The unbounded appreciation bestowed on the
plan and execution of the YOUNG PEOPLES
BOOK, by the conductors Of the public press
throughout the U. States, and 0y numerous per
OF the highest distinction, in the various walks
of Literature, Science and Art, well as the sub
stan:ial patronage it has received, have induced
the publisher not only TO increase its claims TO re-
gard by
ADDING TO ITS LITERARY MERITS,
but also to make it more accessible to all classes
of the community, by
Reducing the Price of Subscription.
For the former purpose, besides continuing the
services of
PROFESSOR FROST,
whose ample scholarship, enlarged information,
correct taste, and acknowledged ability an ele-
gan, and instructive writer. peculiarly qualify him
for the management of a periodical devoted TO
young people, the publisher has engaged the
EDITORIAL AID OF T. S. ARTHUR,
a gentleman so favorably known to the American
public, through the medium of his unsurpassed pro-
auctions, that it would be idle to pronounce any
eulogy on his merits. Perhaps no living author
is more emnently fitted to impart instruction in an
attractive and impressive form than Mr.. Arthur.
cepilon, and the most vivid power of dehneatlon,
he has applied these rare gifts TO the development
of practical truths, and while every thing which
falls from his penis calculated to attract and fix the
highest degree of interest, it impreSses at the
time the most useful moral Thousands, it may
confidently be asserted, have already been ava,
kened TO a sense eft duties unperformed, or evil
habits unrestrained, by the simple and unObtrusive
but searching lessons he has taught, and in the
field which his connection with the editorial de-
partment of the Young Peoples Book will open to
him, no doubt can be entertained that he will reap
fresh honors for himself and confer fresh benefits
the community.
In addition TO the labours of the editors, whose
energies will be constantly directed TO maintain
and improve the high character which the Young
Peoples Book has acquired, the various literary
and scientific persons, whose contributions have
riven dignity and force TO the work, will continue

united almost every native writer, male or female,
whose aid may be made instrumental in promoting

useful knowledge in such form as will crafty

hearts of those classes to whom it will be espe-

Without intending the slightest dsparagement
TO either OF the many admirable periodicals now
ISSUED from the American press, the publisher of
The Young Peoples Book feels justified in saying
That his work possesses advantages, in some re-
l.ccts, which no other can fairly claim. Avoiding
"n the one hand whatever is frivolous in itself or
Else IN lis teachings, and on the other, whatever
tedious unentertaining, it occupies middle
round between the magazines exclusively devo-

'' character, and by making the graces of COM

Etowledge, 1t is calculated alike for pleasure and
