Argosy

Intended as a serious monthly magazine "of tales, travels, essays and poems" like The Cornhill , but its early serialization of the sensation novel "Griffith Gaunt" by Charles Reade (about bigamy) made it a racier magazine than planned. Under Mrs Wood it continued this trend. It published her "Johnny Ludlow" stories. Had supplement called the "Summer Number" from 1884 to 1892, which ceased to be a separate publication in 1893, and became the June number of The Argosy . Argosy carried the "combined with All-American Fiction Magazine" on its front cover in decreasing sizes of type from September 24, 1938 through December 17, 1938--a total of 11 issues. The final issue of the main sequence of the magazine is "November - December 1978". It is Vol. 338, No. 3, a misnumbering since the preceding two issues (September and October) bore the volume number of 388. This was followed by at least four issues in 1979 from a different publisher for which Argosy was subtitled "for a Greater America" and was focussed on articles attacking the government. The 1990 incarnation was a semi-pro version, with a good helping of SF. The origin of the numbering is not known, but does not derive from the earlier incarnations.
