Edward
Cave and the First Magazine in the World!
There
are women's magazines, sports magazines, motoring
magazines and many other kinds of magazines, too. But, why are
magazines called magazines?
.
In
1730, Edward Cave, a French Canadian printer decided to
produce a general interest magazine for
men. And, he wanted to call it “A Store of General
Information”. But, this didn't sound good. So, instead,
he chose the French word “Magazine”.
And, the word magazine has the same meaning as the
word store and sounds much better.
