"Household Words was an English weekly magazine edited by Charles Dickens in the 1850s. It took its name from the line in Shakespeare's Henry V: 'Familiar in his mouth as household words.'...Household Words was published every Saturday from March 1850 to May 1859. Each number cost a mere tuppence, thereby ensuring a wide readership...The journal contained a mixture of fiction and nonfiction. A large amount of the non-fiction dealt with the social issues of the time." - wikipedia.
