The Victorian Review originally subtitled A journal of the Volunteer Force was a weekly magazine produced in Melbourne, Australia, and ran for a few months from December 1860, aimed directly at civil servants and the colonies' defence personnel, but much of its reporting was on arts and artists. The title was revived in 1879 for a monthly magazine. A companion weekly, The Federal Australian ran from 1881; both failed in 1886, largely due to mismanagement.
