Robert A. Carter Quote
The golden age for magazines came in the quarter-century from 1825 to 1850, when the business as we know it today really began. In 1825 there were fewer than a hundred magazines in America; by 1850 there were more than six hundred, the survivors of between four and five thousand periodicals issued in that quarter-century. Three magazines founded during this period are still surviving: Scientific American, begun in 1845, and Harper's Magazine, founded in 1850 as Harper's New Monthly Magazine. Its rival was and remains the Atlantic Monthly, established in 1857.
