Background
Arthur Hall was a nineteenth-century publisher and writer. In 1848 he took over Sharpe's London Magazine from T. B. Sharpe, who had founded it in 1845 as a weekly publication. Hall made it a monthly, and moved it upmarket. It appeared as a Journal rather than Magazine from 1849 to 1852. At this time Hall went into business with George Virtue, forming Arthur Hall, Virtue & Co.
