This is the October 1896 number of the London Smith, Elder and Company published Cornhill Magazine. A good copy that I neatly rescued from an old and damaged bound volume of the monthly.
143 pages.
Some highlights I find include:
British naval historian and journalist W. Laird Clowes opens this number with a 15-page essay headed "Trafalgar from the Spanish Side." This is a detailed review of just what strength the English were up against during the great battle of 1805. See photo for the opening page.
Alexander Michie's "The Transit of Earl Li [Hung Chang]." Another essay of interest on the notable Japanese ambassador, general and statesman.
Percy Machell translates the "Memoirs of a Soudanese Soldier" by Ali Effendi Gifoon.
Novelist W.E. Norris contributes chapters 37-40 (the 10th of 12 monthly installments) of his serial novel Clarissa Furiosa.
Other works here by H.C. Beeching, Mary Hargrave, W.B. Duffield, historian and writer Flora Annie Steel's new fiction "At the Great Durbar," and others.
Some author identifications above are drawn from the Wellesley Index, I, 401.
