Monthly Magazine, 1810 (John Adams Library, Boston Public Library)

The Monthly Magazine (1796–1843) of London[1][2] began publication in February 1796.

Contributors[edit]

Richard Phillips was the publisher and a contributor on political issues. The editor for the first ten years was a literary jack-of-all-trades, Dr John Aikin.[3] Other contributors included William Blake,[4] Samuel Taylor Coleridge, George Dyer, Henry Neele, Charles Lamb,[3] and James Hogg.[5] The magazine also published the earliest fiction by Charles Dickens, the first of what would become Sketches by Boz.[6]

The circulation of the magazine in early 1830s was about 600.[6] From 1839 the magazine was for two years edited by Francis Foster Barham and John Abraham Heraud. Its content in that period has been described by a recent American analyst as "popularizations of post-Kantian philosophy, esoteric mystical commentary, literary effusions, and idealistic calls for child-centered education and communitarian socialism."[7]
