Title from caption. ; Founded by Dr. Tobias Watkins and his brother-in-law Stephen Simpson, the monthly Portico was a well-conducted literary miscellany. The editors wrote much of the material, and there were contributions of poetry, criticism, science, and miscellany by others: John Neal, John Pierpont, and Paul Allen all contributed extensively, and other contributors included H. M. Brackenridge, William Gwynn, E. Denison, and John H. B. Latrobe. Literary criticism received the most attention in the Portico; Byron, Scott, Southey, Moore, Fielding, Cowper, and Cumberland were discussed at length, and American books were also given some attention. Travel and biography, poetry, and some science and mathematics also appeared, along with some religion, but no politics. Most of the wit and humor was supplied in the essay series and the "Delphian Evenings." ; Some numbers issued together. ; Mode of access: Internet.
