NEW ARRANGEMENT.
THE BOSTON NOTION!

crafty the numerous readers and SUBSCRIBERS 10
the BusToN NORTON, has much pleasure in an.
nouncng that in order TO meet the increasing lit
erary wants of this enlightened community, ar
engagements have been made with that popular and
distinguished writer
LOUIS FITZGERALD TAsIsTRo,
who, on the 10Th inst, will assume the exclusive
Editorshp and control of the Notion, which will
henceforth be
DISTINCT LITERARY PUBLICATION,
original in its character, independent in its course.
and all comprehensive in ats uiepS.
The DIRECT and FREQUENT intercourse between
Boston and every part of Europe, has within the
last two years, not only given a new impulse TO
every branch of commerce, but so enlarged the
dominion of literature and science, that our city,
whether we look TO the multiplicity Of her richly
endowed institutions for the diffusion Of know-
edge, to the increasing tendency for learned in
vestigation, manifested daily by her people
may very properly be looked upon, as the head
quarters of INTELLIGENCE and LITERARY REFINE
MENT. Impressed with full conviction of the
important revolution that was taking place in the
world of mind around lhem the publisher of the
Boston Notion has long felt that in order TO keep
pace with this great march Of improvement, some
sort of reorganization in the editorial department
was wanted, and the present announcement, is but
THE FIRST RESULT Of extensive regulations which
have long been pending, and which when compile
ted, will render the Boston Notion, the MOST USE
Full, the MOST VARIED, and the MOST COMPREHENSIVE
literary publication that ever was issued in this or
any other country.
One of the most striking features of the Boston
Notion has hitherto BEEN the purely original char
acter of its seiectons for, while it has never been
beyond hand OF its New York contemporaries in
presenting to the world whatever is newest and
most valuable in its productions Of mind in both
- has al, rof,, cole
such matter, which from its intrinsic value, is but
too frequently spurned by those who in admins
tering to the literary wants of people, seek only
TO satisfy the cravings of whatever is vtiated and
spurious in public taste.
This character of ORIGINALITY will therefore be
continued, not only in the above mentioned depart
ment of the NORTON, but it will be extended to the
editorial columns, which in future will present an
UNAPPROACHABLE VARIETY Of critical essays on
local and populars sub lects,-ful reports of what
ever is most important in the moral, literary, and
scientific developments of the age--fearless and
independent structures on the drama, with pro.
portonate admixture Of entertaining sketches and
miscel aneous reading.
New arrangements have been made with several
publishing houses in London, for an early supply
of all new publications, which will be issued on
the arrival Of every steamer. Correspondents from
all parts of Europe have been engaged to furnish
from time to time, graphic sketches OF society,
diaries Of travels and familir epistles, embracing
criticisms on every topic that can be conducive to
the advancement Of science, or the interest of lit
erature. Engagements have also been entered
into with a publishing house in Paris, which has
undertaken to supply the publisher of the NORTON
with the latsst productions of the best French,
German, and Italian writers; these will be TRANS.
LATED EXCLUSIVELY for the NORTON by the editor,
who brings to the task qualities and endowments,
possessed by no other man in the United States.
Our agents in the different cities and towns of
the Union, will see from the above announcement,
the propriety of making every exertOn to extend
the circulation and sale Of the Notion.
