As the modern publishing pioneer, Commercial Press has turned out innumerable books and journals. Despite its small proportion in the publishing duration of the Commercial Press, Novel Monthly had played a big role in enlightening the public and leading the trends of thought, etc. Its innovation had been guided by the profits of Commercial Press and its rise and fall directly affected by the latter.
