Whittemore, Thomas, 1800-1861

This periodical, a successor of the Universalist magazine edited by Hosea Ballou, was the leading weekly of the Universalist denomination. Under Whittemore's editorship (1828-1861), it continued to cover doctrine, religion, and morality, publishing sermons, poetry, and articles on Universalist doctrine and on the progress of Universalism, along with news on missions and the activities of Universalist societies. During the 1830's and 1840's, contents were broadened to include more secular material such as general news items, articles on literature and education, and a "Miscellany" column.
