The Lady's Monthly Museum

The Lady's Monthly Museum; Or, Polite Repository of Amusement and Instruction was started in 1798 as one of the more successful of the group.

[1] The magazine was published by Vernor and Hood,[2] and was one of the era's more popular publications.

It featured articles on fashion, biographies and portraits of aristocratic persons of interest, essays, and poems.

Serialised stories also appeared in the Lady's Monthly Museum, making the publication one of the first to publish novels before they became available as books.

[7] Pilkington, who mainly contributed anonymously, wrote poetry, stories, biographies, and social gossip for the magazine, and also did editorial work.
