Childs of Philadelphia bought what had previously been Norton's Literary Gazette and Publishers' Circular and converted it to the American Publishers' Circular and Literary Gazette, which was used as an advertising medium by publishers and was designed primarily for book sellers. The Criterion was merged with it in 1856 and Charles R. Rode, editor of that literary journal, became editor of the Circular.
