THE BOSTON MISCELLANY.
AND I.ADY's MoNrHLY MAGAZINE,

In making preparations for the publication of
a new volume, would tender their heartfelt
thanks to the reading public, for the exceeding
ly liberal patronage-iar beyond their most
sdnguine xpectations-whch has been be-
slowed upon their enterprise during the past
year. Although twelvemonth only has
elapsed since it made its appearance in the lite
rary field, and that too under circumstances OF
peculiar disadvantages, viz, the pressure OF
the tlmes-the great competition in this line
which they expected to meet from periodicals
long since established on solid basis, and the
knowledge OF the fact, that numerous attempts
had been made previously, to locate magazine
OF apurely literary character in this quarter of
the United States, and as often laied vet they
have the pride and satisfaction of pointing To
lengthy subscription list, which is augmentng
every day. The kindness and encouragement
extended thus far toward their work, have but
served to stimulate them to still greater exer-
tons, and to redouble their efforts to merit the
favor OF the reading community To this end
they have made and are still making the most
extensive arrangements to bring out the mis-
cellany for lS49 in manner that will set all
competition aside. II will be printed with
feature and quality.
No pains or expense will be spared to render
this volume the mos valuable and attractive
book OF the season. Artists of the highest rank
have been engaged to assist in the pictorial de-
partment, and every number will be emtellished
with magnificent Steel Engrauings.
The publishers would call the attention of
the public TO the fact, that they admit nothing
but Steel Engrdpings into their work. Those
that have been given during the publication of
the hrst and second volumes have been spo-
ken of in terms of the most unqualified ap-
probation, and it will be their continued, un-
wcarying endeavor to deserve the praise that
has been so lavishly bestowed upon their efforts.
They will continue TO introduce netr and orig
.sndt American subjects, Historical, Landscape
and Picturesque, executed insevery variety of
art, which will far exceed lahy' thing Of the
kind that has ever been got up,
Richly Colored Fashions Will be furnished
quarterly instead Of monthly as heretofore, so
that their less frequent recurrence, while j, does
not diminish their usefulness will enable the
publishers to supply larger number Of Steel
Engrarings of a much more general interest
The fashion plates will be accompanied with
full and minute descriptions of the style of dress
from the most authentic sources abroad. Each
number will also contain, two or more pages of
nep and popular Music, which will be repub-
lished Immediately after its appearance in Eu-
rope, together with many Of the best American
compositions. ,'
Literary character IF The .Miscellanv-In
this department of the work, il is the intention
OF the publishers to make decided change
to introduce greater variety in the matter, to
give larger proportion Of articles of a lighter |
and more sprighty character, and to increase
its interest throughout; in word, To remodel |
il entirely, and adapt il to the popular taste off
the day, They wish to produce work that
will crafty most refined taste, aud one that
will rebound to the honor and credit Of Amer-
can literature, at home and abroad To place
in the hand of the scholar and literary man
periodical which they will open and peruse
with pleasure, and to present to the genter
sex companion for their leisure hours, and
ncver-faing source of entertainment and in
struction. Such is their plan, and to carry it
out fully, they are determined TO snare no from
BILE or expense. Arrangements have been
made, and negotiations are still pending with
writers of the most unquestionable talent and
ability; which, when completed, will secure
the aid of the most efficient corps of contribut-
ors in the United States.
Articles will be furnished in every department
Of literature and the arts. 1t needs but sim
gle glance at the annexed list of male and ie-
male writers to verify the promises of the pub
fishers in regard to the future excellence of the
work. The reader will perceive that these
which constitute but portion of the army
pledged TO sustain the scellany-rank among
the most celebrated writers in the world. II
should be stated, however, that the claims off
the Magazine TO the patronage of the publc.
are not rested on the popularity of lis con-
iributors, but upon the intrinsic merits of their
productions.
