Summary: "Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, No. 728, December 1877" is a periodical publication that offers short stories, literary commentary, and various articles on scientific and artistic topics, likely produced in the late 19th century. One of the featured stories in this issue is "The Hidden Box: A Tale of the Covenanters," which centers on the plight of the Scottish Covenanters during a time of persecution, focusing on the life of James MacWilliam and his family as they navigate challenges of faith, love, and survival.
