Miss Mathers (Comin' Thro' the Rye, 1875, etc) was a very popular novelist in her own right, so the likelihood is that this magazine published fiction of her type (note: a later Burlington Magazine, founded in 1903, is devoted to the fine arts).

"Stories can be set in different time periods or present day, but must be a blend of both Science Fiction and Horror. We look for adult, spine-tingling tales of terror and the unknown, and especially welcome original stories of ordinary people confined or isolated, and faced with extraordinary circumstances."

Promoted as a magazine of cheerful wholesome philosophy, it was a calculatedly commercial proposition. The bulk of the publication consisted of pictures (usually beautiful women/actresses) and sentimental mottoes printed on heavy paper and suitable for framing. The pictures were strictly moral, but managed to include a fair amoun of exposed flesh in the way of arms, legs, and carefuly draped breasts.

In its late life it also ran some fiction.

Published several of Poe's stories (inc. "The Fall of the House of Usher" Sep-1839); also J.H. Ingraham.

Subtitled "The Journal of Absurd and Surreal Fiction" the magazine offers a home for "for stories who have never felt like they fit in, stories that want to take time off from their 9 to 5 work week of searching for the meaning in the universe, stories that take a moment out of their nightly television programming to see what has always been there but doesn't show itself until someone changes the channel".

"Claimed to be the biggest boys' paper ever existed, although this was not quite correct, the Boys' Own Picture Gallery 1872 being larger. Quite a good paper containing 8 complete stories every week, plus comic strips in the centre pages. Its most striking feature was its brilliant coloured cover which Newnes hoped, no doubt, would attract many thousands of boys." (W.O.G. Lofts)
