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 England, a series on
animals and birds of Britain, descriptions of present-day manufacturing,
even an American alaman and a serial of a personal account of an immigrant's
problems. Poetry was published, too, and there are several illustrations
in each issue.
