BALTIMORE MONTHLY VISITER.
Il is issued with far heater cover, good paper
and type, and is composed Of closely printed matter
amounting TO nearly four hundred pages per volume.
Each number will be accompanied by 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

with an engraving, representing Shakespeare Tanning

late Charles Lamb, one of the mort popular authors

tratons OF the months, have appeared in any
other magazine.
