Munsey's Magazine, Volume XXI (1899)
· April–September 1899

This index from Volume XXI documents a comprehensive general-interest magazine featuring substantial nonfiction alongside fiction. The special articles span contemporary topics: geopolitics ("Cape to Cairo Railroad," "Today in the Philippines," pieces on the Spanish-American War and Dreyfus affair); American institutions and society ("Cuba Under American Rule," "New Wall Street," "Ball Giving in New York," articles on Coney Island and Hudson River summer homes); and technological progress ("Age of Invention," railroad safety). Three serials run throughout the volume—Anthony Hope's *The King's Mirror*, Max Pemberton's *The Garden of Swords*, and Stanley J. Weyman's *Sophia*—alongside numerous short stories and storiettes exploring romantic and domestic themes. Poetry contributors include Clinton Scollard and Bliss Carman. Regular departments cover theater, literary chat, and society.
