Arthur Hall was a nineteenth-century publisher and writer based in Paternoster Row, London.
In 1848 he took over Sharpe's London Magazine from T. B. Sharpe, who had founded it in 1845 as a weekly publication. Hall made it a monthly, and moved it upmarket; the editor at the time was Frank Smedley.John Sutherland, The Stanford Companion to Victorian Fiction, p. 569; Google Books. It appeared as Journal rather than Magazine from 1849 to 1852.Laurel Brake, Marysa Demoor, Dictionary of Nineteenth-century Journalism in Great Britain and Ireland (2009), p. 569; Google Books. At this time Hall went into business with George Virtue, forming Arthur Hall, Virtue & Co.University of Guelph page.
