"First published in 1881 by The Century Company of New York City, The Century initially focused on current events and illustrated historical series, and was aimed at upper-class American men. Over its publication history the focus of articles changed but it continued to boast high-profile literary and political contributors. The Century was also widely renowned for its secularist tone, often including features submitted by authors who were agnostic or atheists, including Bertrand Russell. Under Glen Frank's editorship from 1921-1925, The Century was popularized by its editorials on current events and cut back on prior illustrative features. Articles tended to focus on political, legal and national subjects such as immigration, left-wing politics, Communism, divorce rates and engineering." —Worldcat // **A heavy item.
