The article titled "Poetry" opens with an excerpt of speech made at a meeting for the Anti-Slavery Society by "Mr. Shiel". The speech reads in part "If the sceptic enquires of me why I feel sensation for the Trans-Atlantic Slave I answer him.'I am a man; and in every thing concerning man'.Can we then be afraid of combining in glorious energy for the relief of those who are in so sad of a condition". The featured poem "Negro Slavery" reveals the horrors in the lives of enslaved persons often utilizing irony to illuminate this topic. The unknown author opens the poem with a stark juxtaposition noting that the sun "flings o'er the world all the raptures of light--But oh! what of rapture of bliss or of peace Can it bring to the slave Do his agonies cease Nor darkness nor light can e'ere solace his pain". A true demonstration of empathy the poet urges the reader to comprehend the atrocities that plague the lives of enslaved persons.

193428772Chicago IL: Tower Magazines Inc. 1934. Cover creases edge wear with closed tears a good to very good copy. 28772. Large octavo single issue cover by Harold Woolridge pictorial wrappers. Fiction by Walter F. Ripperberger Stuart Palmer Ellery Queen Roger East and others. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.
