A short review from the Literary Notices section of Harper's New Monthly Magazine of volume 2 of The Plough, the Loom, and the Anvil, a monthly journal edited by J. S. Skinner of Philadelphia. The reviewer describes its argument for harmony among agriculture, manufacturing and the mechanical trades, and for importing people rather than manufactured goods such as iron and cloth. It also gives practical details: 64 pages monthly, $3 for one subscriber or $5 for two.
