On the first day of April. was commenced a

and type, and is composed Of closely printed matter
amounting to nearly four hundred pages per volume
Each number will be accompanied by a very fine
wood cut, illustrating the natural history and
toms of the month for which each number is intend
ed Each design will be accompanied by both prose
and poetic sketches, not only of the general features
and holiday customs, but likewise Of the agricultural
peculiariiies of every month This will be a new
feature, and, il is hoped will render the MoSrBll
VIsIrER peculiarly welcome guest on every farm
ers table The first number is likewise embellished
with an engraving, representing Shakespeare Tanning
the Shrew, illustrated by story from the pen of the
late Charles Lamb, of the most popular authors
England has ever boosted. This plate, and the illus
traons of the months have never appeared in any
other magazine.
The quality of the reading matter Of the Baltimore
Monthly Nlslter may be inferred from the following
list Of contributors to which other distinguished names

TO amuse will be our aim

In the line of critical notices of books, de-
ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan of
the g Phenx and Budget''and in the way Of stories
an important reform has been adopted, which viii
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued, pro-
| vokngly from number to number.
In order TO place the work in the hands Of such as
may not feel willing to pay the expensive prices
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unlustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for sin
gle copy-fve copies for IS 90. This is giving about
four pages for cent
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that We
may know how to regulate issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates -
extremely anxious to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely possible.
