The
Penny Magazine, published every Saturday, was aimed
at the working class. It was part of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful
Knowledge's program for liberal reform. for its reader, however, it was a source
of information on subjects of general interest: everyday things like tea and
coffee, well-known places in the world, a series on animals and birds,
descriptions of present-day manufacturing, even American topics of interest.
Poetry was published, too, and there are several illustrations in each issue.
