brilliant array of contributors, whose articles have
enriched the pages of each number, will give it a
character second to no Magazine in the Union.---

its pages will be equally removed from sickly sem
tmentality, and from aiiectaton Of morality, but

in its pages to cause blush upon the cheek of the
most pure
The Literrry Character will be sufficiently guar
antecd by the reputation of both Magazines thus u
nited for years past Writers of the first rank have
