Mathematical Work of J. C. Corbin

J. C.  Corbin published mathematical work in the following periodicals.

Barnes' Educational Monthly. This periodical was published by the New York based company A. S. Barnes & Co. The periodical's Mathematical Department was managed by F. P. Matz,  then a professor at Bowdon College (in Georgia). The periodical was first published in November 1874. 

Some issues are listed on WorldCat.

University of Washington holds Vol. 4, No. 1 to Vol. 7, No. 7. Boston College says the periodical was published from Vol 1 (1877) to Vol. 8 (1882).

The School Visitor or The School Visitor: Devoted to Mathematics, Grammar, Notes & Queries, and Examination Questions was published and edited by John S. Royer and Thomas Ewbank, working out of Ansonia, OH. One "Mr. Southwick" managed the Notes & Queries Department. Advertisements in the Mathematical Visitor show that the periodical was being published between 1880 and 1887. Issues were published as Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 3, 1880)-v. 15, no. 4 (Mar. 1894).

The following issues are available online:

• Vol. 7, August 1886, No. 8
• Vol. 7, October 1886, No. 10
• Vol. 8, No. 3
• Vol 8, August 1887, No. 8.
• Vol. 8, No. 10

Volume 12–13 and Volume 16–17 are held by the Ohio History Connection. Oberlin holds Volumes 1 and 2. See WorldCat for more details.

b) Mathematical Gazette published in Erie, Pennsylvania. This is different from the journal published in London. I can't find any more information about this. Artemas Martin was living in Erie and published two of the periodicals listed below. However, this periodical is not mentioned any account of Martin or in lists of 19th century math periodicals.

The list of contributors to volume III states that Corbin has a contribution on page 80 of Volume III, but I can't find any such contribution on that page. Maybe this is a typo.

Mathematical Visitor

The Mathematical Visitor was published by Artemas Martin, then based in Erie, PA. The first issue was published in October 1878. Martin published appears to have published about 10 issues. Volume 1 consisted of issues numbered 1 through 6, published between 1878 and 1881. Publication then became irregular. A history of the journal published in the American Mathematical Monthly, Volume 2 consists of issue numbers 1 through 4.

Missing: Volume II, No. 4.

The Mathematical Magazine: A Journal of Elementary Mathematics

Like the Mathematical Visitor, the Mathematical Magazine was founded, edited and published by Artemas Martin. It appears that the magazine was published in two volumes: Volume I and Volume II. A complete set of Volume I (consisting of issues 1–12). It is unclear how many issues in Volume II appeared. Issue  numbers 9 and 10 have been digitized and are online. A history of the magazine in the American Mathematical Monthly indicates that issues in Volume II up to number 12 were published. However, xxx moved to D.C. and said only isolated numbers were published.

Missing: Volume II, No. 1–8, 10–12?
