To describe "The Sunday Magazine" as a religious periodical is to confine it unnecessarily. Edited by Reverend Benjamin Waugh (1839 -1908), founder of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, "The Sunday Magazine" is a publication that broaches everything from art and literature to travel and poetry. Some of the Reverend's most famous hymns first appeared within these pages also. At unexpected points, one turns the page to find an illustration truly beautiful. 'Fetters are the emblem of captivity, the ensigns of restraint. Our dogs we tie, our criminals we handcuff, and formerly we chained our lunatics and our books.' (C.E. Gildersome-Dickinson, "Chained Books", p. 529). Quarto, bound in gilt-stmaped decorated green boards, all edges gilt, 856 pages, a near fine copy.
