“Can a magazine have a soul? In turning over the pages of the hundred volumes of the ‘Cornhill,’ I have been on the search, and I believe I have found it.... The range of subjects is very wide, the methods of treatment are infinitely various. Politics and public affairs have for the most part been avoided, though the fringe of them is often touched.... The ‘note’ of the ‘Cornhill’ is the literary note, in the widest sense of the term; its soul is the spirit of that human culture, as Matthew Arnold describes it in the pages, reprinted from the ‘Cornhill,’ of ‘Culture and Anarchy.’”—SIR E. T. COOK.
OPINIONS OF LIBRARIANS.
“I find upon inquiry at our five Libraries that the ‘Cornhill’ is well read, and certainly it appeals to a section of readers who can appreciate better literary fare than is offered in most of the modern monthlies. May I take this opportunity of expressing my own admiration for the high literary tone which you preserve in the ‘Cornhill.’”
“My Committee are of opinion that there is room for one of its kind. (Personally, I think there is only one of the ‘Cornhill’ kind, and that is the ‘Cornhill’ itself.) I may say at once that the ‘Cornhill’ exactly meets the wants of a select body of readers.”
“It is one of the few magazines of which a complete set is kept in stock for the benefit of borrowers.”
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“Cornhill is in a class by itself and is full of the most entertaining reading with real literary flavour.”—Liverpool Courier.
“The counsel of perfection is to purchase the ‘Cornhill,’ that you may not only enjoy its contents but keep them to show a friend.”—Guardian.
