The Saturday Magazine was a British magazine published from 7 July 1832 to 28 December 1844 by the Committee of General Literature and Education, who were in turn sponsored by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
A typical edition of the Saturday Magazine began with an account of some exotic place.
At this time the expansion of the British empire was speeding up and people at home in England were very interested in finding out what was happening around the world.
