HARPER,s NEW MONTHLY MAGA-

I'LL zine has now reached a monthly edition of
over One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand
copies, and the demand for il is still increasing
with greater rapidly than ever. This unpara-
eled and unexpected success has compelled the
publishers to resort to extraordinary means for
printing the work with the requisite rapidity and
al the same time preserving the typographical cle-
gance by which it has always been distinguished.
1t is now eiectrotyped by new process, which
makes il easy to print any number of copies from
the same plates, without in the least impairing the
clearness and beauty of the impression. The
publishers desire TO repeat their cordial acknowl-
edgments TO the press and the public for the ex-
traordnary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
of the American people, and TO renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
to increase still further the claims Of their maya
zine upon public favor and support. Ii will con-
time to present, at the cheapest price, the most
interesting and instructive literary matter, original
and selected domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, and accompaniedby
the finest pictorial illustrations which lavish
penditure of money can command. They appeal
with confidence to the past, guarantee that
their promises for tho future will be abundantly
fulfilled.

booksellers, periodical agents. or from the pub
fishers, at three dollars year, or twenty-five

TCLECTTC MAGAZINE FOR ,53.-The

Il ~
LIZ sphere and tile utility of the EcLEcrIc MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined TO require ex-
PLANTATION. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying want which is widely and increas-
ngly felt by a more educated and intelligent por-
ton Of the community it fills place which could
be filed in no other method than by the principle
of selection which il adopts The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds Of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
selves, are too numerous to be reprinted, as well
too costly TO be imported by the general reader.
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles that has but temporary or local interest
and which is worth 10 the American reader neither
the price nor time required TO pcruse it, To select
from the whole field of journalism all that is really
valuable both the gravcr dissertations and discus
siens of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur-
pose of the ECLECTIC. The best parts of all are
thus secured, without the cost or incumbrance OF
the local or feeble parts Of any. The main portion
of the ECLECTIC will continue TO be composed OF
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain,
will be carefully presented A richer and more
valuable aggregate win thus be furnished than the
contents OF any single periodical could afford.
Embellishments of the highest order Of subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits Of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
nature, art or craftsmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr. SARTAIN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the meZzotint.
TERMs-The EcLectic Margarine is issued on the
first OF every month, in numbers of 14i large Svo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
