Emerson Bennett’s Dollar Monthly was a monthly magazine of literature and fashion published in Philadelphia in 1860. The magazine

Dollar Monthly. This collection consists of volume 1 of Emerson Bennett’s Dollar Monthly bound in a single volume, dating
from January to December of 1860. The magazine contains short stories, poems, articles, illustrated plates, cartoons, needle
and fancy-work patterns, and regular columns. This volume contains a long serialized piece by Bennett, The Mountain Lily;
or, Adventures in the Wilderness: A Companion to “Prairie Flower”, which appears in every issue. Other stories and poems by
Bennett and Hamelin appear, as well as by writers Wesley Bradshaw, S. Annie Frost, Lavinia S. Goodwin, Marie T. Hamelin, Belle
Bush, and others.
