Although these works are distinguished by the

them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals ofther class.
Blacktuood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and literary notables,
written for that magazine, and FIRST appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, Il" "The Green Hand" and other serials,
OF which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood, after Il has been issued by hessrs Scot
& Co, so that subscribers to the reprint OF that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.

lied to success than yourself

Implement makers and Mechanics Of The United States
make il a matter of pride to display your MACH
