On Saturday, January 3, 1552, will be published, price 21., the First
Number of a New Series of THE ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR,
under the title of
THE ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR and
MAGAZINE of ART.
This work, though published at so small a price, will greatly sur-
pass everything that has yet appeared, even at double or treble the
sum. The Engravings will form a Gallery of Fine Art. The first
artists in the world will be employed upon them, and the printing and
all the details will be executed with the greatest care, a new Printing
Establishment being fitted up expressly for the purpose of bringing
out this New Series of the Illustrated Exhibitor. The First Nunner
will be ready with the Magazines for January, 1852. .111cnthly Parts

ARCHITECTURE. information.
This department will comprise the finest specimens of the Archi-
tecture of Europe, including the Cathedrals and other Ecclesiastical
Buildings of England and the Continent, Norman Castles, Noble Re-
sidences, Public Institutions, and other buildings possessing claims to
architectural taste and beauty.
V. SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES, INVENTIONS, and
IMPROVEMENTS.
This department will embrace a vast range of subjects ; and as the
articles will be written in the clearest and most practical style, and
illustrated and explained by a number of suitable diagrams and en-
gravings, it will be deeply interesting to all who desire information
on such subjects, but especially to youthful artisans and mechanics.
XL The WORK-410PS, MANUFACTORIES, and LABORATO-
RIES of ENGLAND and the WORLD.
In this department one grand object of the recent Exhibition of the
Industry of All Nations will be fully carried out, namely, the deve-
lopment of the faculty of invention. It will include minute descrip-
tions of the processes by which the various raw materials with winch
the earth abounds are made to supply the necessities, and to
minister to the comforts and elegancies of life. The Pictorial Illus-
trations will be numerous, and the descriptions will be written in an
educational style, such as to convey instruction and entertainment
to families and general readers.
VII. LOCAL and DOMESTIC SCENES.
These will include some of those events which occur in cities, in
towns, and in familiar life, which are well deserving of notice, and
which admit of beautiful pictorial illustration. Such are national
commemorations, the internal arrangements of Government esta-
blishments, scenes in domestic life, &c., &c.
VIII. REMINISCENCES of the GREtiAT
ons EXHlfßlTlONinterest-
.
Consisting of Pictorial and Literary Illustra o those
ing objects in Art and Science for which space could not be found in
Volume the First. Although the Illustrated Exhibitor contains a
larger and more choice collection of the valuable contributions to the
World's Fair than has been ever before attempted, yet the
and unique subjects still to be introduced will be found worthy the
reader's best attention.
IX. The LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
This curious and useful portion of the work will be under the su-
perintendence of one of the principal femmes guilles of the will
e will be made peeuliarly acceptable to female readers, as it will
be accompanied by a series of illustrations of the most novel and ele-
gant designs in embroidery, and every kind of ornamental needle-
work, the latest fashions in dress, &c., &c.
It must be obvious to the most casual observer, that the specimens
of art and manufacture recently collected in the Great Exhibition of
the Industry of All Nations have wonderfully improved the taste of
all classes of the community, and have inspired them with a love of
the beautiful, and a desire to excel, whist no lecturer, or books, how-
ever well written, cou!d possibly have done. The object of the Illus-
trated Exhibitor and Magazine of Art will be to combine lucid writ-
ing and pictorial illustration, addressing itself at once to the under-
stanling and the eye. And should this New Series, published as it
will be at so low a price, answer the description given in this Pros-
pectus, it will evidently be the greatest literary undertaking of the
present day. The bringing out of each weekly number will in a
large outlay, but John Cassel relies with confidence on the support
of all classes of the community ; he believes that this his publication
will be truly National in its character, and will secure not fewer
than 200,000 Subscribers.
