TRSTIMONY OF SIR EDWIN LANDSEER

" If any praise from me can add to the popularity of this
charming work, I have great pleasure in repeating my sincere
admiration for its extreme originality of conception and ad-
mirable accuracy of knowledge of the creatures delineated.
Having studied animals during my whole life, perhaps my
testimony as to the truth of the artist's treatment of the
Scriptural Illustrations may have some influence."

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
The Year 1855 bids fair to be one of the most important
and eventful of modern history. On the 6th of January,
1835, wilt be issued the first number of a New Volume of the
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, and not merely a New Vo-
lume, but of a New Year—each Volume being perfect and
complete in itself—containing, for the time, a faithful record,
pictorial and descriptive, of all Events of Interest in every
part of the World. To that limited portion of the Public who
do not subscribe to this Journal, it may be stated, that no
period could be selected more opportune for commencing—
the whole expense being but Twenty-six Shillings per Annum,
exclusive of double numbers, which are issued on rare occa-
sions, when it would be impossible to crowd the important
events and engravings into a single number; for this small
sum the Subscriber will receive twenty-four large Pages—
seventy-two Columns—of the most interesting information,
carefully selected from the News of the Week, interspersed
with a variety of charm' nu; Ari isles on thechief topics of the day.
The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS has, by its impartial
and consistent advocacy of the welfare of the Public, secured
for itself a political influence scarcely second to any News•
paper in the Empire; and reference can, with some pride, be
made to the support afforded to all beneficial measures, pro-
posed and adopfed by the English Parliament.
Foreign Politics will ever command the attention (which
ought to be devoted to so important a feature of a News-
paper. On the question of the Russian War, during the year
1854, ONE THOUSAND ENGRAVINGS appeared in the
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. Extensive arrangements,
calculated to improve this popular Journal, and engagements,
such as will greatly enrich its Literary, Scientific, and other
departments, have been made, and will thus combine on this
Paper the greatest talent of the day.
The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS has been established
thirteen years, during which period it has received a greater
degree of encouragement and approbation than any Journal
ever published. This is proved by the Returns of Stamps
issued from time to time by order of Parliament. The Stamps
applied for the first biX months of 1854 was upwards of
2,734,ooo—showing a WEEKLY CIRCULATION of UP-
WARDS of ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY THOUSAND
COPIES !

Terms (payment in advance)—Half-year, l3a. 6d. ; Year, 21s.
Any of the Volumes of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS,
from the commencement to the present time, may now be
had, in paper or cloth. Covers for Bindinz the Volumes,
2a. fol. each.

All Numbers may be sent free by Post to any part of the
Kingdom and the Colonies.
Give an order for Six Months, to insure all the gratuitous
Prints and Supplements. Supplied by all Booksellers and
Newsmen.

The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS is published in London
every Saturday, Stamped, to go free by Post, Sixpence per
Copy. OFFICE, 199, STRAND, LONDON.

Monitor and Guide, by which the shoals of empiricism may
be avoided, and a speedy return to health secured,
