mystery, and even bigamy and adultery---as long as they were

the pattern, perpetuated by Household Words, of relying upon
entertaining fiction as a main attraction, with a serial story as
the central feature. Its prominence was due to the success of

coupled with information of the least disconcerting kind,
brooking no serious discussion of religion, politics, or morals.
It was illustrated by Millais, du Maurier, F. Walker, Leighton and
Small. Its format was similar to Blackwood's, Temple Bar, and
Longman's. In general, its pages provide an outline of British
fiction since 1860. Circulation was down to 20,000 in the '70s,
12,000 by 1880. Its tradition of anonymity was relaxed in 1880:

The object of the FR was to become an organ for the unbiased

developed between those who conceived of it as an organ of liberalism
and progress and those who wished to maintain a true balance between
175
established and new (especially 1n England). Between 1865 and
1880 its pages were crowded with classical texts of unbelief.
and it became the most militant of middleclass rationalist
periodicals of the Post-Darwinian period: outspoken in itn
rationalism, its attack on the Church, and its support of the
labor movement and Radical politics. In England, it became as
important as the Nineteenth Century. During its early years all
articles were signed. Circulation was about 2500 in 1872.

original material. It was the first example of a popular illustrated
magazine, 20 years before others of the same type joined the field. It
included articles on travel, exploration, science, art, social and
domestic life, poetry, fiction, and general information---making it
almost an encyclopedia of the living world. It clearly expressed the
west-ward movement (as opposed to the New England emphasis of the
Atlantic). It's pre-'70s competitors were the Atlantic, Graham's,
Putnam's, and the
178
Knickerbocker. Later competition came from Scribner's, especially
in its art department. In general, Harper's may be taken as "an

had some importance as a literary vehicle, but was most noteworthy
as a vigorous political journal of conservative tendencies.
It aimed at a graphic, accurate style of reporting, and its files
for the period are well-known as a vivid pictorial and authentic
news source for Civil War history---its style makes it a precursor
of today's weekly pictorial and news magazine. Harper’s Weekly

the magazine as an instrument of civic and social reform, through
its overthrowing of Tammany and smashing the notorious Tweed Ring.

PSM aimed "to meet the broadening conception of science as
analysis of mind." It became notable for its application of the
scientific method to sociology, psychology, economics, and politics,
as well as natural science. Begun as an eclectic monthly without
entertaining features, PSM published an increasing number of original
papers in the '80s and '90S. Authors increasingly represented
American scientists, chiefly college and university professors.
and PSM often printed addresses before learned societies or important
academic occasions. PSM translated Hartmann's Philosophy of the
Unconscious for Vol. 2, and published C. S. Peirce's Illustrations of
the Logic of Science in 1877 and 1878. It also did much to advance
evolutionary theory, publishing Herbert Spencer's Study of Sociology
