| TINE great demand which has existed for the
Il past year for Godey's Lady's Book, Glaham's
Magazine, and other kindred publications, has
induced the subscriber 10 present TO the public
Monthly Magazine similar, in its general features,
to the popular works referred to, but with some
CLAIMS TO ATTENTION which they do not pos
sess. For this purpose he has secured the aid of
MISS E. LESLIE,
universally known as one of the first female
ocriterS ot'the age, and particularly distinguished
by her graphic sketches of manners, and her sue
cess in illustrating and correcting fashionable fol-
lies.
! As the writer of various books and contribu-
tor to Godey's Lady's Book, Graham's Magazine,
and other periodicals of high reputation, Miss
Leslie has done much to enllghten and entertain
the public, and in the Magazine now presented
which bears her name, she will make her eminent
talents still more available for the general good.

promoted, she will furnish from her observation,
| reading and experience, succession Of Essays Oh
! household Economy, embracing general sugges
lions for the regulation of domestic Establishments
! hints and reflections useful to howSeheepers,
practical advice, numerous receipts never before
! published, and all other things that may be made
| subservlent to the purpose. This department of
the Magazine, though no undue space will be
allotted to it, is not to be ,f0lald in ann 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 Publisher to make
the Magazine tributary to useful designs, he has
made an arrangement with the justly celebrated
T.. ARTHUR, Esq,
| by which that gentleman will be directly engaged
| in joint superintendent, and will beslOW his
best endeavors. Nh Arthur will furnish for each
! number one or more Of his Htciike narratives,
and such other matter as may be adapted to the
amusement and improvement Of all ages * classes,
especially Young LadieS, to whose interests the
utmost care will be directed
Believing that proper taste In dress is essen
tial TO the true development Of female graceful
ness, potion OF the work Will be devoted 10 ali
exposition and Illustration of the
PREVaILLNG FASHIONS.
This will be strictly and exclusively under the
care OF Miss Leslie, whose severe taste and am
pie opportunities OF observation will confer upon
whatever receives the stamp OF her appreciation,
high authority. To enable her to select the
NeaceSt, Latest, and most Recherche Fashions,
the Publisher has made arrangements to receive,
By the Steamers, the latest issues Of Paris and
London; and to give the highest possible effect
to the Nodes selected, he has made an arrange
ment with a celebrated Artist to compose and
modify the groups so as to render them highly
effective. He therefore does not hesitate TO AN
nounce that his
FASHION PLATES
will be not only more correct, but will be execut-
ed in style OF greater Gritiiaaey and elegance
than any which can be found in any other public
alton.
Miss Leslie's Magazine will, as will be per-
ceved from what has been stated, be emphatically

and it will contain matter especially calculated for
Ornament to the Centre Table, interesting read
ing and conversation in the Drawing Room, and

the Househeeper'S Department, and unerling
illustrations in the style of Dress.

the pictorial art. Each number will contain
TWO LP-1AzE1NS9
and in the course of the volume there will |
presented several Superb .NczzotintS, of the high
est possible elegance and finish.
The contents of Miss Leslie's Magazine will
be such as to give it, in this respect, a decided
No mere reverence for names will
induce the Editors to admit any article Of ques-
tionable merit, but everything admitted VIII be
judged OF by its intrinsic worth, and nothing can
possibly find place which will not be calculated
TO promote the entertainment and ediic0ton of
lis readers.
1t will scarcely be credited that Magazine,
such as has been described, can be afforded at the
low rate OF 3 L so PER ANNUM,
when but a single copy is subscribed for, but, at
the risk of considerable loss, the Publisher has
determined to furnish it for that sum, being just
one half the price of the other principal Maya
zines. Indeed, as will be seen by the subioined
list of superior offers, the Publisher has resolved
upon obtaining wide. circulation for this public
alton, as it will require an immense edition to
repay the large OUTLAWS necessary to be made,
