Lady's Magazine; or Entertaining Companion for the Fair Sex was one of the most enduring and influential periodicals of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. For six pence a copy, readers were provided with a monthly miscellany promising to both entertain and educate. Short stories, serialized fiction and poetry were combined with essays extolling the female virtues of propriety and modesty, advice for wives and mothers, information on fashion, recipes, medicinal 'receipts' offering cures for maladies from cramp to 'hectic fevers', accounts of trials and biographies of famous historical and contemporary figures, enigmas, rebuses and domestic and foreign news reports.\nSee: http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~english/\npublications/ladysmag1.htm
