A NEW Volume, under the above title, of the
"a well established and fashionable Magazine,
The Philadelphia Casket in conjunction with the
Gen,lcmaD's Magazine, which has been every where
pronounced the most readable and popular of the
day, will be opened on the First of January, lS4l,
with an array of Contributors secured by the union
Of talent and fame, which no periodical in the coun-
try can boast or 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 a series of embellishments unsurpassed
by any which have yet appeared in any Magazine,
The sye of elegance, the beauty and finish of these
illustrations, and the extensive Improvements which
will be made in Its Typographical appearance, and
above ALL the tone of its literary department, by tie
bril- liant array Of contributors, whose articles have
enriched the pages of each number, will give il char
acer, second to no Magazine in the Union. The
character of the articles which shall appear in its
pages will he equally removed from sckiv senti-
mentality, and from an aectaon of morality but
while true delineation Of human nature in every
variety of passion is aimed at, nothing shall be
found in It's pages to cause blush upon the cheek
of the most pure.
The Literary character will he sufficiently guar
anteed by the reputation of both Magazines thus
united, for years past. Writer'S of the first rank
have been regular Contributors to their pages, and
the tales and sketches published in them have been
wildly copied and read, and the firm and indepcn-
dent Of the criticisms upon the current ltcia
ture of the day has been every where approved and
commended. The Iist of contributors embraces the
names of most of the principal writer's in America,
with q respcC table number of English authors.
The series of well known nautical papers, enti-
tied "Ciuizing in the last War;" have had a run,
un,qualed by any ssrios published in any Magazine
for ycas.-1he author promises TO open the first of
new series ul Tales Of the Sea, and from hi known
abilities a depc,er of sea scenes and life, much
may be rclied upon from him in maintaining the
popularity OF the Magazine Papers may I've expect.
