Item description from seller

620p. A green textured cloth hardcover ex-library book. Hinges cracked; cloth covering spine starting to detatch. Stamp on title page; some foxing, otherwise, text clean and binding tight. This volume includes the poem "Tyrell's Confession," a biographical article on Lord Byron, and an article titled "What Married Men Would Do." Temple Bar was a literary periodical of the mid and late 19th and very early 20th centuries (1860–1906). The complete title was Temple Bar – A London Magazine for Town and Country Readers.

It sold for about one shilling, and was one of the leading literary magazines of the era. 553 issues were published – up to 1906, about one a month. It published work by writers such as Amy Levy, Jane Austen, Wilkie Collins, Charles Reade, Robert Louis Stevenson, Anthony Trollope, Arthur Conan Doyle, E. F. Benson and Jessie Fothergill. Initially the magazine achieved a circulation of some 30,000 which eventually settled at around the 13,000 mark in the late 1860s. In 1868 Bentley's Magazine was merged into it. By 1896 it had dropped to about 8,000.…
