But the first magazineof the modern type was _Harper's Monthly_, founded in 1850. Americanbooks have always suffered, and still continue to suffer, from the wantof an international copyright, which has flooded the country with cheapreprints and translations of foreign works, with which the domesticproduct has been unable to contend on such uneven terms. With thefirst ocean steamers there {512} started up a class of large-pagedweeklies in New York and elsewhere, such as _Brother Jonathan_, the_N...ew World_, and the _Corsair_, which furnished their readers with thefreshest writings of Dickens and Bulwer and other British celebritieswithin a fortnight after their appearance in London. This stillfurther restricted the profits of native authors and nearly drove themfrom the field of periodical literature. By special arrangement thenovels of Thackeray and other English writers were printed in_Harper's_ in installments simultaneously with their issue in Englishperiodicals. The _Atlantic_ was the first of our magazines which wasfounded expressly for the encouragement of home talent, and which had apurely Yankee flavor.
