be got up for a. magazine of large circulation
in consequence efthe great price of printing
being more than double. thai Of line eagrariRgS

in the way of establishments, show the world
A Pattern for others to Follow

American artists to presume that the corn oau

with, or be preferred; to the beautiful crea-
tons of their geniue, taste, and skill.
