Chambers (Secundus) from the Chambers family, established in the early 19th century and continued through the late 19th century. This specific issue, published on December 20, 1884, features a mix of articles that encompass literature, scientific observations, and artistic discussions.

This section discusses the historical context of locust infestations, detailing government reports and the local population’s experiences with these destructive swarms. Following this segment, the journal includes a narrative continuing the fictional story of Madame De Vigne and her adversary Hector Laroche, illustrating the complex interpersonal dynamics and themes of loyalty and betrayal. Other pieces cover aspects of Persian art, a legacy tale involving a character named Colonel Redgrave, and even imaginative verses celebrating nature.
