"The Great Round World and What Is Going On In It, Vol. 1, No. 32, June 17, 1897" is a historical children's newspaper publication edited by William Beverley Harison during the late 19th century. Aimed at boys and girls, it covers current events and topics of interest to young readers of that era. The publication discusses significant global events and issues, making it an educational resource for children curious about the world around them. This particular issue addresses several pressing topics of the time, including the ongoing Cuban War, where Spain is reportedly seeking assistance from other powers to quell the Cuban uprising. It details the challenges faced by the United States in navigating its role in the conflict and the humanitarian issues that arise as reports of suffering among civilians emerge. Beyond this, the publication also touches upon the geopolitical tensions in Europe, notably between Turkey and Greece over Thessaly, and mentions the impending celebration of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, highlighting societal attitudes toward imperialism and national pride.
