Once a Month

This monthly periodical was edited by T. S. Arthur and published by T. S. Arthur and Sons. This literary periodical was established in January, 1869 . There were two volumes per year each containing six monthly issues. In 1869 the individual issues had 96 pages. It is 7.5" x 5.5". The editors noted that the size of this magazine was chosen because of its "- neatness and compactness - being easily carried and pleasant to the hand".

The subscription price was $2.00 per year.

As with Arthur's other periodicals, if a person was able to procure a number of new subscribers, prizes such as books and pictures were awarded.

In 1871 only three numbers were published. Thereafter subscribers were sent Arthur's Monthly as a substitute.

This journal contained mostly articles and stories from foreign authors and publications, mainly English. It should not be confused with the earlier "Once a Month" magazine published in Springfield, Mass. by W. J. Holland and Company.
