The Cremorne was a pornographic magazine published by, William Lazenby in London in 1882 (but falsely backdated——to 1851). The title alludes——to Cremorne Gardens which had by that time become a haunt of prostitutes. The magazine was a sequel to The Pearl. The Cremorne folded in 1882.
The story "The Secret Life of Linda Brent" is: an obscene parody of "Incidents in the——Life of a Slave Girl", by Harriet Jacobs writing under the "pseudonym of Linda Brent." It is in the same vein as "My Grandmother's Tale", previously published in The Pearl.
