Wrgazine IN the u,lioa-The Magazine has
become the standard of taste in matters of ems
bellisfment, and has led the way in everything
really beautiful published in the magazines of
last year. The voice of the public press,
while it places the work at the head of Amer
r~o~x
ment, that no work ever started in the country
has been so elegantly embellished, or has so
rapidly increased. For the new volume the
most extensive arrangements have been made
with the most distinguished artists of the coun-
try for supply Of elegant embellishments of
all sorts.

affords us much satisfaction to be able to state
that we have made arrangements with Mr. Sar-
tain, the accomplished Mezzotint engravef,
whose plates have contributed SO much to the
beauty ofthe magazine heretofore, bv which
we secure his splendid mezz6tints for his ,tork
alone. No other magazine of this kind can
have them acthout our permission. This we
take to be a good move, and although the pre-
ference is pafchasedb y us at a ueyy heaag er-
pense, we are confident that nothing car. be got
up to equal them in beauty, or to compete Nth
them IN popularity. The engagement is per-
nanent and is confined to magazine work a.
lione-In addition to those We have secured
the BURN of another talented mizzotitit ehgra-
yer, H. S. Sadd Esq. of N. Y. that there NAV
be no disappointment as to number or original
Hy. These will be equal to anything publish.

we shall be able to distance anything like com
petition on this ground. These plates are the
most expensive that can be got up for maya
zine OF large circulation, in consequence of,the
great price OF printing being more than don
ole that Of hne e'tgrau;ngs-and the necessity
OF reduplicatlng the plates; our edition already
rendering it necessary that tao or three plates
OF the same subject must be prepared for eve
ry number in which they are used. We now

that at the same rate of increase wesshall issue
