Not much fiction at start but increased towards end; authors include James Grant Wilson; Francis E. Willard.

Vol. IV. has but five numbers instead of six, the number for Oct. '70 "having been burned in a printing office fire and never reprinted". The two succeeding issues of this volume (Nov. and. Dec.) are therefore numbered 22 and 23 instead of 23 and 24; the paging is also continuous from Sept. to Nov., jumping the October number altogether.

No. 28 (April '71) was never printed, owing to some change of proprietors. The folios are continuous in this volume (V.) from March to May.

Nos. 35 and 36 (Nov. and Dec.'71) were never printed, owing to the burning of Chicago in Oct.'71.

No. 60 (Dec.'73) was combined with Jan. '74 as a Double Holiday Number; hence No. 60 does not exist separately.

The last issue was No. 62 (Feb.'74).

Land & Water has a complicated history: it first appeared on 27-Jun-1866 as a gentleman's country-life magazine and was merged with County Gentleman on 3-Jun-1905; it then started a separate life on 2-Jan-1915 even though the original was still shown as part of County Gentleman; it was then made official and started under a new publisher on 6-Jan-1916. Then, in 1920, it merged with The Field.

The new incarnation usually published one or two stories and on occasion a serial. Authors include Algernon Blackwood, Ernest Bramah, Alice Herbert, Katherine Rickford, Lord Dunsany, John Metcalfe ("The Bad Lands," 1920). Serials include "Greenmantle" John Buchan (1916), "The People of the Ruins" Shanks (1919-20).

A magazine featuring "some of the most poignant, original, and innovative science fiction & fantasy narratives that writers can create".
