4 T The conclusion of the first half year of the
"A Union Magazine, the Publisher feels impell-
ed TO make some acknowledgment of his sense
of the favorable reception accorded to it by the
public. It's success has celt ainly been unprece-
denied; and while it may be paFdonable TO as
crbe this in part to the merits of the work. it
must no, be denied that public goodwill and
kindness have been abundantly demonstrated
The press, in all parts Of the country, has given
its voice literally in favor of the new aspirant.
To flag after this, would be dishonorable in
deed. 1t is the hope of the publisher that the
courage and enterprise which belong to success
will be found rather to have stimulated than
slackened his eXertons. If there be talent of a
suitable kind in the country, he is determined to
make il available to the Union Magazine in the
various departments. He will continue TO give
superior engravings in Mezzotint, Lire and
Wood, by II. S. Sadd, Thomas Cooley. NJ. Os-
borne, Robert Hinshelwood W. S. Barnard,
b. F. Childs, P. LOOMS. &C., from original de-
signs by T. H. Matteson, who has the sole di-
rec'it Of all the designs for the engravings.

the exclusive control of the Editor, Mrs c. M.
