LITERARY AMMO JUDGEMENT
sEPPIeasc Read!
THE BOSTON MISCELLANY,
AND LApy's MoNTnLY MAGAZINE,

a new volume, would tender their heartfelt
thanks to the reading public, for the exceeding
Nv liberal patronagc-lar beyond their most
sanpuine expect atoms which has been be-
slowed upon their enterprise during the past
year. Although n twclvemonth only has
elapsed since it made its appearance IN the me-
rnry field, and that too under circumstances OF
peculiar disadvantages, viz, the pressure oil
the times-the great competition in this line
which they expected to meet from periodicals
long since established on a solid basis, and the
knowledge OF the fact, that numerous attempts
had been made previously, to locate magazine
of purely literary character in this quarter OF
the United States, and as often failed; yet they
have the pride and satisfaction Of pointing TO
lengthy subscription list, which is augmentlng
every dav 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 lS43 in a manner that will set all
competition aside. 1t will he printed with
nep and beautiful type, on paper Of the finest
texture and qualify.
No pains or expense will be spared to render
this volume the mosI 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 embellished
with magnificent Steel EngraringS.
The publishers would call the attention of
the public To the fact that they admit nothing
but Steel Engrapings into their work. Those
that have been given during the publication of
the first and second volumes have been spo-
ken of in terms of the most unqualified APP
probation and it will be their continued, un-
wearying endeavor TO deserve the praise that
has been so avishly bestowed upon their efforts.
They will continue to introduce netc and orig
inal american subjects, Historical Landscape
and Picturesque, executed in every variety OF
art, which will far exceed any thing Of the
kind that has ever been got up.
Richly ColOred Fashions will be furnished
quarterly iastead of monthly as heretofore, 50
that their less frequent recurrence, while il does
not diminish their usefulness, will enable the
publishers to supply larger number of Steel
EngrdringS of 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
ne,c 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 .Misceliany-In
this department of the work. il is the intention
of the publishers to make decided changc:-
TO introduce greater variety in the matter, TO
give a larger proportion of articles of lighter
and more sprightly character, and to increase
lis interest throughout; in a word, TO remodel
il entirely and adapt il 10 the popular taste of
the day, They wish 10 produce work that
will crafty most refined taste, and one that
will rebound to the honor and credit of Ameri-
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 gentler
sex companion for their leisure hours, and a
never-failing source of entertainment and in
struction. Such is their plan, and to carry il
| out fully they are determined to spare no trou-
BILE or expense. Arrangements have been
| made, and negotiations still pending with
writers of the most unquestonable talent and
ability; which, when completed, will secure
the aid of the most efficient corps Of contri6ut-
orS in the United States.
Articles will be furnished in every department
OF literature and the arts. Ii needs but a sim
gle glance at the annexed list of male and ie-
male writers 10 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 a portion of the army
pledged TO sustain the Miscelany-rank among
the most celebrated writers in the world. 1t
should be stated, however, that the claims of
the Magazine TO the patronage of the public,
are not rested on the popularity of its con-
trbutors, but upon the intrinsic merits of their
productions.
Time of Publication. The Miscellany will
be forwarded to any part Of the Union in sea-
son for a simultaneous publication on the first

depend upon receiving their numbers punctual-
ly on those days, before their contents have
been anticipated by the journals of the day.
TERMs.-The very lowest terms that the
Miscellany can be misunderstanding into con-
sidcration the enormous expenses that the
publishers are continually mourning 10 increase
