The articles were a mix, including biographies, poetry, essays, and fiction. Each issue usually started with a piece of serialised fiction.[8] The creation of the magazine was partly a response to non-religious popular magazines that the Religious Tract Society saw as delivering a "pernicious" morality to the working classes.[1] The ethos of the magazine was guided by Sabbatarianism: the campaign to keep Sunday as a day of rest.[6] It aimed to treat its diverse subjects "in the light of Christian truth".[4] Despite this, The Leisure Hour carried far fewer statements of Christian doctrine than the Society's other publications.[5] Compared to other popular magazines of the time, The Leisure Hour had a greater emphasis on fiction.[6] Two days before the magazine's launch in 1852, a warehouse fire destroyed the first batch of The Leisure Hour, so replacement copies had to be printed.[3] The magazine was edited by William Haig Miller until 1858,[7] James Macaulay from 1858 to 1895,[8] and William Stevens from 1895 to 1900.[7] Harold Copping was one of its illustrators.[9] Authors were initially only credited by initials rather than by name, giving the writing a collective rather than individual authority, though naming of authors became more common from the 1870s onwards.[1] In its jubilee issue, published in 1902, the magazine identified 111 authors who had contributed.[1] Notable contributors
