Under the heading of the Naturalist, this 1829 weekly lights up with the glowworm, the towering talipot tree, and the ticking deathwatch beetle. The Mirror of Literature mixes natural history with fine arts and metropolitan sketches. Short, curious, and various. A Georgian miscellany with a real taste for the wonders of nature. Meet the glowworm and the deathwatch in an old London weekly.
