THE BOSTON NOTION
is weekly gazette of original and selected l,eru-
ture and intelligence. 1t embraces Tales, Poems,
Essays, Reviews of New Works, Biographical,
Historical and Humorous Sketches, Anecdotes &c,
&C., selected from the widest range Of British and
American current and periodical literature. There
is no literary periodical in the English language
worthy of regard which the editors do not receive,
and select from frequently as the character of
the articles indicates to be proper.
THE ORIGINAL DEPARTMENT
Of the BosToN NORTON, besides the contributions
Of the editor, will. as heretofore, embrace from
time to time contributions from Professor Long
fellow, author of Hyperion Voices Of the Night,
etc.: Rev. John Pierpont, outhor of Airs of Paes-
tine &c; Henry William Herbert Esq, author
of Cromwell 'The Brothers, SC; Will"m Gil
more Simms, Esq, author of Guy Rivers South
ern Passages and Pictures,' &c; Hon. Caleb Cush-
ing, NJ. e., author of "Reminiscences of Spain,
SC; Henry T. Tuckerman, Esq. author OF The
Italian Sketch Book SC; aud many moro of the
most distinguished authors now living. No weekly
ga zette, and but few monthly quarterly period
Gals, have ever possessed list Of more distin.
guished or able contributors than the BosToN No.
TIoN. Those above mentioned have eacn been for
many months among its writer's. A new feature
Of the next volume will be the publication Of a
new romance, written expressly for 1t, by HENRY
WILLIAM HERBERT, Esq, entitled
THE MAIDS REVENGE.
Critics who have examined the MS. of this work
think it the masterpiece of its author. By the frs
critical journals of Great Britain, Mr. HERBER1
} is pronounced equal to any historical novel
list except Sir Walter Scott, who has written in til,
English language. The purchase of origina
works of this description marks an era in the his
tory Of newspaper publication in America Tn,
next volume of the NORTON will also contain
NEW NOVEL BY BULWER,
The first romance writer of the age. The splen
did productions of this great author have hitherto
been almost inaccessible to those who reside il
small towns and in the country. In this pape
they will obtain his works, for about one tent
of the price demanded for them by the booksellers
Another feature of the NoTioN will be the publca
ton of
, ORIGINAL DISCOURSES
: by the most eminent divines. Among those VIII
have hitherto contributed to this department of tn
D NORTON, may be mentioned Rev, JOHN PlERPoNT
Rev. S. X. LoTHRoP, Rev E. H. CHAPLIN, and 9th
| ers The most important new ronances pubishe
in England will be re.published in the NoTIoN i'm
mediatey after :her reception in this country
Heretofore the works of DICKENS, MARRYAT
CocKToN and AiNswoRTH, printed in this gazette
would have cost four times as much as the entir
subscription Of the paper, if purchased separated
at the book stores. The BosroN NORTON will con
tinue to be rich in this department as in previou
f years.
COSTLY WOOD ENGRAVINGS,
imported from Europe, or designed by JonSsro,
and other eminent artists expressly for the work
will continue to illustrate and embellish its pages
As gazette of literary, dramatic, commercial, po
litical and general
INTELLIGENCE,
the NORTON will be inferior to no periodical now
or ever published in America. The FOLIO edition
utter the ninth day of October, will contain foul
pages Of ten columns each.
THE QUARTO EDITION,
of which the first number will be published on The
9th of October, will be sold on the same terms a.
the folio edition 1t will be printed on very
large sheet, of the finest quality, and each humble

HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWo PAGES, with an indie.
and an elegant title page. Certainly So large
work, embracing an equal amount and variety o
matter, of so great excellence, was never yet is
sued for small price as THREE DOLLARS. Tn
QUARTo will not embrace the novels in cours
of publication in the FOLIO, but will contain all tn
NEW WORKS before alluded to.
CONDITIONS.
The Price of the Folio Edition will remain a
now. Subscribers to that edition will not be al
lowed to transfer existing subscription to the new
form, such course would be productive of muc
confusion and Inconvenience in the publishing de
partment. Indeed, as the Stories now being print
r cd in the folio edition, Old 81. Paurs and Georg
, 81. George Julian, will not be continued in thi
| Quarto, it is presumed that but few will wish t.
change from to the other; though it is expecte
that many will obtain both editions. Those VIII
intend to subscribe for the QUARTo are requeste
to send in their before the first of October
as it is intended to limit tho edition to the proba
} BILE extent of the demand.
Price Of Folio and QuartO Editions: One copy
a year, Three Dollars; Two copies, Five Dollars
Four copies, Ten Dollars; Six copies, Fifteen Dol
lars; Nine Copies, Twenty Dollars. All remittan
ces must be postpaid free, and the invariabl
rule of the Office is to discontinue every subscrip
ton at the expiration of the time paid for unles
: previously renewed by further payment in ad
Iance. No subscription received without advanc
payment
