THE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and ac-

zines, render long Descriptions and elaborate pub.
cry unnecessary. They are known and read in
every corner of our country, and are as household
words in the mouths Of those who pretend to judg-
ment in Literature or taste in Art. The pens Of
our most accomplished writers, as we'll as the bu
rims OF the ablest artists enlisted to enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravngs in the world Of
periodical literature, is owing to the fostering care
and lavish expense of these two prominent Anne
Tican periodicals. >.
Their fmitaiers foil aitoays in equaliing them, for
want OF public support, and the poor dupes who
which spring up every year to delude the public,
with promises OF wind and words of sound, find
that these toe estabi,shed works are yet, the only
reliable sources to which they can look for faith

The publishers Of Godey and of Graham have
determined that for 1888 they will surpass in the

all that has ever been attempted and as the works
are dissimilar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapidly improving PERIODICAL lite

PUTNAM'S MONTHLY.

E'HE SUBSCRIBERS, responding to the re-
/ peatcd and urgently expressed wish Of emf
nent and judicious persons in various sections OF
the country, have decided to commence, on the
first Of January. 1853, AN ENTIRELY ORlGI-
NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title.
1t is intended to combine the lighter character
istics of popular magazine with the hi CHER and
graver qualities of q quarterly review, filling
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature!
10 thus obtained there will be attempt to secure
substan tial EXCELLENCE in each department
To accomplish this we intend that the work in
all its mechanical and business aspects shall be
such as will meet the views Of our most dstin-
guished writers-suoh a medium as they would
seek for in communicating with the world, and
such may tempt some to write ably and prohta-
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to pcriodi-
calls.
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work ehall be literally paid for
We believe that ample material exists for
such work; that there is no lack either OF talent
among our writer's or of appreciation the part of
the reading public; and that properly conducted
periodical of this kind may bring to light much
true genius as yet undcveloped.
"Putnam's Monthly will be devoted TO the in
teress Of literature Science and Arl-in their best
and pleasantest aspects.
Entirely independent of a II merely selfish in
erests, or partisan or sectional lcanings, IN Its
management. it will be open to competent writer's
for free discussion of such topics as are deemed i'm
portant and of public interest.
The critical department will be wholly indepen,..
personal influence or bias. Wholesome cal igations
Of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
fear or favor.
An elevated national tone and spirit, American
and independent, yet discriminating and just,
both to the literature and to the social condition
and prospects of both hemisphercs, wi be cult
waited as leading principle of the work.
Special attention will be given to matters con-
nccted with social policy, municipal regulations,
public health and safety and the practical econo-
mics of every day life.
While q subject needs illustration, or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
given; but it is not expected that the success of tho
work is TO depend on what are termed "embellish-
ments."
The following, among many Others have cx-
pressed their hearty approval Of the plan, and will
all give it their general cooperation, while nearly
