The Black Cat magazine (1895-1918)

For the convenience of anyone who would like to view copies of The Black Cat magazine online, I have compiled the following URLs which contain scans of the issue via the Google Books website. Simply follow the link provided and click on the main cover image there to begin reading.  (I did notice that not every year is available to view in full, though.  Some of the URLs only allowed limited word searches of the contents, but perhaps that will change in the future.)  Enjoy!

I noticed that several issues of The Black Cat from the late 1890s are also viewable online at http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/005691732 – scanned from copies in the library of the University of Michigan.
