Description

This periodical was founded by Mary Anne Dyson and her sister-in-law and published by James Burns, but edited from soon after the start by Anne Mozley (1809–1891), whose publisher brothers took over its publication in 1850; it ran 1842-1875. It was known in CMY’s circle as ‘the Pink Mag’; it was a tiny duodecimo production with a pink paper cover.
