The great demcnd which has existed for past
year, for Godey's Lady's Book, Graham's Maga-
zine, and other kindred publications, has induced
the subscriber to present to tho public Monthly
Magazine, similar in its general features, to the
popular works referred to, but with some claims
to attention which they do not possess. For this
purpose has secured the aid of Miss Leslie, uni
versally known as one Of the first female writers
OF tho age. and particularly distinguished by her
graphic sketches OF manners, and her success in
illustrating and correcting fashionable folies.
As the writer's Of various books, and con-
trlbutor to Godey's Lady's Book, Graham's Mag.
azine, and other periodicals of high reputation,
Miss Leslie has done much 10 eniighten and en-.
tertain the public, and in the Magazine now pre-
serted, which bears her name, she will make her
eminent talents still more available for the gener
al good. Besides series of Nouyellettes, in her
own inimtable style, in which, under cover of
amusement, some beneficial design will be pro-
NOTED; she will furnish from her observation,
reading and experience, succession Of Essays

keepers, practicable advice, numerous receipts
never before published, and all other things that
may be made subservient to the purpose. This
department of the Magazine, though no undue
space will be allotted to it, is not to be found in
any other Periodical, and the publisher is satisfied
that it will not be less interesting and valuable
than it is novel. AS it is the purpose Of the pub.
Usher to make the Magazine tributary to Useful
Designs, he has made an arrangement with the
justly celebrated T. S. Arthur, Esq. by which
that gentleman will be engaged in joint super.
intendance, and will furnish for each number one
or more of his life-like narratives and such other
matter as may be adapted to the amusement and
improvement of all ages and classes, especially
young Ladies, to whose interest the utmost care

ness portion Of the work will be devoted to an
exposition and illustration of the prevailing FASH
ions. This will be strictly and exclusively under
the care of Miss Leslie, whose severe taste and
ample opportunities OF observation, will confer up
on whatever receives the stamp of her approba-
toE, a high acthorty. To enable her TO select
the newest, latest, and most recherche Fashions,
the publisher has made arrangements, to receive
by the Steamers, the latest of Paris and London,
and to give the highest possible effect to the modes
selected, he has made an engagement with cel-
ebroted Artist, TO compose and modify the groups
SO as to render them highly effective. He does
not hesitate to announce that his Plates. will be
not only more correct, but will be executed in a
style Of greater brilliancy and elegance than any
which can be found in any other publication.

1t will scarcely be credited that Magazine
such as has been described can be afforded at the
low rate of 81 so per anum, when but single
copy is subscribed for but at the risk of consider
able loss, the publisher has determined to furnish
it for that sum, being just enc half the price of
the other principal Magazines. Indeed, as will be
seen by the following list of offers and premiums,
the publisher has resolved on obtaining wide cir.
