lished with the most exquisite Mez,otint
and steel plates and splendid celored 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 kindred 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 oil
MISS E LESLIE, universally known as one
of the first female writer's of the age, and
particularly distinguished by her graphic
sketches OF manners, aud her success in il
Illustrating and correcting fashionable follies
! As the writer of various books, and a con-
t.ibutor to Goly's Lady's Book, Graham's
araz zine, and other periodicals Of high re-
pp,oti,n. Miss Leslie has lone much to en-
TIGHTEN and entertain the public, and in the
Masazipe now presented, which bears her
name, she will make her eminent talents
still more available I0r Ire general good
Besides n Series Of Nouvelle;tes, 10 her own
inimitabIe sty lie, ia which, under cover OF
amusement, some beneficial design viii be
promoted she will furnish from her obseISa-
ton, reading and experience, a succession
of Essays on
HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY,
e,nbra cling general suggestions for the regu-
lation Of domestic establishments. hints and
reflections useful to housekeepers, practical
advice, numerous receipts never before pub
lished, and all other things that may be
made subservient TO the purpose. This de
partment of the magazine, though no un-
due space will be allotted to it, is not to be
found in any other periodical, and the Pub
Usher is satisfied that it will not be less in
teresting and valuable than it is novel. As
it is the purpose of the Publisher 10 make
the Magazine tributary to useful design, he
has made an arrangement with the justly
celebrated T. S. ARTHUR, Esq. by which
that gentleman will be directly engaged in
a Joint superintendence, and will hestow his
best endeavors, Mr.. Arthur viii furnish
for each number one or more of bis
LIFE-LIKE Narratives,
and such other matter as may be adopted
to the amusement and Improvement Of all
ages and classes, especially Young Ladies,
to whose interests the utmost care will be
directed.
Believing TINT n proper taste in dress is
essential to the true development of female
graccfulness, a portion of the work will be
devoted 20 an exposition and illustration of
the
PREVAILING FASHIONS.
This will be .tnctlv 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 approbrtion, a high authority. To ena-
BILE her TO select the newest, --latest, and
most recherche fashions, the publisher has
made arrangements to receive, by the Stea-
mors, the latest issues Of Paris aud London.
and to give the highest possible effect to the
modes selected, he has made an arrange
ment with a celebrated Artist, to compose
and modify the group, so as to render them
highly effective. He therefore does not
hesitate TO announce that his
FASHION PLATES,
will be not only more correctly, bnt will be
executed in a style Of greater brilliancy and
elegance than any which can be found in
any other publication.
Miss Leslie's Magazine will, as will be
perceived from what has been stated, be en-
p~hatically,
A HOME BOOK,
and it will contain matter especially calcu-
lated for Ornament TO the Centre Table, in
tefesting reading and conversation in the
Drawing Room, and for the Family Fireside ;
valuable suggestions in the Househeerer's
Department, and u%nerring illustrations in
the style of Dream.
The embellishments will be in the first
style Of the pictorial art. Each number
will contain Two Plates; and in the course
Of the volume there will be presented sever
al Superb Mezzotints. of the highest posi-
bic elegance and finish.
The contents of Miss Leslie's Magazine
will be sncb as TO give it, in this respect, e
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 its in
%trinsic worth, and nothing can possibly find
n place which will not be calculated 10 pro-
mote the entertainment and ediEcatiun OF
its readers.
1t will scarcely be credited hat n Maya
zine, such as has been described, can be af
forded at the low rate Of one dollar and fifty
cents per annum. when but n single copy is
subscribed for, but, at the risk of considera-
BILE loss, the publisher has determined to
furnish it for that sum- being just one hall
the price Of the other principal Magazines.
Indeed, as will be seen by the suoyoined list
Of offers aud premiums, the publisher has edi-
ton to repay the large outlay, necessary to
be made.
