The Belfast Monthly Magazine is a publication from the nineteenth century, consisting of 77 issues. The journal focuses on subjects directly linked to Ireland and 'Irishmen' including the origins, history, antiquities, politics, language, and topography of Ireland. The journal also explores the links between Ireland and the world which would be of interest to, as it states, 'universal philosophers'. Regular literary contributions feature in the journal and have been edited by William Drennan (a significant radical figure of the time).
