Abstract
In reviewing the history of Pennsylvania legal periodicals, Olwine's Law Journal has one of the shortest publishing histories covering less than five months from late December 1849 to mid- May 1850.1 The newspaper was published weekly on Saturday in quarto size, in twenty-one issues over the six-month period. Each issue consisted of eight pages, consecutively paginated, with 168 pages in the entire publication. Isaac Wayne Olwine (1827?- 1863) was the editor of the newspaper and served as Deputy Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, whose father Anthony was prothonotary at the time.
