest subjects from pictures in ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ and..." 6.5 x 9.5.

"Something less than three weeks ago there died in California the man who conceived, projected, and for nearly a third of a century conducted this journal... When the regiment was discharged, in 1863, he decided to take up the study of law... and a year or two later began a brief course in the law department of the University of Michigan. He was unable to continue in college, however, and returned to Rochester to follow his trade. Here, in 1867, he was married to Susan Seaman Brooks... and immediately after his marriage he came to Chicago with the definite intention of engaging in literary work... With the fuller establishment of his control he rechristened the magazine, the word "Lakeside," now so familiar and widely-used in Chicago, being first employed in the new title, "The Lakeside Monthly"... In 1870 afire destroyed the magazine's printing-office, with its subscription list and entire current edition... Then a year later came the historic fire of 1871, in which the whole of Chicago's business section was consumed, and with it every visible asset of the magazine. But the intellectual force behind it was unsubdued; and after a brief delay the magazine once more arose from the ashes. The financial panic of two years later, which swept out of existence so many enterprises far more firmly based, was weathered by the indomitable resolution of a man determined upon success... Without means himself, even for a comfortable livelihood, its proprietor had continually to appeal for support from men to whom his own idealistic aims and purposes meant little or nothing...
Anonymous Worst of all, ill-health a heritage of army days aggravated by the constant toil and anxiety of ten years began to gain the upper hand. At a time when the magazine was practically self-sustaining and its prospects brighter than they ever had been in the past, a complete physical break-down made its suspension imperative. Thus came to an end " The Lakeside Monthly," from that day to this the most creditable and distinguished magazine ever published west of the Atlantic seaboard. The six years immediately following, from 1874 to 1880, were largely spent in a search for health. During part of this time, however, Mr. Browne acted as literary editor of "The Alliance" (then a prominent and influential weekly journal), and as special editorial writer for some of the leading Chicago newspapers... May, 1880, appeared the first issue of THE DIAL... his death which occurred in Santa Barbara, California, on May 11... He was one of the small group of men who, in 1874, founded the Chicago Literary Club; and for a number of years past he has been an honorary member of that organization, as well as of the Caxton Club (Chicago) and the Twilight Club (Pasadena, Calif.). During the summer of 1893 he served as Chairman of the Committee on the Congress of Authors of the World's Congress Auxiliary of the Columbian Exposition... Ill-health dogged him remorselessly, from the time he left the army to the day of his death. Poverty walked always at his elbow. Yet none of these circumstances ever gained the upper hand of his will, or ever turned him from his purposes. Through a long and troubled life, he never struck sail to a fear, either from without or from within." Digital and printed version. 6.5 x 10.

Pp 437-443 0120.09.0311 1913 The Dial - June 16, 1913 (Published on the 1st and 16th of each month by The Dial Company, Chicago) Muir, John Eulogy written by John Muir about his friend Browne, and published in the Dial. "Browne the Beloved.* Francis Fisher Browne, or Browne the Beloved as I like to call him, was one of the finest and rarest men I ever knew. During the last five or six years of his life, when I came to know him intimately, my love and admiration have been constantly growing as the noble strength and beauty of his character came more and more clearly to view. I have never ceased to wonder how he was able to do so vast an amount of downright hard work of lasting influence on our literature and at the same time lend a helping hand to hundreds of young aspiring writers, sympathizing with them in their struggles, and cheering them on with heartening advice while himself fighting an almost everyday battle against bad health, heavy enough utterly to disable most men. He was one of the literary pioneers of the old West who have made roaring commercial Chicago a centre of literature. His paper, The Dial, is regarded by far better judges than I am as the most..."

On more than one occasion in years past the Review has made reference to the admirable editorial work of Mr. Francis Fisher Browne, of the Dial (Chicago). The recent death of Mr. Browne in Southern California, after many years of ill-health, has called forth many tributes from literary men and from those of other callings who know and appreciated the qualities of his work. A few pages of the Dial for June 1 are devoted to these expressions and to a brief summary of Mr. Browne’s career... One need not be a student of human nature to read in this face the essential characteristics of the man - the kindliness and sincerity and fearlessness, the mingled strains of gentleness and strength, of idealism and practicality, of frankness and reserve, of tolerance and pride... Simplicity, sincerity, courage, persistency – these were the predominant notes in his character." Includes one portrait. Digital and printed version. 7 x 9.5.
