Chambers's Edinburgh Journal
Encyclopedia
Chambers's Edinburgh Journal was a weekly 16-page magazine
started by William Chambers in 1832. The first edition was dated 4 February 1832, and priced at one penny. Topics included history, religion, language, and science. William was soon joined as joint editor by his brother Robert, who wrote many of the articles for the early issues, and within a few years the journal had a circulation of 84,000. In 1854 the title was changed to Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Arts, and changed again to Chambers's Journal at the end of 1897.
The journal was produced in Edinburgh until late into the 1850s, by which time the author James Payn
had taken over as editor, and production was moved to London. Serialised fiction from major authors, including Payn himself, became one of the journal's major attractions following his arrival. The journal continued to be published until 1956.
