In March of 1832 Charles Knight published the first issue of The Penny Magazine. As a project of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge SDUK the magazine aligned with the organization's mission to distribute easily accessible non-radical educational materials to working class Londoners. A new Magazine was published every week and featured wholesome articles on history geography natural science and general trivia. Annuals like these compiled a year's worth of issues into one handsome volume and were available for 7s 6d about £25 today.<br /> <br /> The Penny Magazine's 1d about £0.25 today price plus copious wood-engraved illustrations initially made the publication very appealing to a broad audience. In a somewhat ironic twist this low-cost magazine had very high production costs due to the number of illustrations. Not even a modest price increase to 4d could salvage the budget and The Penny Magazine issued its last on October 31 1847. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge unknown

1900Q1833ca. 1900. Hardcover. Fair. Half leather folio 16 x 11 inches. Manuscript pagination to 390. Leather rubbed and a little tattered at the edges but consolidated to treat red rot and free of residue. The first 48 pages are clippings from assorted publications starting with a lengthy 1895 critique of what went wrong for the Confederates published in the New York Sun. It picks up on page 56 with clippings from the Milwaukee Free Press founded by Harry P. Myrick spanning its very first issue printed June 18 1901 through December 9. The Free Press clippings occupy up to page 158 with the remainder up to 390 left unused. Articles about executive power tariffs tax evasion pension fraud post office deficits and chronic complaints about other news outlets' "unfair and mean" reporting are among the timely conceits. The book is believed to have been compiled by one of the Free Press' contributing writers and primarily his own work. A few items have pencil notes complaining about edits made by H.P. Myrick founding editor of the Free Press; a few clippings also have Myrick's name written at the bottom. Pro-LaFollette and anti-Tammany but the politics aren't always clear or consistent regarding Southern sympathies imperialism and women's rights. Spelling including immigrant surnames and grammar is the United States or Are is a recurring point of contention. Very tidily composed with evenly spaced continuous strips to rather pleasing aesthetic effect especially with the age toning. On first consideration a kind of foil to Michael Lesy's Wisconsin Death Trip full of mainstream politics and pettiness it still contains an inescapable amount of Midwestern weird quacky characters and tabloid mystery: see "A Foolish Woman and Man" on a married woman murdering a "sporty young man" who had made unwanted sexual advances our author is unsympathetic; and the tale of a "Quack Preacher" from Chicago who "expects to be lonesome in heaven for lack of men" noting the decline in male churchgoers--to which our author responds "to have to sit and hear a donkey preach keeps them away." Another clipping about the investigation of Francis Schlatter: "Investigations touching the sanity of other healers than Schlatter ought to result in a large measure of benefit to the world and a largely increased population at the asylums. Other topics: "Wisconsin Bad Boys" fraternal hazing 129 "Education and Anarchism" 123 Admission of Hawaii as a state 77 death of McKinley 114 women working in offices 111 contentions on the term "Polly-wog" 33 Steel strike 88 plague scare 89 alcohol in Alabama 131 wealth distribution "harmless amusements" gambling voter suppression 125 divorce and "The Mistakes of Women" 12.
