McGuire "Harper's Round Table, December 22, 1896" by Various is a collection of articles, stories, and illustrations published during the late 19th century. This monthly periodical features a range of content aimed primarily at young readers, with themes centered around adventure, moral lessons, and the spirit of Christmas.

The beginning of this installment features John Henry Lewis, a boy torn between his mother’s protective instincts and the adventurous urges instilled by his father. As he interacts with a less fortunate friend, Jim Mills, the narrative sets the stage for themes of kindness, selflessness, and the holiday spirit.
