UT has been said, that the American people RI
are tickle in their attachments that they
are fond of change and variety, and willingly tie
mart with an old friend for the novelty Of new ha
acquaintance. As far as it relates to US, we
ran unequivocally deny the assertion. 1t is IN
now more than seventeen years since we. 81
mere boy at the time, commenced the pubhca-
t;on ofthe New YoRK-MIRRoR and, under f.,
all IFS changes, and improvements, thousands >,
of its early friends and subscribers have adher-
ed TO it with constancy no less tlatterlng to fl
ourselves than it's complimentary to their per- j
nianent attachments.
/ We now make an important change, W. a ii
commencement of our nineteenth year, on this a
od Of Janurv. lS4I.* In making this change,
i we are only following the example OF many OF i
our contemporaries, who, after publishing their
lnapers for several years; were under the ne G
cessity of adopting this plan, that their subscr-
hers mioht not therefore be confused about the
berinninr and ending of the publication year. {
Rnf the more important part ofour change is,
sonr intention ofgiving an elegant steel-piaie
engraving euerg 4nonthsmany OF which we have
already selected and have engravers employed
on several of them.
In consequence of the disappointment we
have met with from ONE OF our engraVers,Who
: was to have furnished our january ptate, we |
have been under the necessity OF senong one |

an dsaDnointment, and send them 10 our sub
scr1bers so well dried and seasoned as to be
almost released from fear of their being injured
IN the mails by carriage. The plates we have
now in hand are such as have never been pro-
duced in anv periodical in this country, and
