'The January number of this Magazine is published
and fully jus;ilies the opinion expressed upon the
appearance Of the preceding number.-ln our judg-
mens this is the best Miscellaneous Magazine that
have ever met with. The plan which the publishers
have adopted very judicious and will alw avs give
them great advantage other publications of this
desciPlon-lhey import large numt Or OF periodical
works, nearly thirty in the whole-and from these select
such articles as in their opinion i'll be entertaining
and Instructive and discard every thing frivolous
or hurtful In this way they give their readers the
liable contents o! great number of Magazines and
Reviews, at as low rate a single publication would
be imported. Besides the quantity winch they publish
is much greater than that Of ordinary monthly pubica-
tons. They print 9G pages, with dohbe column, and
on small but neat type, making each number
as much as some quarterly periodical works with
y double the number of pages, and much larger type

who have read this work, and they all pronounce il the
