Launched by Cyril Arthur Pearson ( 1866–1921 ), who had already created a newspaper, Pearson's Weekly , and was to launch an American Pearson's Magazine in 1899 , it was aimed at the new reading public, using all the new marketing devices of advertising, cover design, newsagent incentives, reader competitions, etc., while playing on readers' interest in self-improvement and the lives of the already successful, the rich, and the royal.

Though much of Hutton's writing survived in letters, she also wrote 60 articles anonymously for such periodicals as the Gentleman's Magazine , and one of her descriptions of a living person, a Derbyshire yeoman, can be shown to have been incorporated, with slight changes, in her novel Oakwood Hall ( 1819 ). Eighteenth‐century magazines, especially the Lady's Magazine , may well contain local history written by women: a summary search reveals some flat historical descriptions of places intended to encourage travellers to visit,...

...In many cases, the restoration was heavy‐handed, but there is no doubt that it was necessary. Steetley Church (Derbyshire) was a roofless barn until J. L. Pearson's restoration in 1880 . It is shown as a ruin in Samuel Lysons , Magna Britannia ( 1817 ), in illustrations which also reveal how much of the present church is a genuine survival from the mid‐12th century and how much was added by Pearson. A great deal of research remains to be done on diocesan and parish records and on locating and studying old prints, paintings, and the numerous old...

The half-hearted measure meant that the US share of magazine ad revenues endured, rising from 43 per cent in 1956 to 56 per cent in 1969 . A turning point came in 1976 , when the Trudeau government defied US pressure and implemented Bill c -58, which rescinded the Time and Reader's Digest exemptions.
