r. CHEAP MAGAZINE

DROSPECTUS OF NEW AND Nthf
u CHEAP MAGAZINE.
On the fret day Of April, commenced new
Magazine to take the place Of The MIR andBudger
under the title of the
BALTIMORE MONTHLY VISITER
II is issued with far neater cover, on good papc
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 Gus
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
pecuarties of every month. This will be new
feature, and, IL is hoped will render the MoSTnIY
VIsITER a peculiarly welcome guest every farm
er's table. The FIRST number is likewise embellished
with an engraving, representing Shakspesre'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
trations of the months, have never appeared in any
other magazine.
The quality of the reading matter of the Baltimore
Monthly Visiter, may be inferred from the following
list Of contributors to which other distinguished names
will be, from time to time, added. To instruct and
to amuse will be our aim
