The great demand which has existed for the
pas, year for Godey's Lady's Book, Graham's
Magazine, and other kindred publications, has
induced the subscriber TO present TO the public
Monthly Magazine similar, in its general features
to the popular works referred TO, but with some
CLAIMS TO ATTENTION which they do
not possess. For this purpose he has secured
the aid of MISS +. LESLIE, universally known
as one of the first FIRST FEMALE WRITER'S
OF THE AGE, and particularly distinguished
by her graphic sketches of manners, and her
success in illustrating and correcting fashionable
follics.
AS the writer Of various books, and contrib
utor TO Godcy's Lady's Book, Gmhaln's Maya
zine, and other periodicals of high reputation
Miss Leslie has done much to enlighten and
entertain the public, and in the Magazine now
presented, which bears her name, she will make
her eminent talents still more available for the
general good. Besides \ SERIES OF NOVEL
l.ETTES, in her own inimitablc style, in which,
under cover Of amllsemcnt some beneficial de-
sign will be promoted, she will furnish from her

embracing general suggestions for the rcgula-
ton of domestic establishments, Hints and Re-
Elections Useful to llolsckecpers, practical adj
vice, numerous receipts never before published,
and all other things that may be made subser-
Went to the purpose. This department of the
| Magazine, though no undue space will be allot-
ted to it, is NOT TO BE FOUND IN ANY
OTHER PERIODICAL, and the Publisher
satisfied that it will not be less interesting and
valuable than it is novel.
As ii is the purpose of the Publisher to make
the Magazine Tributary to Useful Designs, he
| has made an arrangement with the Justly cclc-
bretcd +. $. ARTHUR, Esq, by which that
gentleman will be directly engaged in joint
superintendent, and will heStow his best endea-
vors. MIR Arthur will furnish one or more of
his Life Like Narratives, and such other mat

Improvement Of all ages and classes, especially
! Young Ladies', to whose interests the
utmost care will be directed.

1t will scarcely be credited that Maga-
zinc, such as has been dcscripcd, can be afforded
at the low rate OF 81 30 PER ANN vi,
when but single copy is subscribed for, but, at
the risk OF consdcrabc loss, the publisher has de-
tcrmincd to furnish it for that sum, being lIst
one half the price OF the other principal Maya
zines Indeed, as will be seen by the subjoincd
list Of offers and premiums, the publisher has
resolved upon obtaining wide circulation for
this publication, as it will require an immense
edition to repay the large OUTLAWS necessary o bet
made.
