Academy

Academy,
a periodical founded in 1869 as ‘a monthly record of literature, learning, science, and art’ by a young Oxford don, Charles Edward Cutts Birch Appleton ( 1841 – 79 ), who edited it until his death, converting it in 1871 into a fortnightly and in 1874 into a weekly review. It included M. Arnold , T. H. Huxley , M. Pattison , and the classical scholar John Conington ( 1825 – 69 ) among its early contributors. In 1896 it came under the control of Pearl Craigie (‘ J. O. Hobbes ’); she employed as editor C. Lewis Hind , who gave it a more popular colouring. After various vicissitudes and changes of title the Academy disappeared in the 1920s.
