 How to find early journal content:

There are a few ways to find early journal content on JSTOR, much of which is open access. Use JSTOR to access journal content published before 1923 in the United States (and prior to 1870 elsewhere) for free online. The “Early Journal Content” on JSTOR includes more than 500,000 public domain articles from more than 200 journals on the JSTOR platform.

For 19th Century British Pamphlets, you can browse the journals included here: 19th Century British Pamphlets Collection

But that's not the only way to find early journal content. You can also:

1. Go to advanced search,
2. Select a date range for the time period you're interested in.

Note: If you're not a member of a subscribing institution, make sure you select "Content I can access" as your access type before you hit search. That way results you get will include open content and content you can read for free with a MyJSTOR account.
