Miss Leslie's Magazine,
The Home Book of Literature, Fashion and
Domestic Economy.

Author of "Mr. Washington Potts." &C.,
and 7. S. ARTHUR, Author of 'Six Nights
With the Washingtonians," &c. Embel-
lishcd with the most exquisite Mczrotint
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 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 f LESLIE, universally known as one
of the first female writers Of the age, and
particularly distinguished by her graphic
sketches of rfsnnefs, and her success in il.
lnstrating and correcting fashionable %follies.
As the writer of various books, and n con-
tributor TO Goly's Lady's Book, Graham's
Magazine, and other periodicals of high re-
putation, Miss 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
sum "oiC "F u EtbtIdl SDOH--
Besides a Series of Nouvellettes, ia her own
inimitablc style, in which. under cover o.
amusement, some beneficial design will te
promoted she will furnish from her observa-
ton, reading and experience, a succession
of Essays on
HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY,
embracing general suggestions for the regu-
lafion pf HompStIc fahtichpa ,fc k;,t, .,l
useful to housekecpers, practical
advice, numerous receipts never before pub
lisbed, and all other things that may he
made subservient to the purpose. This de
partment Of the Magazine, though no I'M
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.
terestiDg and valuable than it is novel. As
it is the purpose of the Publisher TO make
the Magazine tributary to useful design, he
has made an arrangement with the Justly
celebrated 7. S. ARTHUR, Esq. BY which
that gentleman will be directly engaged in
best endeavors, Mr.. Arthur will furnish
for each number one or more of his
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 that n proper taste in dress is
to the true development of female
gracefulness, a portion Of the work will be
20 an exposition and illustration Of
The
PREVAILING FASHIONS.
This will be strictly and exclusively under
he care OF Miss Leslie, whose severe taste
aud ample opportunities of observation, will
upon whatever receives the stamp Of
her appreciation, a high authority. To ena.
1lesher 10 select the newest, --latest. and
most recherche fashions, the publisher has
made arrangements to receive, by the Stea-
Dors, the latest Issues of Paris aud London.
md to give the highest possible effect to the
nodes selected, he has made an arrange
nent with n celebrated Artist, to compose
nd modify the group, So as to render them
tightly effective. He therefore does not
lesitate TO announce that his
FASHION PLATES,
viii be not only more correctly, but will he
xecuted in a style of g.eater buIIiancy and
than any which can be found in
ny other publication.
Miss Leslie's Magazine will, as will be
from what has been stated, be EN-.
hatically,

,ted for Ornament to the Centre Table, in
reading and conversation in the
Room, and for tue Family Preside;

f the volume there will be presented sever. !

lie elegance and finish. :.
Tbs contents Of Miss Leslie's Magazine u
I'll be such as to give it, IN this respect, a '
ecided superiority. No mere reverence n
u names, will induce the editor to admit o
~ article Of questionable merit, but every
ing admitted will be judged Of by its in.
insic worth, and nothing can possibly find
place which will not be calculated to pro- 4
o'c tue entertainment and edIncatiun of
5 readers. a
1t will scarcely be credited that a Maya Ii
ne, such as has been described, can be af e
rded at the low rate of one dollar and ffty e.
nts per aunum. when but a single copy is u
bscnbed for, but, at the risk of considera. r.
. loss, the publisher has determined to r
rnish 1t for that sum, being Just one half !
price of the other principal Magazines. u
deed, as will be seen by the suoJoined list "
offers and premiums, the publisher has cdi. OF
IN to repay the large outlay. necessary to II
made.
