ILLUSTRATED DOLLAR MAGAZINE

CINCE the death of the protector OF this
y 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, NeiC 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 in the coun-
try, as it certainly is the cheapest. A.
monr 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 writer's in America. 1t
is the aim Of the Proprietor TO publish a
popular Magazine, adapted TO the wants
of all classes of reading people in the Re-
public, which shall be both instructive and
amusing; and free alike from the grossness
which charactelizes much Of the cheap
literature of the day, and from the vapldl-
" of the so called Z" Ladies' Magazines"
The Illustrations will consist Of Original
Drawings engraved OH wood by the best
Artists.
Portraits Of remarkable persons,
and Jic,cs Of remarkable places,
Illustrated by pen and pencil. A strict
revision will be exercised that no lmprop-
article or word shall ever be admitted, SO
that il may be safely taken by persons OF

side for the amusement or instruction OF
The family circle.
The Review department Of the .daga-
zine will contain brief critical notices OF
Ill the new publications. of the day, and
will form 4 complete chronicle of current
literature.
From tho business and literary conncc-
tons already established, the best assist
Ancc that the country can afford VIII he
secured for completing the plans of the
publisher, and nothing will be wanting
that ample pecuniary resources and watch
ful industry can obtain to make the Mag
azine the Leading Literary Periodical Of
America"
The extremely low rate nj which II IS
published precludes the hope Of profit, cx.
ccpt 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 its literary
and artistic attractions to those of any other
work now issued; the proprietor fearlessly
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 f. BRIGGS,
who has been connected with it from the
beginning.
The /" Pulpit Portraits" series of BIZ
ographical Sketches, accompanied by well
engraved portraits Of Eminent Divines of
the American Churches, which have form
ed conspicuous feature of - Holden
will be continued in the succeeding Vol
umes Of the Magazine, and will render il
of peculiar value To religious people of ev-
cry denomination.
