When we began the publication Of the Mir.
ror, there was no work of similar characterin
the Union, of any literary merit, which comhin.
ed such number of attractions as we have
presented m superior engravings, music, beau
tiful paper,and extreme neatness of Typography.
With a determination TO render It a work
worthy of the extensive support which II Ia.
always received, we went nD, year afier year
employing talent ola high order,in beautifyinc
and orlaneRting the work with gems of thl
pencil aHdthe pen. Few can conceive the in.
mense amount we have paid for literary and
pictorial Contributions. We have been thg
pioneer IN almost every thing that has lifted Tx
periodical press Of this country from ifs fofme'
to its present position, until, by common con
sent, the New York Mirror has been consiseF
ed as inferior to no literary pRbicatiohof I
similar character in the world. We some year
since, In consequence of our constantly increa'
sing expenses, raised the price TO five dollars
and our friends have paid it cheerfully, from ;
conviction that it Is now and always has been
honestly worth the money. Within the asl
few years change has come over ever hing
particularly the republic of letters. Periodical
have increased IN vast numoers, and the a6op
ton of the cash system, and its certain an
prompt results, have induced some few publish
ers to reduce the price of subscriptions, and Il
be contented with limited profits IN conSIdsTa
ton the facilities afforded them BY promP
payment. The subscribers ofthe New for
Mirror are entitled to the full benefit Of tn
change, we therefore began neto series ef u
Eork at the commencement of this year lo4I
but as our motto is not " reduction Of prlce
and gradual decrease of excellence" but
desire to follow up our seventeen years 40
vance, in all respects, and NOW make the Nh
ror the most elegant periodical in the word
we shall make the expensive additions befor
mentioned, and continue the charge OF onl.

In thus issuing it at price which would aP

d;no;, ution in the interest and value of the pub

interest; and every exertion will be made L
