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:
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
