DROSPECTUS OF NEW AND VERY
CHEAP MAGAZINE
On the first day of April, was commenced new
Magazine take The place Of The mia and Budget

BALTIMORE MONTHLY NISITER.
II is issued with far heater cover, good paper
and type, and is composed OF closely printed matter
amounting TO nearly four hundred pages per volume
Each number will be accompanied by very fine
wood cut, illustrating the natural history and
toms of the month for which each number is intend
ed. Each design will be accompanied by both prose
and poetic sketches not only of the general features
and holiday customs, but likewise Of the agricultural
pecuaries Of every month. This will be a new
feature, and, II is hoped will render the Monthly
VIsIrER peculiarly welcome guest on every farm
er's table. The first number is likewise embelished
with engraving, representing Shakspeare's Tanning
the Shrew, illustrated by story from the pen OF the
late Charles Lamb, one of the most popular authors
England has boosted. This plate, and the Illus
tratlons of the months, have never appeared in any
other magazine.

Monthly lsiter, may be inferred from the following
