For the fermer purpose, besides continuing the
services of
PROFESSOR FROST,
whose ample scholarship, enlarged information,
correct tasIe, anJ acknowledged ability as an ele
GAM ana instructive writer. peculiarly qualify him
Tor the management of periodical devoted to
young people, tie publisher has engaged the
EDITORIAL AID OF T. S. ARTHUR,
gentleman so favoraby known to the American
public. throug the medium his unsurpassed pro-
cuctlons, that it would be idle to pronounce any
culogy on his merits. Perhaps no living author
IS more emnently fitted TO impart instruction in an
attractive and impressive form than Mr.. Arthur.
Endowed with an extraordinary acuteness Of per-
ceptlon, and the most vivid power of delneation,
he has applied these gifts TO the development
OF practical truths, and while every thing which
falls from his penis calculated TO attract and fix the
highest degree OF interest, it impresseS at the same
time the most useful moral. Thousands, il may
confidently be asserted, have already been ava
kened to a sense of duties unperformed, or evil
habits unrestrained by the simple and unobtrusive
but searching lessons he has taught, and in the new
field which his connection with the editorial de-
partlnen: of the Young Peoples Book will open to
him, no doubt can be entertained that he will reap
fresh honors for himself, and confer fresh benefits
the community.

Without intending the slightest dispararement
10 either of the many admirable periodicals now
issued from the American press, the publisher of
the Young Peoples Book feels justified in saving
that his work possesses advantages, in some re-
pec;s, which no other can fairly claim Avoiding
on the one hand whatever is frivolous in itself or
