BALTIMORE MONTHLY NISITER
II is issued with far neater cover, on 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 Gus
toms of the month for which each number is intend
ed. Each design will be accompanied by both prose

the Shrew, illustrated by story from the pen OF the
late Charles Lamb, one of the most popular author,

trations Of the months, have never appeared in any
other magazine.

In the line of critical notices Of new books, de-
ciued improvement has been made upon the plan OF
the "Phenix and Budgct"-and in the way Of stories
important reform has been adopted which will
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
vokingly from number to number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such
may not feel willing TO pay the more expensive price
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and uniusrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for sin
gle copy-fyc copies for 50 90. This is giving about
four pages for cent
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that We
may know how to regulate issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious to extend the useiulue>-
of the work as widely possible.
