The weekly London-based literary magazine, The Athenæum, supplied Victorian Britain with news of the latest developments in the arts, science, and politics. Book reviews represented a regular department of the periodical. While these reviews were usually anonymous, The Athenæum's editors identified the reviewers in their private marked copies of the journal, now held by City University, London. These marked copies reveal that Augustus De Morgan produced around 1000 reviews for the journal from 1840 to 1869. As a reviewer, De Morgan covered books on a wide variety of topics both within and outside mathematics. A consideration of a selection of the mathematical works De Morgan chose to review gives an insight into how he believed issues surrounding mathematics and its study should be presented to the wide and non-specialist audience of The Athenæum, and thus to the lay reader of mid-Victorian Britain.
