On Saturday, the second day OF January, val
be ssued'the first number of the Second Volume
of the QUARTo n WORLD, This tolm, beng
conven ent for binding aud preservation, has been
and is much preferred by great numbers OF our reao-
ers in city and country. Each NUMBER oil lhe 'Iuar-
TO Edition contains the same articles IA Inc foho'
with the exceptions only Of the advertisements ard
a few unimpor!ant news items OF no permanent M
ferest The second volume Of The QuaTto Is COM
menced with The new year for the accommodation
and convenience Of new subscribers, who, at That
period generally determine on the character and
kind of periodicals best recommended to their at
lention and best worthy oftheir patronage.
The NEw WORLD was begun. in The large, or
folio size, in October, 1889. 1t Immediately NC
'quired crcu ation unprecedenilv great II was
ordered to be sent all parts ofthe country; il was
sod in great numbers in the principal cities of the
Union The plan upon which it was conducted,
was novel and striking. Its distinguishing feature
was, thai it republished with unpata leed dispatch
the most attractive portions ofnew English literature
On its broad and ample pages were displayed in
rapid and brilliant succession. the latest productions
of the most popular authors Of the day. Their
names formed galaxy. which shed Il fascinating
lustre around the new and eopous Journal. One
star differed from another star in glory, but they
were all stare. Not many of the miner lights were
admitted into their splendid company. DICKENS,
BULwER, TALFoURD, MILFORD, AINsw ORTIZ,
DEWEY, SEpGwICK, LoNCTELLow, have few
compeers in their time, and few worthy OF beng
ranked with them.
Uwasnot TO be wondered at that the NEW WORLD
became a great favorte with the intelligent and read
ing public There onl one objection made TO
it-and that was its size. The Folio form was the
most popular but not most convenient Tor IN Sc, who
considered the works which il contained too vaua-
bic IL be thrown aside. For such readers. the
Quarto was commenced in June last, and for such 1t
will be continued.
For The new volume, commencing in Januaty,we
ask the subscriptions of all lovers Of pure and elegant
literature throughout the country. We ask them tor
to favor ,ci'h their names Immediately, that we
mcy not fail short Of the number that wili be re-
quired in this form. The reasonableness of this
request will be understood when we state that or
ders are every day received for back numbers which
cannot be supplied Ten times the subscription
price would now be cheerfuly paid by those, who
DELAYED to send early orders. The scarcity of old
numbers is an admirable proof of their value; in
them are contained works sold for sixpence and one
shilling. which cost in the original editions one dol
lar and sometimes five dollars.
The New WORLD W i'll he conducted as it has
been, with those Improvements and additions. which
time and experience have not lailed 10 suggest. 1t
will be complete in all the departments of firstrae
literary journal From the extensive acquaintance
enioyed by the Editors with all the best writer's and
critics of the country, this will be no very difficult
task. 1t will continuet TO be edited by Park Benla-
min ard Epes Sargent
This form Of the New WORLD will be rendered
more elegant in lis external appearance. 1t will be
embellished with engravings aud music, chosen by a
distinguished professor.
