FAsHIoNs.-Experience has fully satisfied us, that the
Literary periodicals as now published. cannot give au
thentic plates of fashion. In no case is the Paris or
London fashions published by the Magazines in this
country earlier than two months from the time other
PRONUNCIATION abroad. The reason is, that it requires
TWO weeks for the steamer to bring the fashions to this
country from London, and at least four Yeekst9 Rl-

And as the Magazines are all bound upfwo weeksfn
advance ofthe first day of the month. for which they
are published, it is plain that the fashions they contain
are two months behind the London, and still longer be-
hind the Paris styles.
Six months experience as publishers, has opened our
Ieyes to this matter; and nothing but our promise to do

through the last volume. Now honesty compeHs us
to throw them aside; and we do so without a moments
hesitation. In commencing the publication of this
work, it was the express agreement among the parties
concerned, that all mere pretension and humbng should
be studiously avoiled,-that above all things, no false
statements should be made in prospectuses and adVer-
tisements, True to this principle Of action, we cast a.
side the pretended fashion plates, as soon as we can do
so, without violatinga promise ignorantly made. At
best, the union between literature and fashion is an un-
natural one; and certainly the office of men-miliners
has not been found by us the most dignifed and agree
able,
In order, however, to crafty those of our lady rea-
deTs who live remote from large cities, we shall proba-
bly, give every three or four monthsa plate showing
what changes have occurred i'll the modes ofdress- and
this is abont as often as any material changes do occur.
Monthly plates of fashion are at best an absurdity. In
these, we shall not pretend to give London and Paris
fashions, except as they existed two months prior to the
issue fthe number off cur 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 acknowledgements, and
upon the literary portion of our work thus giving it an
intrinsic and permanent excellence.
TERMS-Two DOLLARS per annum in advance.
FIVE DOLLARS for three copies. Ten DOLLARS for seven
copies. Various appropriate premiums are given to all
who procure for us single subscribers, or make up clubs
and transmit us the money.
