Within non-formal education there were the libertarian athenaeums or popular, social centers in which different informative, cultural or work tasks were developed. The athenaeums had a very strong tradition where anarchism had strength, however in the war they even expanded into areas with little CNT roots. In some cases such as Madrid, these athenaeums came to create schools, have health insurance and promote another type of service. Various communities also carried out other initiatives such as the creation of libraries, artistic activities, a cinema forum, the creation of theater groups, athenaeums, the foundation of its own academies, or nursery schools.

Other types of libraries included commercial circulating libraries, athenaeums, and school-district libraries. The start of the development of the American library as we know it today, however, began in full force between 1850 and 1900.

Some sixty reviews appeared in America, the criterion for counting as a review being more than two lines of comment.Parker (1988), 712 Only a couple of reviewers expressed themselves early enough not to be influenced by news of the British reception. Though Moby-Dick did contain the Epilogue and so accounted for Ishmael's survival, the British reviews influenced the American reception. The earliest American review, in the Boston Post for November 20, quoted the London Athenaeums scornful review, not realizing that some of the criticism of The Whale did not pertain to Moby-Dick.

The Punch serialisation attracted little critical comment; The Athenaeums literary critic thought the series "may have escaped unnoticed amid better jokes". When the Diary was published as a book, Punch heralded it in its issue of 23 July 1892 as "very funny", adding: "not without a touch of pathos". However, apart from a warmly approving report in The Saturday Review, the book's initial critical reception was lukewarm. The Reviews critic thought the book "admirable, and in some of its touches [it] goes close to genius", with a natural and irresistible appeal: "The Diary has amused us from cover to cover".

In 1931 the New Statesman merged with the Liberal weekly The Nation and Athenaeum and changed its name to the New Statesman and Nation, which it kept until 1964. The chairman of The Nation and Athenaeums board was the economist John Maynard Keynes, who came to be an important influence on the newly merged paper, which started with a circulation of just under 13,000. It also absorbed The Week-end Review in 1934 (one element of which survives in the shape of the New Statesmans Weekly Competition, and the other the "This England" feature). The Competition feature, in which readers submitted jokes and often parodies and pastiches of the work of famous authors, became one of the most famous parts of the magazine.
