The Leisure Hour 1882
half-leather hardback with contributions from journalists, authors and specialists in their field, and plentifully illustrated throughout. By 1882, the Leisure Hour was an established late Victorian periodical of some note. The contributions arrived from many specialist quarters and ranged from journalistic inquiry, social comment, biography and art to science, natural history and voyages to new lands. Intended to instruct and entertain, the magazine also featured verse, genre fiction, and fable. This 1882 omnibus of the Leisure Hour still appeals for its invigorating spirit of inquiry, its cultured side, and its informative articles about the wonders of the world.
