Ha-Melitz was a representative of the progressive or haskalah movement, and even as severe a critic as Abraham Kovner admitted that it had been ”more useful to the Jews than have the other Hebrew newspapers” (Ḥeḳer Dabar, p. 52 ff., Warsaw, 1866). While it was not as literary or scientific as some of its contemporaries, Ha-Melitz usually had more news and debates of interest, and was consequently more popular. J. A. Goldenblum was for many years associated with Zederbaum in his publication. Abraham Shalom Friedberg and Judah Leib Gordon were the best known of its associate editors. Almost every prominent Hebrew writer of his times contributed to it. Several collections of literary and scientific articles appeared as supplements to Ha-Melitz in Zederbaum's time: Ḳohelet (Saint Petersburg, 1881), Migdonot (1883), Melitẓ Aḥad Minni Elef (on the occasion of the appearance of No. 1,000; Saint Petersburg, 1884), Leḳeṭ Amarim (1889), and Arba'ah Ma'amarim (1893). Among similar publications issued by Zederbaum's successor were Ha-Yeḳev (Saint Petersburg, 1894), Ha-Osem and Ha-Gat (1897), and Ha-Gan (1899). Ha-Melitz was intermittently published until 1903.
