The Rapid Review

Total Issues: 34+4+6=44

Although the name was first changed to The Rapid in Dec-1906, the magazine was relaunched in Apr-1907 as a short-lived companion to Pearson's and The Novel, which ran some fiction but was chiefly a vehicle for comment on matters of social and human interest.
