Unstamped and Radical Journals
This type of periodical, often issued in octavo, has usually been associated
with a single personality, and by far the greater bulk are of pronounced radical
tendency; for this reason Chartist, Socialist and trade union weekly papers
have also been included in this section. Some unstamped Sunday papers of a
similar kind but with more space given to news have already been noted
above.
