A NEW Volume, under the above tile, of the
IA well es,absh,d and fashi nable Magazine,
The Philadelphia Casket in conjunction with the
Gen Icman's Magazine, which has been every where
pronounced the most read bile and Ppular of the
day, will he opened the First Of January, lS4l,
with an array of Contributors secuted by the union
of talent and fame, which no periodical in the coun-
try can boast pretend TO rival. The December
number will, however, be SPECIMEN of the new
volume. The Volume will be opened with new
and beautiful type, the finest white paper, and with
the first of series Of embellishments unsurpassed
by any which have yet appeared in any Magozine.
The style Of cagance, the beauty and finish Of these
illustrations, and the extensive Improvements which
will be made in ITS typographical appearance, and

enriched the pages of each number, will give il char
acer, second to no magazine in the Uaion. The
character of the art ces which shall appear in IFS
pages, will I've equally removed from a sicky senli-
mentality, ana from an aif citation of morality, but
while true delincation Of human nature in every
variety Of passion is aimed at, nothing shall be
found in lis pages to cause blush upon the cheek
OF the most pure.
The Literary character will be suficieaty guar
antecd by the IcpItation of boh Mag mes thus
united, for years past. Writers of the first rank
