The Metropolitan: A monthly journal of literature, science, and the fine arts was a London monthly journal inaugurated in May 1831, originally edited by Thomas Campbell. [1] It was then published by James Cochrane. [2]
The Metropolitan Magazine was issued in three annual volumes of four monthly issues through May 1850, number 229, the first issue of volume 58. [1] [2] After one year, it was published by Saunders and Otley of Conduit Street for 15 years from May 1832 to April 1847 (volumes 4–48). [2]
Editors
Campbell and Cyrus Redding were the first editors of the Metropolitan. Frederick Marryat became editor in 1832.[ contradictory] From vol. 6 (1833) onwards the magazine went under the name The Metropolitan Magazine. Marryat appointed the novelist Edward Howard (1793–1841) as a sub-editor in 1833: Howard serialized his semi-autobiographical Life of a Sub-Editor in the Metropolitan in 1834. [3] Though Marryat resigned the editorship in 1835, he kept a connection with the Metropolitan for another year. [4]
