4 T the conclusion of the first half year of the
IA Union Magazine, the Publisher feels impell-
ed TO make some acknowledgment of his sense
Of the favorable reception accorded to il by the
public. Itssuccess has certainly been unprece-
dented; and while it may be pardonable to as
crbe this in part TO the merits of the work, it
must not be denied that public goodwill and
kindness have been abundanty 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 touml rather to have stimulated than
s!ackened his exertions. If there be talent of a
suitable kind in the country, he is determined to
make it 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, M. Os-
borne, Robert Hinshelwood, W. S. Barnard,
B. F. Chills, P. LOOMS. Sc, from original de-
signs by T. H. Matteson, who has the sole di-
rec;it of all the designs for the engravings.
The literary matter will continue to be under
the exclusive control of the Editor, Mrs. c. NJ
Kirkland, assisted by corps of contributors
who are either established favorites Of the read
in" public or worthy to become so. Such as
