"The Rover: A weekly magazine of tales, poetry and engravings, original and selected" was a magazine started in 1843 by Seba Smith and Lawrence Labree. The editors aimed at a high quality standard in their selection of short stories and poetry. Every half-year, the 26 weekly issues were also published under a bound compilation. This is the 25th issue, with a varied choice of poetry and prose texts. (Summary by Sonia)

Thank you. I skimmed the story and it is very sad. In some way it reminded me of "The Heavenly Christmas Tree" by Dostoyevsky. It will be a nice change of pace.

Take care,

Greg
