Magazines Disestablished In 1883
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Henry Walker
John Henry Walker (1831–1899), a pioneer Canadian engraver and illustrator, was from County Antrim in Northern Ireland and as a young boy emigrated in 1842 to Canada with his family, settling in Toronto, Upper Canada. In 1845 he was apprenticed for three years to the engraver Cyrus A. Swett, where he was trained in copper and wood engraving. Walker provided the engravings for catalogues, government reports, advertisements and magazines such as ''The Canadian Illustrated News'', ''L'Opinion Publique'' and ''Le Monde Illustré'', and produced the front-cover illustration for his launching of ''Punch in Canada'' in 1849.

Ferdinand Gagnon
Ferdinand Gagnon (8 June 1849 – 15 April 1886) was a Canadian born American journalist. Gagnon was born and educated in Saint-Hyacinthe, Canada East. At age 19, he joined a substantial group of French Canadians who were leaving the Province of Quebec for the New England states to escape British rule. He began his American residency at Manchester, New Hampshire. Gagnon envisaged a national union of French Canadians, whether in Canada or the United States. He saw the union as something that would happen sooner or later and worked toward that goal. He put forth a concerted effort for a period of time toward repatriation of French-Americans to Quebec. The effort was largely unsuccessful. His vocation was publishing and journalism, and he was involved in a number of publications, starting with ''La Voix du peuple''. That publication ceased and was replaced by ''L’Idée nouvelle''. In 1869 Gagnon married and settled in Worcester, Massachusetts Worcester ( , ) is a cit ...
