It was founded by the <a href="/wiki/Publisher" class="mw-redirect" title="Publisher">publisher</a> <a href="/wiki/William_Blackwood" title="William Blackwood">William Blackwood</a> and was originally called the <i>Edinburgh Monthly Magazine</i>. The first number appeared in April 1817 under the editorship of <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Pringle" title="Thomas Pringle">Thomas Pringle</a> and James Cleghorn. The journal was unsuccessful and Blackwood fired Pringle and Cleghorn and relaunched the journal as <i><b>Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine</b></i> under his own editorship. The journal eventually adopted the shorter name and from the relaunch often referred to itself as <i><b>Maga</b></i>. The title page bore the image of <a href="/wiki/George_Buchanan_(humanist)" class="mw-redirect" title="George Buchanan (humanist)">George Buchanan</a>, a 16th-century Scottish historian, religious and political thinker. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2></div> <p><i>Blackwood's</i> was conceived as a rival to the <a href="/wiki/British_Whig_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="British Whig Party">Whig</a>-supporting <i><a href="/wiki/Edinburgh_Review" title="Edinburgh Review">Edinburgh Review</a>.</i> Compared to the rather staid tone of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Quarterly_Review" class="mw-redirect" title="The Quarterly Review">The Quarterly Review</a></i>, the other main <a href="/wiki/Tory" title="Tory">Tory</a> work, <i>Maga</i> was ferocious and combative. This is due primarily to the work of its principal writer <a href="/wiki/John_Wilson_(Scottish_writer)" title="John Wilson (Scottish writer)">John Wilson</a>, who wrote under the <a href="/wiki/Pseudonym" title="Pseudonym">pseudonym</a> of Christopher North. Never trusted with the editorship, he nevertheless wrote much of the magazine along with the other major contributors <a href="/wiki/John_Gibson_Lockhart" title="John Gibson Lockhart">John Gibson Lockhart</a> and <a href="/wiki/William_Maginn" title="William Maginn">William Maginn</a>.
