VWVHE LADIES' MAGAZINE has been,
d. for two years, before the pubick receiving a
measure of encouragement rarely if ever before in
in this country extended to periodical devoted to
| subjects of taste and general literature.
| The publishers of the Ladies' Magazine
have now become propretors of the Yankee and
Boston Literary Gazette J; and henceforth the unit
ed publication will bear the title prefxed to this
prospectus.
Mrs. HALE will continue in the editorial
departmcnt,-and aided by friends and intelligent
correspondents, she hopes to give an increased in
terest and value to the work.
Our readers will undoubtedly be much
gratified to learn that Mrs. HEMANs has encouraged
us to hope that the pages of the Ladies' Magazine
will be enriched by original poems from her pen.
She has already sent offering, which will be found
in the January number.
With regard to our future course, we can
only state that shall put in exercise our best en-
deavoure to make the work worthy publick approba-
ton, and useful, well as entertaining to the La
dies, on whose aid and encouragement we conf
IDENTIFY depend.
In the literary department, the progress
of education, and all improvements connected with
that most important, and to mothers. deeply inter-
estng subject, the physical moral, and mental cul-
ture Of children will receive particular attention.
The cultivation of the female mind is SO obviously
connected with human happiness and the best inter-
ests of society that efforts should be spared to
disseminate that knowledge which will improve the
taste call forth the talents and thereby make the vir
tues of women more effective in their influence or
the manners and morals of the world. We would
not BY this encourage display II is an excess Of su.
pericial accomplishments, not Of real reformation
sound learning-that should, in republican America
be feared.
The established character of the work
will be preserved, natiue ,criers encouraged, the
history, scenery, and characteristics OF our own
country and people described and displayed /; and,
should we receive she assistance contemplated, all
subjects connected with Literature, Science and
the Fine-Arts, which are usually discussed in the
best periodicals, will here find place. A monthly
