Introduction
At 72 pages, the November issue is the longest of the twelve issues of The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine . Most of the issue continues multi-part entries, including Cracroft’s essay “The Sceptic and the Infidel” , Fulford’s story “Cavalay” and Vernon Lushington’s essay on Carlyle. Unique to this issue are two poems, one by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and one by Fulford , and a short story of uncertain authorship. This issue also includes an advertisement for the second medallion by Woolner, intended to be bound along with the magazine.
Besides being one of the three issues to print a work by Rossetti, this issue is significant as one of only two issues that does not contain any work by William Morris (the other is June (Mackail 90)).
