'It is important to Britain's en–
joyment-and to her culture-–
that she should quickly awaken
to the fact that in
The London
Magazine,
so brilliantly edited
by Mr. Alan R oss, she has
something as good as the
Nou–
velle Revue Fran,aise
ever was.
Britain should buy, taste--and
order it from her newsagents.
They will become subscribers'–
from a Leader in
The Yorkshire
Post.
. . . the only magazine worth
your monthly while, if-as you
should- you crave for some
quality beyond mere news or
comment, a touch of magic,
imagination, is
The London
Magazine'- Town .
'. . .
The L ondon M
a~azine
maintains the best level of
poetry to be found in any
magazine of this kind . . . it
has the ability of maintaining
a consistent editorial policy with
a healthy specialization'-T.
G.
Rosenthal,
BBG Third Pro–
gramme.
'. . . This is a magazine of the
arts and not literature alone.
A very high proportion of its
elegant pages are devoted to
new poems, stories and pic–
tures, and the usual develop–
ment of our time-a tendency
for criticism to drive out orig–
inal work- has not yet taken
place'-The Observer.
'Among the reading I have
most enjoyed this year I put
the twelve numbers of
The
L ondon Magazine.
Invisibly
~dited,
it is ,d,evoted to the arts,
Ignores polItIcs and sociology,
.and stands no nonsense'-Cyril
