se,hc teraryicaturcs OF the Three Dollar Magazines
of this country and the Five Dollar ones OF Europe ex-
plains the reasons OF such reception by the public
No publication in the world ever gave one halt the
amount OF reading matter contained in Hodcn's
Dollar Magazine for the money, and "thc names
OF the Editors and Contributors" as one OF
popular critics Justly remarks ARE sufficient guaran-
tee Tor the quality OF the contributions
One OF the principal features OF llolden's Dollar
Magazine will bc series OF revolutionary Sketches,
By an Ocioq' E'tian i;di,ed sy oi the Gel
cbrated authOs, who's skill, IN depicting the remarka
bic incidents OF the times that tried mems souls, is
well known by every one. The incidents of these
sketches are all based upon the OF real life
and while depicting the trials and troubles OF those
dangerous times with the cxuberant fancy of Cooper
and Lever, he has still adhered strictly to the fidelity
and yigor of Gbbon and Hume. These Sketches are
alone worth double the pIce OF the Magazine and
peculiar to lis pages alone.
In addition to this, Tales, Sketches, Essays and
TRANSACTIONS, from the pens OF some of our first Au
that must be acceptable and welcome to all.
Each number will contain a long and thorough re.
view ottle principal topics ct the month, lnerspersed
with anecdotes oddities and gossip upon various sub
lecls which cannot fail OF proving Instructive well
amusing, feature alone worth more than the sub
scription prlce-ths will be served up mouthlg DO ane
OF the best humorous authors ot the day whose various
productions are well and ayoby known on both sides
OF the Atlantic
Being fortunate enough to secure the service of
one OF the most eminent critics this side OF the Allan
tic, the department OF reretrs will be made feature
seldom seen III any periodical in Tie rorid. Books
will be imparally reviewed at length, il deserving OF
particular attention, and those desiring record OF the
Literary World would do well to examine this depart
ment. Casting aside the old plan OF depending solely
on names for success the Publisher OF Iodcus Dollar
Magazine has adopted the system OF the Spectator Of
Johnsous and Addison- time and BlachwOod and our
Quarterlcs OF the present day and though con-
Tossing himself indebted To some OF our first authors TOR
their contributions to each number, he has given every
article to the world anonymously. The Spectator
owed much OF its success TO the mystery in winch ITS
essays shrouded, and could the world but know
from whence emanated some o the scoTching articles
furnished Us by ackwood within the past few months,
New orll would probably be the scene OF another LIT
erdry Var The proprietor Is coniidtnt That TINS pan
must eventually be Tie plan for Periodical Literature,
and he only asks from the lovers OF GOOD heddMS an
inspection OF his Magazine.
Arrangements have becn made with most OF our
popular authors Tor Tales Poems and Sketches, and va
rous transactions from the German have now been
commenced by one OF our rst German scholars, whose
vivid rendition oil Legendary Is Wen KNOWN
throughout the world One OF our most popular Poets,
whose reputation upon his 'corks than his
name, will also furnish original Poems Throughout the
volume.
In the course of the volume, articles will also be Civ
from the pens OF nearly all the following European
aulhofs, viz: Douglass Ierrold Gilbert Abbott A.
Beckett, Good Twin liannby, il'am Hewitt $. c. Hall

i Mnt,h rmr9'pl aHle,, Aired Tcnnyson Ebcnezer
cIcs from Mary Hewitt, Mis- $, c. Hall, Hon Mrs.
Norton, Harriet Narlinea., and many others pre-
sent space will not allow rs To specify.
TRANSACTIONS of some OF the minor Tales of Eugene
| Sue, Alexandra Dumas, George Sand, &c, will be
given, ii free from the pemcious influences OF many
French Tales, and Pdriitai care Will be taken that
nothing dcmoralizng in its tone ever finds place in
the Doiiar Mdgasme.
The Publisher pledges himself to furnish articles
from all the above distinguished Authors in the course
OF the volume together with many distinguished Amer
ican Names he is not at liberty TO disclose. The plan
he has adopted OF publishing every article anonymous
y will OF course preclude him from attaching TO each
contribution the name OF lis author. This system he
is confident will be stamped with the appreciation OF
the American People, to win whose applause and con-
iidence will be the continued effort OF his life
