Subtitled "a Magazine for Town & Country Readers", the contents at first glance are uninspiring, but the magazine contained a good proportion of fiction (including stories by S. Baring-Gould and Arnold Golsworthy).

A society magazine aimed primarily at the landed gentry (in its early years). It published a regular story or two per issue, usually nature-related, including several stories by Algernon Blackwood (e.g. "The Sea Fit" 25-Jun-1910), and "Davy Jones's Gift" by John Masefield (11-Nov-1905).

Mostly non-fiction articles about country music stars and the country music industry, but did feature some reprint fiction by Louis L'Amour.

Really a continuation of La Belle Assemblee, started in 1806 but which underwent several transformations until revamped under this unwieldy title when it merged with The Lady's Magazine. It featured an incredible miscellany of material with a growing emphasis on fiction, often running long, increasingly bizarre stories. Few authors credited, and only story that has been reprinted since is "Hugues the Wer-Wolf" (Sep-1838) by Sutherland Menzies.

Focussing on non-fictional accounts of "Famous Trials of Today and Yesterday" the magazine contained very little fiction (and none at all in the last two issues).

Although Witchcraft & Sorcery is technically a continuation of Coven 13 (Crawford bought the subscription list) the later incarnation was a totally different magazine in every way other than also concentrating on weird fiction. Only the first two issues of the second series had newsstand distribution, after which it appeared sporadically. This was the only one of Crawford's magazines to fold without an uncompleted serial.
