The style of elegance, the beauty and finish of ths
illustrations, and the extensive improvements whi
will be made in its typographical appearance q,
above all the tone of its literary department; by d
brilliant array of contributors, whose articles hss
enriched the pages of each number, will give it
character second to no Magazine IN the Onion,
The character of the articles which shall appear
its pages, will be equally removed from sickly sen
timentality, and from an affectation OF morality
while true delineation Of human nature in even
variety of passion is aimed at nothing shall be ton
in its pages to cause blush upon the cheek Of b
most pure.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER will be 81
fciently guaranteed by the reputation of both Ma
zines thus united, for years past. Writers Of ID
first rank have been regular contributors to ths
pages, and the tales and sketches published in then
have been widely copied and read, and the firm an
