Victorian Review (Australia)
The ''Victorian Review'' originally subtitled ''A journal of the Volunteer Force'' was a weekly magazine produced in Melbourne, Australia, and ran for a few months from December 1860, aimed directly at civil servants and the colonies' defence personnel, but much of its reporting was on arts and artists. The title was revived in 1879 for a monthly magazine. A companion weekly, ''The Federal Australian'' ran from 1881; both failed in 1886, largely due to mismanagement. History The ''Victorian Review'' began as a weekly magazine for the voluntary militia and public servants, largely modelled on the Army and Navy Gazette. Although a Melbourne-based publication, it included much of direct interest to the South Australian militia. It shared offices with ''Melbourne Punch'', and editor of both papers was James Smith (1820–1910). Rather than being operated by steam, the press was powered by water pressure from the Yan Yean reservoir. The first issue appeared in late December 1860, and ...

Army And Navy Gazette
An army (from Old French ''armee'', itself derived from the Latin verb ''armāre'', meaning "to arm", and related to the Latin noun ''arma'', meaning "arms" or "weapons"), ground force or land force is a fighting force that fights primarily on land. In the broadest sense, it is the land-based military branch, service branch or armed service of a nation or country. It may also include aviation assets by possessing an army aviation component. Within a national military force, the word army may also mean a field army. In some countries, such as France and China, the term "army", especially in its plural form "armies", has the broader meaning of armed forces as a whole, while retaining the colloquial sense of land forces. To differentiate the colloquial army from the formal concept of military force, the term is qualified, for example in France the land force is called ''Armée de terre'', meaning Land Army, and the air and space force is called ''Armée de l'Air et de l’Espace' ...
