The Philadelphia magazines for January.
The present issue of these popular monthhes
exhibits spirit of literary enterprise on the part
of their publishers which cannot fail to meet with
large return of appreciation from the host OF
magazine readers. The care bestowed upon their
illustrations, and the high character of their con
tente, show audabe rivalry for public favor and
determination to make the respective publica-
tons still more worthy OF the distinguished patron
age which they have received. Each of them is
sustained by the contributions of many OF the best
American writers, and in some sense may be re-
garded as true exponent OF the current htera-
ture of this country. The high moral tone and the
general good taste of the articles which has char
acterized these magazines from the commence.
ment, admirably adapt them for popular reading,
and must secure them cheerful welcome in ey-
cry family. on may subscribe for either or for
all of them, with no fear of getting worthless
book in return for your money.
