The same attention to this department will be

tastes shall be consulted.
Engravings from the paintings of Landseer and
Collins, two of the most eminent painters OF Lon,

as soon as arrangements can he completed, our
long cherished plan of original engravings from
paintings originally prepared for the Book, Will be
Given, one in each number. Two are now IN pre-

fail in being remunerated for our outlay, but our
subscribers will be benefited.
We give twice as many embellishments as any
other Magazine, and each pate IS, because we
pay more for its engraving, superior TO any one o.
any contemporary, and yet the price ot\the Ma

any other country, Mrs. HALE and Mrs. 81
Courtney, assisted monthly by one OF no less
ability, Miss LESLIE.

to call attention TO the following published in lust

Magazine illustrations ia this or any other country.

without hesitation that those for this year shall be

more thar the price Of subscription. We 10 mol
