" of the so .called Ladies Magazines.
The Illustrations will consist of Original
Drawings engraved on wood by the best
Artists.

and Tie,cs Of remarkable places,
Illustrated by pen and pencil. A stIct
revision will be exercised that no lmprop-

side for the amusement or instruction OF
the family circle.
The Review department Of the Maya
zine will contain brief critical notices OF
