ONCE the death of the protector Of this
ID popular Magazine, the property has
passed into the hands of the subscriber,
who will continue to publish it at the pub
LEGATION Office,
No. 100 Nassau Street, Ne,C York.
The new volume to be commenced on the
first Of January, 1850, will comprise ma
nv important improvements, which, 1t Is
believed, will render the Magazine one OF
the best Periodicals published i'll the coun-
try, as it certainly is the cheapest. A
mong these Improvements will be new
and beautiful type, fine calendered paper,
a higher order of Illustrations than those
heretofore given, and contributions from
some of the ablest writers i'll America. 1t
is the aim of the Proprietor TO publish
popular Magazine, adapted TO the wants
of all classes of reading people III the ke-
public. which shall be both instructive and
amusing; and free alike from the grossness
which charactelizcs much Of the cheap
literature of In day, and from the vapldl-
ly of the 50 called " Ladies' Magazines.
The Illustrations Will consist of Original
Drawings engraved on wood by the best
Artists.
Portraits Of remarkable persons,
and Iie1oS Of remarkable places,
illustrated by pen and pencil. A strict
revision will be exercised that 10 improp-
article or word shall ever be admitted, so
that it may be safely taken by persons OF
the utmost refinement, and read at the IRE
side for the amusement or instruction OF
the family circle.
The Review department of the Maya
zine will contain brief critical notices OF
all the new publications Of the day, and
Will form a complete chronicle Of current
literature.
From the business and literary connec-
tons already established, the best assist
ance that the country can afford will be
secured for completing the plans of the
publisher, and nothing viii be wanting
that ample pccuniary resources and watch
full industry can obtain to make The Mag
azine the g Leading Literary Periodical Of
America"
The extremely low rate at which il is
published precludes the hope Of profit, eX-
cept from a circulation greater than that
which any literary periodical has ever yet
attained but, with the new avenues daily
opening for the circulation of works Of
merit; the constantly increasing population
of the country; the cheapness of the Mag
azine, and the superiority Of It's literary
and artistic attractions to those Of any other
work now issued; the proprietor learIessly
engages in an enterprise which will be
sure to benefit the public if it should not
enrich himself. The Magazine will be
under the Editorial charge and supervision
of CHARLES +. BRIGGS,
who has been connected with II from the
beginning.
The . Pulpit Portraits" series Of BIZ
ographical Sketches, accompanied by well
engraved portraits Of Eminent Diylnes OF
the American Churches, which have form
ed conspicuous feature Of - Holden.
will be continued in the succeeding Vol
umes of the Magazine, and viii render it
of peculiar value to religious people OF e'-
cry denomination.
