NJ importing Improvements, which, 1t is

of All classes OF reading people ia thc Re

amusing; and free alike from the grossness
which charactelZes much of the cheap
literature Of tie day, ana from the vapldI-
~ Of the so called " Ladies Magazines.

all tie new publications. of the day, and
viii firm complete chronicle Of current

From the business and literary connnc-
ions already established, the best assist
ance that tie country can afford viii be
secured for completing the plans of the
publisher. and nothing will be wanting
tina; ample pccuniary resources and watch
lul industry can obtain to make the Mag
azine tie " Leading Literary Periodical OF
America"
The extremely low rate at which it is
published precIudes 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 fearIessIy
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 it from the
beginning.
The " Pulpit Portraits" series Of BIZ
ographicai Sketches, accompanied by well
engraved portraits of Eminent Divines Of

of peculiar value to religious people of el-
cry denomination.
