History
The Garden magazine has gone under this title since 1975; it was chosen to commemorate the famous magazine first published by William Robinson in 1871. Before 1975 it had been (since 1866) The Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society (a phrase that remained as the magazine's cover subtitle until 2007).
Prior to 1866, the Horticultural Society of London (which became Royal on the granting of a Royal Charter in 1861 from Prince Albert, its patron since 1858) had published The Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London (7 volumes, 1805–1830) and The Proceedings of the Horticultural Society of London (1838–1868), as well as The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London (9 volumes, 1846–1855). Extracts from the Proceedings were published as supplements to the Journal from 1889 onwards.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
