Summary "Graham's Magazine, Vol. XXXVII, No. 6, December 1850" by Various is a historical periodical collection published in the mid-19th century. This magazine features a variety of content including fiction, poetry, literature discussions, and articles on diverse topics, reflecting the cultural and literary interests of the time. The opening part delves into lighthearted prose focused on the moon, exploring its influence on imagination, love, and societal beliefs. At the start of the publication, Calvin W. Philleo engages the reader in a whimsical and philosophical exploration of the moon, humorously declaring himself a self-confessed "lunatic." He contrasts rational perceptions of the moon with its romanticized view, as he debates its influence on human emotions and actions. Throughout this opening portion, the author weaves in anecdotes and societal commentary while inviting readers to embrace the moon as a potent symbol of inspiration and wonder, dismissing more scientific views as tedious. By establishing a playful tone, Philleo effectively sets the stage for further explorations of literature, poetry, and human experience recounted in the magazine.
