Description: The Sporting Magazine: Monthly Calendar - 1835 - Antiquarian Sport History Book The Sporting Magazine or Monthly Calendar of the Transactions of The Turf - The Chase and Every Other Diversion Interesting to the Man of Pleasure, Enterprise and SpiritVolume 11 New SeriesPublished by M.A. Pittman: London 1835 1st Edition "The Sporting Magazine (1792–1870) was the first English sporting periodical to devote itself to every type of sport. Its subtitle was "Monthly Calendar of the Transactions of the Turf, the Chase and Every Other Diversion Interesting to the Man of Pleasure, Enterprize, and Spirit". By the early 1820s, the magazine was the fourth best-selling monthly periodical in London. However, it was still badly organized, information on varying topics simply being heaped together. Occasionally the magazine would copy articles from newspapers, but the coverage it offered was excellent, embodied by the detailed calendar of forthcoming events that appeared every month. Improvements in communications generated rapid information dissemination and this inevitably favoured the daily and weekly press rather than the monthly, especially those that began devoting serious coverage to sport."
