Der, besides one or more finely engraved Wood cuts
FAsmoNs.-Expolience has fully satisfied us, that the
Literary periodicals. as now published, cannot give au.
thentic plates Of fashion. In no case is the Paris OF
London fashions published by the Magazines in tli:
country earlier than two months from the time oftheil
PRONUNCIATION abroad. The reason is, that it requires
TWO weeks for the steamer to bring the fashions to this
county from London, and at least four weeks to en-.
grave, print, and color them. Here are ssx weeks.
And as the Magazines are all bound up two weeks in
advance ofthe first day of the month, for which they
arc published, it is plain that the fashions they contain
are two months behind the London, and still longer be-
hind tile Paris styles.
Six months experience as publishers, has opened our
eyes to this matter; and nothing but our promise to do
so could have induced us to continue the fashions plates
through the last volume. Now honesty compeils us
to throw them aside; and we do so withouta moments
hesitation. In commencing the publication of this
work, 1t was the express agreement among the parties
concerned, that all mere pretension and humbng should
be studiously aVOifed that above all things, no false
statements should be made in prospectuses and ad YER
tseinonts. True to this principle OF action, we cast a.
side the pretended fashion plates, as soon as we can do
SO, without violating a promise ignorantly made. At
best, the union between literature and fashion is an I'M
natural one; and certainly the office of men-millfners
has not been lound by us the most digni6ed and agree
able.
In order, however, to crafty those of our lady rea-
ders who live remote from large cities, we shall proba-
bly, give every three or four montlsa plate showing
what changes have occurredin the modes of dress-and
this is about as often as any material changes do occur,
Monthly plates Of fashion are at best an absurdity. In
these, WI shall not pretend to give London and Paris
issue fthe number ofCur Magazine containing the plate.
Instead of wasting time and money on such matters,
we will devote more attention, and expend more judi
ciously our means in higher order Embellishments and
upon the literary portion of our work thus giving it an
intrinsic and permanent excellence.
