Titles & lists of contents, illustrations & contributors to front. The Quiver (1861–1956) was a weekly magazine published by Cassell's and was "designed for the defence and promotion of biblical truth and the advance of religion in the homes of the people.". Under the publisher’s influence it was firmly focused on the teaching of morality and the promotion of faith. This aim was announced in the subtitle, which proclaimed its intention to work in ‘defence of biblical truth and the advancement of religion in the homes of the people’. It also set out, as defined in its first prospectus, to attempt to change its readers’ hearts and minds, and bring about their ‘intellectual, moral and spiritual improvement’. The Quiver also published literature in the form of sentimental poems along with some middle-brow fiction. To rear is a 64 page extra part for Christmas 1880.
