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,
1855, will 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 thetime, 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-
Mont, when it would be impossible to crowd the important
events and engrintinma into- sesingie 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 varietyofcharmingArt icleson thechief topics of theday.

and consistent advocacy of the welfare of the Public, secured
for itself a political influence scarcely second to any News.

made to the support afforded to all beneficial measures, pro-
posed and adop.ed 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 m ide, 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 six months of 1854, was upwards of
2,734,000—showing a WEEKLY CIRCULATION of UP-
WARDS of ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY THOUSAND
COPIES ! _ _
