On the fret day Of April, was commenced new

and type, and is composed Of closely printed matter
amounting To nearly four hundred pages per volume
Each number will be accompanied by very fine
wood cut, illustrating the natural history and Gus
toms Of the month for which each number IS Intend
ed. Each design will be accompanied by both prose
and poetic sketches not only OF the general features
and holiday customs, but likewise OF the agricultural
peculiarities of every month This will be a new
feature, and, il is hoped, will render the MoETHlY
VIsIrrR a peculiarly welcome guest on every farm
er's table The first number Is likewise embelllshcd
with an engraving, representing Shakespeare Tamlug
the Shrew illustrated by story from the pen OF the
late Charles Lamb of the most popular author,
England has ever boosted. This plate and the Illus
trations of the months have never appeared 10 any
other magazine
The quality of the reading matter of the Baltimore
Monthly Visitor, may be inferred from the following
list Of contributors TO which other distinguished names

In the line Of critical notices of new books, de-
| coed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the 4" Phenlx and Budget--and in the way of stories
an important reform has been adopted, which vii
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
| yokingly, from number to number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such .,
may not feel willing to pay the more expensive prices
OF monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unillustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for a SIN
gle copy-fve copies for IS 90. This is giving about
| four pages for one cent
1t IS desirable TO receive orders at once, that we
may know how to regulate our issues
| The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious as are TO extend the usefulness
OF the work as widely as possible.
