The Burlington Magazine

Country: UK

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).

Burning Sky

Country: US
Total Issues: 12

"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."

Burr McIntosh Monthly

Country: US
Total Issues: 86

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.
