The Illustrated London News is probably the most interesting of the "magazine" newspapers published.

A weekly publication, it contains a superb collection of news and informative articles, and lots of excellent illustrations ranging from those depicting overseas events in all parts of the world, and those in England. Churches, people, wonderful early views of towns and villages, etc.

It provides an excellent source of reference material for historians and genealogists.

The weekly editions can occasionally be found, usually bound into volumes of all of the issues for a half year, and it is these collections which we have reproduced on CD so that you can view them easily using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

The Penny Magazine was published weekly by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. A collection of hundreds of fascinating and informative illustrated articles with a very wide range of topics, both for Great Britain and various other parts of the world. They contain wonderful illustrations!
