Of the above eminent writers, celebrated in our
own, and most of them well known in other couni
tries, each have had an article either in the Janaaty
or February number of the Book. 1t is unneces
sary for US To say that such array of names can
tie shown 10y any other magazine in this country,
of any PAIGE.
We give three times many emb llishments as
any other mag zine and each plate is equal if not
superior to the IF any cotem orIry, and yet the
price of the magazine is not increased Our eli-
ton Is immense therefore we nrr enabled TO 60 TO
n greater expense than any other publisher. A
better return may therefore be expected for he o. ice
paid for subscription.
In the two numbers just published we have g-
ven four Plates OF a-hions. COZ tanning eleven ri.
CURES. One beautiful specimen of Lace work
One splend Steel Plate beyond compare, the best
iue engraving published IN an American Ma
gazne. new emhematicsl cover.
In addition to usual well au inged embelIish-
ments, We always publish steel tile pages twice a
year.
The whole amount of enguavngs and embellish-
ments of various kinds tha, the book contains or
will contain this year, may be estimated at about
sixty.
A new series of papers of great value has been
lately commenced by ,.rs Hale. The Domestic
Department" This during The year will compose
great amount OF usual matter.
For enterprize at least, think we deserve some
credit we have been the first TO give TO an Ame~
rican public original ARTICLES from the pens of Mary
Russell Milford author of "Our Villagr"-Mrs. &.
Baron Wilson. editor of London La Belle Assem-
bee, Mrs. Holland, author OF several useful and
valuable works ;-James Montgomery, author of
"Omniprescnce of the Deity" &c; Thomas MiRer.
author of Fair Rosamond and Ruyston G over =
Ebeneezer Elliott, auth of Com Law Rhymes.
We do not particularly mention these names be-
cause they all date from London-our object only
Is 10 show that where there good articles TO be
had, there will we apply. No author of any repu-
talion in our country has ever sought admis-
sion TO "The Book" in ain.
