A NEW VOLUME, under the above title, of the
II well established and fashionable Magazine,
the Philadelphia Casket, in con Injunction with the
Gentemens Magazine, which has been every where
pronounced the most readable and popular OF the
day, will be opened the First OF January, lS4l,
with an array of contributors secured by the union
of talent ard fame, which PERIODICAL in the coun-
try can boast or pretend to rival. The December
number will, however, be a specimen of the New
Volume. The Volume will be opened with new and
beautiful type, the finest white paper, and with the
iisst of series of EMBELLISHMENTS UNSURPASSED
by any which have yet appeared in any Magazine.
The style 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 the
brilliant array of contributors, whose articles have
enriched the pages of each number, will give it a
character second to no Mqsazine in the Union.-
The character of the articles which shall appear n
its pages, will be equally removed from sckly SEN
timenality and from allectalon OF morality, but
while a true deIineation of human nature In every
variety of passion is aimed at, nothing shall be ound
in it's pages to cause blush upon the cheek of the
most pure.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER will be suf-
ficently guaranteed by the reputation of both Maya
