Chambers (Secundus) and was established by William and Robert Chambers in the early 19th century. This collection likely spans the late 19th century, around the 1880s. It features a variety of content, including essays, stories, poems, and articles that explore themes in literature, science, and art, reflecting the interests and cultural currents of the time. The journal includes several pieces, such as "Winds of Heaven" by Richard Jefferies, which poetically describes the sensory experiences of nature, particularly focusing on the influence of wind in a rural landscape, emphasizing its sounds, movements, and interplay with the environment. Other notable contributions include Grant Allen’s "In All Shades," which narrates a dramatic conflict involving characters caught in a riot, showcasing themes of social tension and racial conflict. "A Friend of the Family" by Charles Gibbon portrays a whimsical yet serious misunderstanding that unfolds among friends, highlighting interpersonal relationships and social dynamics.
