We believe we have formerly, but many months
since, taken occasion to mention work under tho
above title published in Philadelphia by Mr.. E.
Littel. Its character and Objects indicated in
its title. And medium OF conveying to the
American reader the choicest selections from the
leading literary periodical works of England, it has
attained high and just degree of popularity. With
the commencement Of the present year, new, en-
larged, and improved series has been commenced.
We nave never seen work which so completely
succeeds in cmbodying the spirit Of the English
Magazines" as this Rejecting the dross, or, more
technically and properly speaking the " hallam'' OF
those foreign works. the and valuable articles

than can be obtained ia any other way.
The Museum is published every month, at six
