As far as 1t relates to US, we err
AN unequivocally deny the assertion. 1t is St
low more than seventeen years since we. s.
mere how at the time, commenced the pubca-
lion ofthe New YORK MIRROR; and, under
all its changes, and improvements, thousands -
of its early friends and subscribers have adher-
ed TO it with constancy no less fattering to =
ourselves than it is complimentary to thelrper- 1
manent attachments.
We now make an important change, VIZ. r
commencement of cur nineteenth year, on this
ID of Janury, 1S4l.* In making this change, c
we are only following the example Of many Of
our contemporaries, who, after publishing their I
papers for several years, were under the ne :
cessity Of adopting this plan, that their subscri-
hers might not therefore be confused about the
BEGINNING and ending ofthe publication year. Q
But the more important part OF our change IS {
our intention of giving an elegant steel-plaie I
engraving euerg nonth,many of which we have
already selected, and have engravers employed
on several of them.
In consequence of the disappointment we
Ehave met with from ONE OF our engraVers,Who
was to have furnished our January plate, we
have been under the necessity OF sending one
sonl,, a match to what we have formerly furnish
ed. But having now number of artists at
work. that we may eventually have the plates |
engraved and printed at least three months IN |
advance. we shall soon be beyond the reach OF |
, an disappointment, and send thelnto our sub |
ecrihers so well dried and seasoned as to be
almost released from fear of their being injured
: in the mails bv carriage. The plates we have
Y now in hand are such as have never been pro-
duced in any periodical in this country, and
J. cannot be surpassed in the world at least SO
