The Musical World (formerly The Musical World; a Weekly Record of Musical Science, Literature, and Intelligence) was an English music journal founded and published weekly by Alfred Novello during the Victorian era. [1] [2] The journal was predominantly music related but also included general interest items. [3] It was Novello's first published journal and the first weekly music journal in England. [4] It ran from 18 March 1836 to 24 January 1891, with a total of 71 volumes published over its lifetime. [5] The journal was available for 4 d (20 s for annual subscription) and usually had 16 pages. [6] It predates comparable publications like Novello's later published The Musical Times . James William Davison became owner and editor of the journal in 1844 until his death the year after. [7] In 1888, the journal was purchased by Edgar Frederick Jacques, who became editor. [3]
