Fraser's Magazine
Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country was a British magazine that existed from 1830 to 1882.
The body, founded by Hugh Fraser and William Maginn , was edited for about eight years by Maginn and later by Francis Mahony under the pseudonym Oliver Yorke . In 1841 the magazine was acquired by George William Nickisson and in 1847 it was sold to the Christian socialist John William Parker. James Anthony Froude directed it from 1860–1874, William Allingham from 1874–79.
The magazine initially had a clear political orientation in the sense of a paternalistic tory tendency and opposition to the laissez faire ideology of the Whigs . Later the literary aspect and the presentation of "celebrities" dominated. Well-known contributors included Robert Southey , Thomas Carlyle , William Makepeace Thackeray , Thomas Medwin , James Hogg , William Mudford , John Ruskin and John Stuart Mill .
