	§10. "Scribner’s Monthly; The Century Magazine". XIX. Later Magazines. Vol. 17. Later National Literature, ...
		While Harper’s Magazine may well claim to be the pioneer among high-class illustrated magazines in America, it was not spurred to its greatest exertions until the appearance of Scribner’s Monthly in 1870.
		The rivalry between these two magazines, and later the triangular rivalry engaged in by Harper’s, the Century, and Scribner’s Magazine, has led to great improvements in the art of engraving and in the technique of printing illustrations.
		Holland was to have continued in the editorship, but before the appearance of the first issue of the Century he died and was succeeded by Richard Watson Gilder, who from the first had been associate editor.

		Like Harper’s Magazine it is closely associated with a great publishing house, but unlike Harper’s in the early years it was never a mere “tender to the business.” Though announced by a rather conventional prospectus it began auspiciously.
		It is not easy to characterize the distinctions between Harper’s Magazine, the Century and Scribner’s Magazine as these have existed for the last thirty years.
		It was for Harper’s Magazine and Scribner’s Monthly to show that pictures in the text were not incompatible with literary dignity and excellence; and they did this by securing the best available literary material, and developing illustrations that were not unworthy to accompany it.

	The poster at the turn of the century Magazine Antiques - Find Articles
		The short-lived but overwhelming proliferation of posters, magazines, and books in America during the 1890's coincided with the increase in literacy and leisure time, the desire for adult education, and innovations in technology.
		Penfield, for example, was one of the first to include the cover of Harper's in the design of posters advertising the magazine, although he did not design the rather conservative covers of the early issues of the periodical.

	Wired 10.01: Turn of the Century
		But go back a century and a half and you find an American economy in which there were literally none.
		The American machine-tool industry was to the second half of the 19th century what the computer and networking industry was to the second half of the 20th: the country's most important driver of technological innovation.
		The machinists of the Franklin Institute, and their colleagues in cities like Cincinnati and Providence, Rhode Island, built lathes and planers and drills and screw cutters so that other companies could build rifles and clocks and sewing machines.

	The National Road - Fort Necessity National Battlefield
		The Conestoga wagon was the "tractor-trailer" of the 19th Century.
		The Federal Highway Act of 1921 established a program of federal aid to encourage the states to build "an adequate and connected system of highways, interstate in character." By the mid 1920's the grid system of numbering highways was in place, thus creating US Route 40 out of the ashes of the National Road.
		Technology of the 20th century combined with increased interest in historic preservation has led to the creation of heritage corridors.

	Poets' Corner - Anthology of Magazine Verse, 1913 - Introduction
		The medium of magazine publication, towards which some critics, and some poets too (a fact which can hardly be justified), and a considerable portion of the reading public have a disparaging opinion, is deserving of better repute for the general high quality of poetic art that is published.
		Since their appearance in the magazines and before the close of the year when the contents of this volume was made up, two poems herein included appeared in the original volumes of their authors.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Brendan
		It is, therefore, perhaps possible that the legends, current in the ninth and committed to writing in the eleventh century, have for foundation an actual sea-voyage the destination of which cannot however be determined.
		Thus it is put among the Canary Islands on the Herford chart of the world (beginning of the fourteenth century); it is substituted for the island of Madeira on the chart of the Pizzigani (1367), on the Weimar chart (1424), and on the chart of Beccario (1435).
		At the end of the sixteenth century the failure to find the island led the cartographers Apianus and Ortelius to place it once more in the ocean west of Ireland; finally, in the early part of the nineteenth century belief in the existence of the island was completely abandoned.

		Later, he contributed papers to "Harper's Magazine," which were followed in "The Century" (old series) by a number of illustrated articles on the forests, glaciers, and scenery of the Sierra.
		He has also contributed from time to time many interesting articles to the San Francisco "Bulletin." For two years his leisure time was chiefly occupied in editing "Picturesque California," for which he himself wrote most of the descriptive text relating to the mountain scenery of the Pacific coast.
		It is not surprising that such a lover of Yosemite was also among the first to make energetic protest against the uninstructed meddling with the beauty of wildness of the valley, and to show the need of greater skill and care in the management of its affairs.--Editor.

	GSB \| Chicago: Events of the Century
		I would say the most significant event of the 20th century was the assassination by Serbian nationalists in June 1914 of the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Archduke Ferdinand, on that bridge in Sarajevo.
		It can be argued that the failures of the 20th century stemmed from the inability of the established powers to manage the emergence of those states with aspirations to great power status, notably Germany and Japan.
		Significant events of the next century will be the continued “graying” of populations in developed countries with the ensuing political and economic repercussions and the end of big government as we have known it in this century.

	About The Century Dictionary Online
		Of course, it has always had its admirers, as evidenced, among other things, by the fact that it is still actively cited, and perhaps more tellingly by the fact that over the years its contents (illustrative quotations as well as definitions) have been quietly pillaged by other dictionaries.
		The elegant typeface and lavish illustrations of The Century Dictionary are among its chief glories.
		At this point the Century Dictionary Project found what can best be described as its "angel." In the image processing group at ATandT Labs, the most trusted and respected specialist in high-volume scanning is Tom Johnson of Root Technologies in Princeton, New Jersey.

	CAMERA: Christian Century Magazine Allows Wall Error
		One might think the bi-weekly magazine’s readiness to correct this (rather inconsequential) error proves its adherence to the journalistic standards agreed upon by the American media.
		But the Christian Century’s refusal to correct another, much more substantial factual error reveals that–at least when it comes to Israel–the magazine’s editors are not so concerned with factual accuracy.
		An editor explained that the decision not to correct was based solely on the columnist's insistence that he "stands by his observation" on the purorted path of the barrier.

	An 11th-Century Scandal by C. Colt Anderson, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
		Then, as now, the higher clergy seemed to be completely unaware of the damage that scandalous sexual behavior was causing to both the victims and the community as a whole.
		The laity had granted the clergy temporal authority and wealth; so when the clergy failed in their spiritual mission, it was the laity that had the duty to take these things back, in collaboration with reformers in the clergy and religious orders.
		Their inclusion by him in the process of reforming even the highest members of the clergy illustrates Damian’s view that all in the church have the duty to correct their “superiors” publicly when they see serious sin or deviations from tradition.

	TIME 100: Person of the Century - Albert Einstein

		And for many advanced thinkers of the 1920s, from Dadaists to Cubists to Freudians, that was a fitting credo, reflecting what science historian David Cassidy calls "the incomprehensiveness of the contemporary scene — the fall of monarchies, the upheaval of the social order, indeed, all the turbulence of the 20th century."

		The plan of the Project for the New American Century must be countered with a vision that insists militarization and pre-emptive war is not the path to real security.
		We must advance the vision of a world where international institutions are strengthened rather than destroyed, where global poverty is seriously addressed, where all countries, including the United States, are disarming their weapons of mass destruction, and where human rights are taken seriously.
