The Penny Magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, issue 3


Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

The Penny Magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was published in competition to Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, which started two months earlier. Costing just one penny, it was aimed at the working class and needed broad circulation in order to survive. Initially successful, its content proved to miss the mark and be of more interest to the upper classes and folded after a couple of years. Its format was to offer short essays on a variety of topics the paternalistic publisher deemed important to its readership. This was the third edition. - Summary by LynneT (1 hr 14 min)
