sary, in announcing this fact 10 enter into on elab-
TO present TO the favor Of the American reading pub
lie. The work IL thoroughly known and widely
patronized throughout the Uuited States, and has
many readers in other countries. 1t has always
embodied original communications from the first
writer's of America, with those of others of our
countfymen less known 10 fame, certainly, but
who have also established in its pages wide and
enviable literary reputation. Its list OF more than
a hHpdreT contributors, including several eminent
writer's from abroad, is wholly unequalled by any
native periodical What American Magazine Cor

MIR Irving had an average of three articles in the
different departments of each number OF the work

of Freedom, an Evening ReveIe, etc; wheth-
or Professor Longlelow has ever exceeded his sew
eral beautiful Psalms Of Life his Saga Of the

Letters from Palmyra, and Letters from Rome !;
