VELOCIPEDE LITERATURE.
Until very recently, velocipede literature has been confined to some few magazine articles, editorials in scientific, illustrated, and other newspapers, and various and constant newspaper squibs.
Now, however, the velocipedestrians have a novelty in a paper of their own, which has made its appearance in New York. It is to be published monthly by Messrs. Pickering & Davis. It is a quarto of eight pages, and is entitled “The Velocipedist.” “The object this paper has in view, is to record everything of interest in the velocipede world.” It is edited by W. Chester King, late of Athens, Greece, whom Horace Greeley, in the “Tribune” of February 1st, 1869, justly styles a “brilliant and accomplished young litterateur.” This young gentleman has distinguished himself, in a marked manner, in various branches of journalism; and “in velocipede literature he is as far ahead of his contemporaries as, in Virgil, Tityrus tells us, Rome was in advance of other cities.
