THE NINETEENTH CENTURY - A MONTHLY REVIEW July - December 1886 Vol: XX Edited By James Knowles The nineteenth century was a British monthly literary magazine founded in 1877 by James Knowles. It is regarded by historians as 'one of the most important and distinguished monthlies of serious thought in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The magazine was designed as an 'utterly impartial' forum for debate and discussion among leading intellectuals.

The first issue, for example, contained pieces by former Society members Lord Tennyson, William Gladstone and Cardinal Manning. (3) It quickly became one of the most successful literary magazines in Britain, selling over 20,000 copies a month by early 1878. This Volume has 68 Contributions.
