The Publisher is pleased TO annouce that ow-
ing to the extraordinary favor with which his Mag
azine has been received by appreciative public,
he has resolved to extend his arrangements with
the best American Authors, and has accordingly
contracted with one Of our most popular .Nopel'
lists for series of Sketches illust alive OF Lite IN
tn. Metropolis, entitled /" Familiar Places and Fa-
uiiiar Faces about Gotham" This feature must
prove exceedingly attractive, especially to country
readers, whose facilities for studying City Lille and
Manners are somewhat limited. Each sketch VIII
be "a plain unvarnshed tale," in which he will
"nothing extenuate or aught set down in malice, u
but endeavor to portray with hdehty the various
phases of life in Town.
Since the issue OF the January number, the Pub
fishers has received proposals from well known
English author, whose opportunities for observa'
ton in the most distinguished Society in London
and vicinity are unsurpassed by any OF his cotem'
poraries, and has concluded an arrangement with
him by which the pages of Holden's Dollar Maya
zine will be monthly enriched by full detail OF al
the remarkable events of the month, as occurring
in England. His statements may be strictly relied
upon for accuracy, and many new and startling to
pics Of correspondence, will be commented upon al
they deserve.
Being fortunate enough to secure the services
of one of the most eminent critics, the department
of Rrpie,cs will be made feature seldom seen in
any Periodical In the U0rld. Books will be i'm
partially reviewed at length, if deserving partcu-
lar attention, and those desiring record Of the do
ings OF the literary world would do well to exam.
inc this department. Casting aside the old plan Of
depending solely on names for success, the Pub
Usher of Holdens Magazine has adopted the sys-
TEN of the Spectator of Johnson's and Addson's
time, and Blackwood and our own Quarterlies OF
the present day; and though confessing himself in
debted to some Of our first authors for their con-
tributions to each number, he has given every ar
tice to the world anonymously. The Spectator
owed much of its success to the mystery in which
its ESSAYS were shrouded, and could the world but
know whence emanated some of the scorching ar
ticlss furnished us by Blackwood within the past
few months, New York would probably be the
scene OF another Literary War. The proprietor
is confident: that this plan must eventually be the
plan for Periodical Literature, and he only asks
from the lovers OF Good Reading an inspection Of
his Magazine. ar..t.... .-..
