AND TIE
LADIES' AND GENTLEMAN'S
NORLD OF LITERATURE
AND FASHION,


been pronounced the most readable and popular
Of the day, will be opened on the FiTst Of JanUa-
~, lo4l, with an array Of contributors secured
/ by the union, ofialent and fame, which no peri.
odieal in the country can boast OF pretend TO ri
val. The December number, will, however, bS
a specimen Of tho new volume. The Volume
will be opened with a new and beautiful type,
the finest white paper, and with the FIRST Of Sc
ries Of embellishments UNsURPAssED by any which
have yet appeared in any Magazine. The style
of elegance, the beauty and finish Of these illuS-
trations, and the extensive Improvements which
win be made in its typographical appearance,
and, above all, the tone Of iS literary depart
ment, by the brilliant array Of contributors, whose
articles have enriched the pages ofeaeh num-
ber, will give il a character, seeORd 70 no MGgG-
Sine Ia TIE Union. The character Of Ibs aTti-
eles which shall appear IN iiS pages, will BE-
equally removed from = sickly sentimentaIity,
and from an afectatiOn Of morality, but while
a true delineatiOn Of human nature in every vaTi-
ETY. Of passion is aimed at, nothing shall bo
found in its pages to crimson the cheek Of the
mos: pure.
The Literary Character will be sufficiently
guaranteed by the reputation Of both Magazinea
thus united, for years past. Writers ofths first
rank have been regular contributors to their pa
gss, and the tales and sketches published in then,
have been widely copied and read, and the hrp,
and independent tone of the criticisms upon m.
current literature of the day, has been every
where approved and commended.
The List of Contributors embraces the names
of most of the principal writer's in Ameriea. with
a respectable number of English authors.

last year, from the pens Of the fOllowing:-

In addition to this brilliant array of names
known to fame, the distinguished services of 4
host of anonymous writers ofno ordinary abili-
ties, hs We given worth and character to the pa
ges of the Magazine. The series ofwell known
nautical papers entitled, "Cuizins in the Last
War; have had a run, unequaIled by any series
published in any Magazine, for years. The au-
thor promises to open the first of new series Of
Tales of the Sea, and from his known abilities
as depictor of sea scenes and life, much may
be relied upon from him in maintaining the pop
ularity the Magazine. Papers may be ex-
pected during the volume, also from the author
of the we'll known articles entitled, t'Tho Log Of
Old Ironside'' The author oftSyrian Lettefs.U
will also lend his powerful and graceful pen, to
sustain and increase the reputation of the work.
The valuable aid Of the author of ttLeaves from
a Lawyers Port Folio," has been secured,-and
we may expect something still more thrilling
from the capaciOus stores which q long life in
the profession has enabled him to amass. An
occasional Cbt-Chat, with "Jeremy Short,D and
s'Oliver Oldfeow,'' is also promised; with a va
riety of choice articles, in prose and verse. from
various writers ofcelebrity, as Contributors to
the prominent Magazines of the country. The
editors Of both Magazines continue their services
under the new arrangement. With such an
array of talent, Magazine Of OfUnriValIed attras-
tiOns may safely be promised the coming vol
ume.
Fashions and Engravings.
In compliance with the almost un anirnous wish
of our lady subscribers, shall the ensuing vol
ume furnish them with a beautiful and correct
plate ofFAsHIoNs Monthly, a feature il is be-
lievsd, that will neither be unwelcomed nor un-
popular. These fashion plates shall be drawn
from original designs from Paris and London.and
may always be depended upon as the prevailing
style in Philadelphia and New York for he
month in which they are issued. These, ;hswsv-
er shall in no wise interfere with the regular and
choice engravings, and music which accompany
each number of the work The splendid Mez-
zotint engravings from the burin of Santain,
which have been so justly admired, will bo fol-
lowed during the volume by several from the same
hand, while the steel engravings in the best stys
of art, fro interesting scenes shah still enrich
the Magazine. The choicest pieces of music for
the Piano and Guitar shall accompany each
number of the work.
Time of Publication.
The work will be published on the first Of the
month in every part of the Union. The NEST
distant subscribers will consequently receivs cit

adephia. In all the principal cities, agents
have been established, to whom the Magazine
is forwarded, prior to the time of issuing il so

tinue many works, in consequence of the great
delay by publishers
