The mathematical miscellany (1836–1839)

Charles Gill (1805–1855), who immigrated to the United States from England in 1830, began to edit The Mathematical Miscellany (1836–1839) while teaching on Long Island (New York, U.S.A.). Most of America's best mathematicians of the day were contributors, including Benjamin Peirce, Theodore Strong, and William Lenhart. The contents of the journal and the correspondence between Gill and its contributors, as well as the journal's troubles, give insights into American mathematics in the middle of the 19th century.
