vancing demands of the public taste. II has ever
been the object Of the publisher TO take the lead
among the popular Magazines Of this country; and
the host of imitators, who have been constantly
following-"toiing after him in vainN-are sum
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests ID
adopted by others, is sufficient for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises OF
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay ont
plans for others to follow II is sufficient, however

ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
