The editor for the first issues was Evert Augustus Duyckinck but was succeeded in May 1847 by Charles Fenno Hoffman. During this time, the magazine's content mainly included reviews of books as well as fine arts, drama and music. In October 1848, Duyckinck and his brother George Long Duyckinck purchased the magazine and became both its publishers and its editors. They introduced travel sketches, politics, social matters and translations to the content.
