increase
n Casket, which has been nearly doubled since
the commencement of the last volume, warrants the
first extensive improvements on the first of July,
Sl40-at which time a new volume will be comneh-
ced with increased ygor. Nothing need b. said OF
the firm basis on which the Casket stands, it being
already the Oldest Magazine in the country, and has
maintained its popularity in the face of all oppose
ton 1t is to be found upon the centre table of FAM
lies, making literary pretentions, from Maine to
Georgia.
The Casket is printed on clear and beautiful
type, upon the finest white paper. The illustrations
not surpassed by those of any periodical at home
abroad and beside tn monthly steel engravings,
quarterly plate of colored fashions has lately been
ordered. The style of the embellishments une-
qualled, and they are always accompanied with an
appropriate sketch No wood cuts, disgrace the
work Whatever appears in the Casket Is of the first
order of Arts.
The volume will be opened with the first of a Sc
ries of splendid Mezzount engravngs, prepared ex-
pressly for the work, by the BURN of Sartain, who
deser7edly stands the best e1gravcr of the kind n
the United States.
The literary character of the Casket is well known.
1t is wholly original, of the highest order and sus-
tanned by writers of the first ranks Essays, Tales,
Sketches and travels, compose its prominent prose
articles whilet the poetry equaed by that of no 9TH
er Magazine of like character. The variety for
which the Casket is celebrated, shall suffer dimn-
ution; but on the contrary, every exertion shall be
made to increase its interest.
Several Romanees ofthe Revolution have appeared,
presenting, when finished complete picture of the
manners, and historical account of the great bat
ties of that time. Thus the Casket, instead of be-
ing filled with sickly sentimcntasts, aims at true
deliniation Of human nature in every variety pas
sion.
The series of thrilling Nautical Sketches, entitled,
Crusing in the last war; and which is rated by the
cctemporary press, equal to the celebrated sketches
from tom Cringles Log" will be continued, and
Tie Leaves from Lawyers Port-foio,' which
