The two had rooms together for a time, where
the members of the "Improvement Circle," chiefly composed of
"Offering" writers, were hospitably received.
The "Operatives' Magazine" and the "Lowell Offerig" were united
in the year 1842, under the title of the "Lowell Offering and Ma-
gazine."
(And--to correct a mistake which has crept into print--I will say
that I never attained the honor of being editor of either of
these magazines. I was only one of their youngest contributors.
The "Lowell Offering" closed its existence when I was a little
more than twenty years old. The only continuous editing I have
ever been engaged in was upon "Our Young Folks." About twenty
years ago I was editor-in-charge of that magazine for a year or
more, and I had previously been its assistant-editor from its
beginning. These explanatory items, however, do not quite belong
to my narrative, and I return to our magazines.)
We did not receive much criticism; perhaps it would have been
better for us if we had.
