The final issue (No. 12, December 1841) of the first volume of the Lowell Offering, a literary periodical written by women mill workers of Lowell, Massachusetts. It contains an allegory on Ambition and Contentment, patriotic and religious verse, two pieces of sheet music, short fiction (Emma and Grace), a reminiscence of an old farm-house, a sketch of Elder Isaac Townsend, and an engraving of the First Universalist Church in Lowell. It closes with an editorial concluding the volume that answers critics who say the magazine shows only the bright side of factory life, followed by the volume's index of contents, poetry and engravings.
