The Token (1829-1842) was an annual, illustrated gift book, containing stories, poems and other light and entertaining reading.

History

The Token was chiefly edited by Samuel Griswold Goodrich (and briefly by Nathaniel Parker Willis), and published in Boston, Massachusetts.

In 1833 The Token merged with The Souvenir to become The Token and Atlantic Souvenir, which continued until 1842.[1][2][3][4]
