The Cheap Magazine, subtitled '"The Poor Man's Fireside Companion", was a fourpenny Edinburgh monthly published from 1813 to 1815 by George Miller, an East Lothian printer. Its cheap price required a large circulation, and the attempt to establish a large readership without taking any definite religious position ended in financial failure. [1]
