Abstract

There has been much written on the history of legal periodicals, especially academic law reviews, but the early history of legal periodicals in the United States has only received cursorily review in two older articles.¹ Frederick Hicks lists forty-eight periodicals published in antebellum America, of which twelve were published in Pennsylvania, four before 1831, including no. 1 (American Law Journal, 1808-12), no. 6 (Journal of Jurisprudence, 1821), no. 11 (United States Law and Legal Intelligence, 1829-31) and no. 14 ( Journal of Law, 1830-31).² This article will review this last periodical as an ongoing project to appraise Pennsylvania legal periodicals.³
