The Family Herald PDF Download

Family Herald Monthly was a monthly magazine published from 1842-1940. The magazine was originally founded by George Biggs as a weekly penny fiction designed to appeal to a readership of self-respecting families. It was the first journal to use the Young and Delcambre typesetting machine, which reduced production costs and allowed prices to stay low. By 1830, circulation of the magazine in England was estimated at 300,000 copies per week. The magazine was published by the Family Herald Press, London and regularly featured serialized fiction, dressmaking tips, Children s Hour and housekeeping advice.
