Biographical / Historical

S. E. Brownell is described as an obscure American author, whose only separate publication seems to be a translation of The Herman and Dorothea, of Goethe (1848).

Scope and Contents

S. E. Brownell letter to Albert Gallatin Remington regarding gathering material for the first and only number of the New York Quarterly Review, December 29, 1851, and an itemized bill of John P. Prall, book and job printer in New York for the first 500 copies printed, February 11, 1852, 0.03 cubic feet. The literary journal was short lived and folded after the first number. The letter from Brownell to the editor Remington, shows that the author is agitated over the article, mentions his work on Levana, and is concerned about the caliber of the work in the journal.
