4 T the conclusion of The first half year of The
n Union Magazine, the Publisher feels mpel,-
ed to make some acknowledgment of his sense
of The favorable reception accorded TO it by the
public. lis success has certainly been unprece-
tentcd; and while il may be pardonable to as
crlhe this IN part 10 the merits of the work, il
must not be denied that public goodwill and
kindness have been abundautlv denonstrated.-
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
slackeued his exertions. If there be talent of
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, NJ Os-
borne, Robert Hinshelwood, W. S. Barnard,

signs by L. II. Matteson, who has the sole d.
rec'it of all the designs for the engrayings.

the exclusive control of the Editor, Mrs. C. NJ.
kirkland, assisted by corps of contributors
