Charles Thomas Tyler, 3 Amen Corner, London, published The Ladies, a fact provided (oddly) on the sheet music in the first issue. The journal lacks the masthead customary in today's publications. Later issues add a four-line blurb naming publisher and printer. My research has turned up nothing about Tyler or the printer. Letters to the editor address themselves to "Sir," but the newspaper adopts a female voice generally. Those columns allegedly written by men announce their maleness loudly. (See, for example, the gossip column, Twitterings.)

The Ladies came out weekly in two sections, the second called a supplement, and cost sixpence, a bit expensive for the middle-class market (See Ballaster 92).
