Christian Magazine, Volume 6 (January to December 1853)

This the last year of publication for the Christian Magazine.

Jessie Babcock Ferguson and John R Howard are editors.

The pagination in this volume is erratic.

Pages which should have been 300 to 320 were numbered 200 to 220; and for 336 we find 356, an error which was continued to the close of the volume by numbering the pages consecutively from that point.

These covers from issues in 1850 have content that is not always available in the issues themselves.
