lished with the most exquisite Me..otint
and steel plates and splendid colored plates
of the fashions.
The great demand which has existed for
the past year, for Godey's Lady's Book,
G,aham's Magazine, and other kirdred pub
locations, has induced the subscriber to pre-
sent TO the public a Monthly Magazine,
similar. in its general features, TO the popu-
lar 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 ono
Of the first female writer's Of tho age, aud
particularly distinguished by her graphic
sketches OF manners, and her success in il
Illustrating and correcting fashionable follies.
As the writer Of various books, and a con-
tributor to Goiy's Lady's Book, Graham's
Magazine, and other periodicals of high re-
putation, Mis-. Leslie has lone much to en-
tighten and entertain the public, and in the
Magazine now presented, which bears her
name, she will make her eminent talents
still more availsble for the general good.
Besides a Series Of Nouvellettes, in her own
inimitable style, in which, under cOvor Of
amusement, some beneficial design will be
promoted; she will furnish from her observa-
ton, reading and experience, q successios
of Essays on
HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY,
enhancing general suggestions for the rsgu-
la tion. s3comestic Embellishments. hints and
reflections useful to hon'ekesper', practical
advice, numerou. receipts never before pub
iished, and all other things that may be
made subservient TO the purpose. This de
par'ment Of the Magazine, though no nm
due space will be allotted to it, 10 not TO be
found in any other periodical, and the fub-
i cher j. .ati,hed thsf it will not be lees in
tefesting and vaIuait. than it is novel. As
it is the purpose of the Publisher to make
the Magazine tributary 10 useful design, he
has mad an arrangement with the justly
celebrated 7. s ARTHUR, Esq. BY which
that gentleman will be directly engaged in
a joint superintcndence, and will bssto~ his
best endeavors. Mr.. Arthur will furnish
for each number one a. more of bis
LIFE-LIKE Narratives,
aud such other mattes ss may be sdcpted
to the amusement and improvement Of all
ages and classes. especially Young Ladies,
to whose interests the utsDUs: care will DO
directed.
Believing that n proper taste in dress 10
essential to the true development Of female
grscefulness, . portion of the work will be
devoted 20 an exposition and illustration Of
the
PREVAILING FASHIONS.
This " i'll be stnctls and exclusively under
The care of Miss Leslie, whose severe taste
and ample opportunities Of observation, will
confer upon whatever receives the stamp OF
her appreciation, a high authority. Ts sn.-

and to give the highest possible effect to the
modes selected. he has made an srrange-

hesitate to announce that his

executed in q style of g,eater bnllisncy and
elegance than any which can DO found ID
any other publication.
Miss Leslis's Magazine will, g will be

and il will Contain matter especially cslcu-
lated for Orna uent To the Centre Tshte, in
tefe.ting reading and conversation in tho
Drawing Roc m, and for the Family Fire'ids;
valuable suggestion. in the Hou'sisePer's
Department. aud unerring ill~ustrstions in
the style of Seam.
The Embellishments will be in the drt
style Of the pictorial art. Each number
will contain Two Plates; and ip the course
of the volume there will be presented sever
al iSupcrb Mezrotints. OF the highest possi-
Bile elegance and finish.
Tbe conteEts of Mis-, fL.eslie's Magazine
will be such as to give.it in this respect, q
decided superiority. No mere reverence
for names, will induce the editor TO admit
any article of questionable merit, but every
thing admitted will be judged of BY it's in-
,rinsic worth, and nothing can possibly find
a place which will not be calculated to pro-
mote the Entertainment and edi6cation Of
its readers.
1t will scarcely be credited that's Nigga
zine, such as has been described, can be af-
fordrd at the low rate of one dollar and FIFTY
cents per annum. when but a single copy 10
subscribed for, but, at the rick Of considera-
bic loss, the publisher has determined to
furnish it for that sum being just one half
the price of the other principal Magazines.
Indeed, as will be seen by the subjoined list
OF offers aud premiums, the publisher has edi-
ton 10 repay the large OUTLAWS necessary to
be made.
