520 _aThe Penny Magazine was an illustrated British magazine aimed at the working class, published every Saturday from 31 March 1832 to 31 October 1845. Charles Knight created it for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in response to Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, which started two months earlier. Sold for only a penny and illustrated with wood-engravings, it was an expensive enterprise that could survive only with a large circulation. Though initially successful, with a circulation of 200,000 in the first year, it proved too dry and too Whiggish to appeal to its intended working-class audience. The Edinbugh Journal, by contrast, which included a weekly short story, grew more slowly, but lasted longer. (This summary is from Wikipedia.)
