John Stuart Mill of the first number said: "The literary and artistic department had rested chiefly on Mr. Bingham, a barrister (subsequently a police magistrate), who had been for some years a frequenter of Bentham, was a friend of both the Austins, and had adopted with great ardour Bentham"s philosophical opinions.
Partly from accident there were in the first number as many as five articles by Bingham, and we were extremely pleased with them".
