FN 10 say that this IS reading age, i,nnl;o. \ a desire for instruction, and inc ,p-'oS poen' to gratify that desire. On the first no;,,t e's ls are agreed on the second, there is divss,,;.n an both of opinion and of practice. Whaay Wa ha'y newspapers, magazines, reviews. in s,e s. pamphlets of all sizes, on nearly ii snb;oa.' ao' which have seFerally their classes of resdss' sdss' and supporters. And yet, eopiens sNsls sss sls these means of intellectual supply. more sse s.e still needed. In addition to the reviere @'s as the day, and passing notices of books tha ol people, in large numbers, in all parts of ors eae great republic, crave the possession of pa .la books themselves, and details, beyond nooas oae passing allusion, of the progress of disoorollee in art and science. But though it be easv.5 ascertain and express their wants. it ;s ase ~ so easy to gratify them. Expense, distanoss from the emporium of literature, enpross;ns. occupations which prevent personal apnea ton or even messages to libraries and bo0I sellers. are so many causes to keen neonIa away from the feast of reason, and the. ene,, ment of the coveted literary alirnent It;. the aim of the publishers of the I.ibrary ts obviate these difficulties, and to enable eya,,. individual, at a small cost and without aa,, personal effort, to obtain for his own use ana that of his favoured friends or family. valn able works, complete, on all the branches oe useful and popular literature, and that ;na form we'll adapted to the comfort of the read, CT.
 The charm Of variety, as far as it k ef,r. patible with morality and good taste, willie held constantly in view in conductino tbs Library, to fill the pages of which the cnr. rent literature of Great Britain, in all fife various departments of Biography. Historv Travels, Novels and Poetry, shall be freey, put under contribution. With, perehancs occasional exceptions, 1t is intended to oive entire the work which shall be selected er publication. When circumstances authorize 1 the measure, recourse will be had to inc l literary stores of Continental Europe. and translations made from French, Italian or l German, as the case may be.
 Whilst the body of the work will be- reprint, or at times translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscel. 1 laneous character of | Magazine, and consist of sketches of men and things, and notices& novelties in literature and the arts, throuOh. out the civilized world. A full and reonlsr supply of tine literary monthly and hebdom. adal journals of Great Britain and Ireland in addition to home periodicals of similar cha. racter, cannot fail to provide ample materials l for this part of our work.
 The resources and extensive correspond. ence of the publishers, are the best guarantee l for the continuance of the enterprise in which they are now about to embark, as well as for the abundance of the materials to give 1t "a. lue in the eyes of the public. As far as judi. cious selection and arrangement are concern ed, readers will, 1t is hoped, have reason to be fully satisfied, as the editor of the Library is not stranger to them, but has more than once obtained their favorable snffrages for bis past literary efforts.
