The Museum.

yD IJTTELL, So Chesnut-st., Philadelphia,
mo has lust commenced new series OF the
Museum Of Foreign Literature and Science.
This work has now been published more than
three years. Its plan embraced every thing val
liable in the Journals Of Europe-but while 1t
yet remained to be proved that this plan would
be acceptable to the public--it was not thought
expedient to incur the great expense necessary
to execute it fuly-or to encounter the dlsad
vantage of copying from Journals to which our
readers might perhaps be subscribers on these
| accounts we have, with one or two exccptons,
avoided the Edinburgh and Quarterly reviews.
| All doubts of the success OF work on the plan
Of The Museum have been entirely removed by
the experimental and the best proof ofgrat'ude for
the public favour will be found in increased CT
| forts to deserve it.
| The new series contains double the quanuty OF
matter that was in the irst-and when It Is con-
sdered that MQf was already tho cheapest peri
odical work in the country, it will be evident that
we offer very considerable inducements TO sub
scribers. there will be twelve numbers a year,
each containing nearly as much as one OF the Re
views. This increase of space enables us to re-
print erery thing tcorth reprinftaS, IN the Edir-
burgh and Quarterly Reviews, IN addition to the
following works, from which we have regularly
drawn our supplies heretofore: Blackwood's Mag
azine, London Magazine, Edinburgh Magazine,
Westminster Review, Retrospective Revicw,lu-
erary Gazette, London Journal OF Science Liter
ature and the Arts, 3rewstcr's Edinburgh Philo-
sophical journal, European Magazine, New
Monthly Magazine, Monthly Magazine, British
/ Critic, British Review, Monthly Review, Acker-
mans Repository, La Belle Assemble, Electric
| Review, Christian Observer, Ladies' Magazine,
| Pocket Magazine and all new Journals OF merit,
! for which we have standing orders abroad.
! The Editor of Journal consisting entirely Of
selections from Foreign Journals may perhaps be
allowed, without the imputation of vanity, to
speak Of the guilty, as well as the quantity, of
| the matter contained i'll his work. 1t is very evi-
dent that an abundance is offered to his choice.
amp as the Journals Of Great Britain are support.
ed by writers of great talent and high rcpa;A-
ton, to whom large salaries are paid, much must
! be ofa very superior order 1t would seem then
TO be easy to compile, from all these Journals,
one which shall be superior to any one of them.
