Galaxy, The (1866–78), monthly literary magazine, published at New York and intended to counteract the supposed provincialism of the Atlantic Monthly. Clemens was one of its assistant editors, conducting a department of “Memoranda” (1870–71) devoted to humorous sketches. Other contributors included Henry James, J.W. De Forest, Rebecca H. Davis, H.H. Boyesen, Rose Terry Cooke, Whitman, Hayne, and E.C. Stedman. In addition to fiction, the magazine was distinguished for its literary criticism, historical and political articles, and scientific essays. Financially unsuccessful, it sold its subscription list to the Atlantic Monthly.
