KNIGHT'S PENNY MAGAZINE.
Weekly Numbers •.• • ..
Monthly Parts (with a Supplement). • Sixpence.
Quarterly Volumes • • • • • • • • Eighteenpence.
THE PENNY MAtIAZINE has now been in the course of publi-
cation for fourteen years ; and during the whole period the duties of
Editor have been discharged by Mr. Knight,' mister the " Superinten-
dence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge." The
time has arrived when that "superintendence "has merged in the in-
dividual responsibility of the Editor.
The circulation of The Penny Magazine is very large ; its reputa-
tion is unimpaired. But fourteen volumes having been completed
in accordance with the original intention of the work, which was to
combine miscellaneous information with expensive pictorial embel-
lishment, circumstances now point to the necessity of some essential
modification of the plan. Left to Ills individual responsibility in the
conduct of the work, the Editor deems it his public duty to take a
new position, to enable him to carry out his views of what should
now be the character of a widely-circulated and eminently cheap
miscellany. Such a periodical work may command as high and as
various literary talent as the most lefty of its contemporaries ; and
the best talents and acquirements may now be most fitly employed
in the service of the people, instead of addressing themselves only
to readers of wealth and leisure. Knight's Penny Magazine is in-
tended to he for the People of 1846 what " The Penny Magazine of
the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge " was for the
People of 1832.
Without any change in the objeets for which the Penny Maga-
zine was established—"to enlarge the range of observation, to add
to the store of facts, to awaken the reason, and to lead the imagina-
tion into agreeable and innocent trains of thought"—a new Penny
Magazine may be able to do much which its predecessor has, from
the nature of its plan, of necessity left undone. Essentially a con-
tinuation of The Penny Magazine under the same Editorship—ex-
pecting the continued support of the constant friends of that miscel-
lany—it seeks a more extensive circulation by aiming at a wider
range and a more varied character, It will, henceforth, be chiefly
a Magazine of Reading. Woodcuts will no longer continue to he
the prominent feature of the work ; but will be frequently used as
necessary illustrations and as specimens of art. As compared with
The Penny Magazine, the work now announced will be printed on
a larger sheet, but a smaller page ; it will consist of sixteen pages
instead of eight ; and will contain a much greater amount of reading.
It will be printed in the best style, in a very clear type ; and the
form being that of a handsome portable book, it will bind in conve-
nient volumes four times a year, so as to constitute an Important
addition to a " Library for all Readers."

Knight's Penny M'agazine will published, as previously indi-
cated, in a Weekly Sheet, a Monthly Part, and a quarterly Volume ;
and in all these forms it may hope to become a Fireside and a
Travelling Companion, as universally sought as " in the most high
and palmy" days of The Penny Magazine of the Soeiety for the Dif-
fusion of Useful Knowledge.
*. F Number I. will be published on Saturday, January 3, 1846 ;
Part I. on the 31st January ; Volume I. on the 31st of March.
