or CHOICE LITER AZURE. FEsO say that this is reading age, implies K a desire for instruction, and the means to gratify that desire. On the first point. all are agreed on the second, there is diversity boff, off opinion end of &nraetice. Me havas newspapers, magazines, reviews, in fine. palnphiets of all sizes, on nearly all subjects. which have seyerally their classes of readers and supporters. And yet, copions as are these means of intellectual supply, more arc still needed. In addition to the reviews of the day, and passing notices of books. the people. in large numbers, iii all parts of our tserrst republic, crave the pessession of the books themselves, and tittaiifs, beyond mere Ipassing allasion, of the progress of discovery l in art and science. But though 1t be easy to5 Iaseertain and express their wants, it is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, distance l from the emporium of literature, engrossinr. loceupations which prevent personal applica- ton or even messages to libraries and book sellers, are SO many causes to keep people Eawag from the feast of reason. and the enioy- iaeft of the coveted literary aliment. It Is the aim of the publishers of the Library to ob4iate these difficulties, and to enable every l individual at I siaail ceat and without any personal effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his fagoufed friends or family, valu- able works, complete, on all the branches of useful and popular literature, and that in q l form well adapted to the comfort of the read- l CT.
 The charm of variety, as fur as 1t 1t is coni- tpatible with morality and good taste, will be held constantly in view in condueting the I.ibfary, to ill tine pages Of winch the cur Trent literature of Great Britain, in all it's | I ,EF i Travels, Novels and Poetry, shall be freely pat under contribution. With, perchance, occasional exceptions, it is intended to give entire the work which shall be selected for publication V hen circumstances authorize the measure, recourse will be had to the literary stores of Continental Europe, and l ItransIatiens made from French, Italian, or German, as the case may be.
 Whilst the body of the work will be reprint. or at times translation of entire l volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscel- laneous character of q Magazine, and consist of sketches of men and things, and notices of novelties in literature and the arts, through out the civilized world. \ full and regular supply of the literary monthly and hebdom- l adal journals of Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of u similar cha raetery cannotfaii to provide ample materials for this part of our work.
 i The resources and extensive correspond enee of the publishers, are the best guarantee for the continuance of the enterprise in which l they=are now about to embark, as well as for the abundance of the materials to give it va he in the eyes of the public. As far as judi cious selection and arrangement are concern l ed, readers will, 1t Is hoped. have reason 10 ] be fully satisfied, as the editor of the Library IS not q stranger to them, but has more than once obtained their favorable salfrages for his past literary efforts.
