A :RNOLD'S MAGAZINE OF THE FINE ,ARTS,
±1... and JOURNAL OF LITERATURE AND SCIENCE.; Embel-
lished with a Portrait of an eminent Artist, and a subject of
Sculpture. ADDRESS.

'Tie Proprietors of ARNOLD'S LIRMARY OF TiiE FINE ARTS
respectfully inform their Friends and the Public, that, in Max
next, they will commence a New Series of their Journal, when
they will introduce subjects of General Literature and Science,
combined with the matter usually discussed in the publication.
• In adopting this course, they will be acting in accordance
with the wishes of many intelligent correspondents. They,
however, feel it to be their duty to ma'ntain the leading cha-
racter of their work, as well from a esire to manifest their
gratitude to those persons who have iitherto honoured them
with their patronage, as from a con ction that the success of
every publication must, in a gre• neasure, depend upon its
consistency. The Fine Arts wil therefore continue to form
the leading feature.
In a country Ir6senting so glorious a retrospect of departed
greatness, the Proprietors conceive that the Sculptural Monu-
ments in our most celebrated cathedrals must afford pleasing
subjects for contemplation. It is therefore intended, in the
New Series, to commence with the Monuments in St. Paul's
Cathedral; and in the first, and each future Number, to give iv,
Biographical Sketch of, some distinguished Sculptor, in coll.:,
nection with his works. It is needless to expatiate on the
beauty and utility of sculpture; it claims the merit of the
earliest antiquity of all the arts, according to the best received
opinions. But it has higher claims on public consideration ;
is not only emulative in its character, as respects the artist, but
has a tendency to superinduce, in all men desirous of handing
down their names to posterity, a performance of deeds worthy
of commemoration. Of this fact, all people must be sensible,
who have visited St. Paul's Cathedral, and viewed the forms of
distinguished persons there enshrined. Who can look on the
monument of Howard without feeling a generous glow of ad-
miration for the philanthropy of that great man ; or view the
monuments of Nelson, and Collingwood, Abercrombie, Sir
John Moore, and other heroes who have sacrificed their lives
in the service of their country, without sentiments of grati-
tude ? Such instances also promote a national taste.
The Proprietors also intend to give an occasional represen-
tation of the paintings in some of the public and private
galleries of England, and to present Portraits of distinguished
Painters, together with biographical sketches.
But as this publication has Changed editorship, and has
received a large accession of literary and scientific communi-
cations, it is their intention to present a few articles on Polite
Literature, and of the various scientific improvements going
forward. This will necessarily cause an alteration in the title
of the periodical, which will from May next be called Arnoles
Magazine of time Fine Arts, and Journal of Literature and
Science.

The Proprietors, in conclusion, take this opportunity of ex-
pressing to their friends and the public their gratitude ; assur-
ing them that every effort shall be used to render their Journal
amusing and instructive, and that the change of editorship
shall hot derogate from its merits.
