The London Journal

The London Journal; and Weekly Record of Literature, Science and Art (published from 1845 to 1928) was a British penny fiction weekly, one of the best-selling magazines of the nineteenth century.

Lemon's attempt to rebrand the magazine, serializing novels by Walter Scott, was a commercial failure.

[1] George Stiff bought back the paper in 1859 (combining it with a title, The Guide, which he had started in the interim) and installed Percy B. St. John and then Pierce Egan as editor.

Herbert Allingham became editor in 1889, publishing his own story "A Devil of a Woman" in 1893.

[2] Contributors to the magazine included leading authors of the day, such as Mary Elizabeth Braddon (Lady Audley's Secret and The Outcast), E. D. E. N. Southworth (The Gypsy’s Prophecy), and Pierce Egan (The Poor Girl).
