The American Review: A Whig Journal

Main page for an 1845 edition of the "American Review."

The American Review, also known as American Review: A Whig Journal and American Whig Review, was a monthly American newspaper based in New York. It was published by Wiley and Putnam, and operated by its owner George H. Colton. Its first edition was published in January of 1845. In December 1844, Poel reviewed Colton's work in The Literati of New York City, published in Godey's Lady's Book. He described Colton's poem, Tecumseh, as "insufferably tedious," but said the magazine was one of the best of its kind in the United States. The American Review had the distinction of having been the first newspaper authorized to publish El Cuervo in February 1845 (it had appeared on January 29 of the same year in the Evening Mirror of New York, presumably from an early American plate Review). It was printed under the alias "Quarles". Also published for the first time, if anonymously, another well-known poem by Poe, Ulalume. Among the author's works published in the American Review are Conversation with a Mummy and The truth about the case of Mr. Valdemar.

The American Review ceased publication in 1849, unable to pay its taxpayers.
