Biography:
Lewis, Henry C. (fl 1817-20)
Very little information is available about Lewis. He was a printer, publisher, and editor in Philadelphia but seemingly for only a short time. He first appears as editor of the Ladies' Literary Museum (1817); in that role, he solicited subscriptions for his book of poetry (1818). In 1818 he carried on the magazine under another name, the Lady's and Gentleman's Weekly Museum, and Philadelphia Reporter, and printed a Universal Song-Book. Some of his poems were set to music and performed. His next venture was the Literary and Musical Magazine (1819-20), but it did not last long. Afterwards, his name disappears from printed records.
