"Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, Fifth Series, No.…" is a periodical published by W. & R. Chambers during the late 19th century, around 1886. This collection serves as a forum for exploring a range of topics, including literature, science, and art, often featuring essays and articles discussing societal issues, customs, and the human experience at that time. The likely topic of this journal revolves around the commentary on smuggling practices and societal attitudes toward crime, as well as discussions on other analogous aspects of daily life. The contents of this specific issue are characterized by a detailed exploration of smuggling, examining both its historical context and contemporary practices. An anonymous examining officer compares the romanticized view of smugglers in popular literature with the grim realities of their activities, illustrating the persistent admiration for these outlaws in society. The writer recounts various examples of smugglers’ clever evasion tactics, showcasing instances from the past and juxtaposing them against present-day methods. Additionally, the journal includes articles addressing subjects like the ivory trade, anthropoid apes, and personal reflections on fortune and happiness, all contributing to a multifaceted perspective on the human condition during this period.
