periodical literature, is owing to the fostering care

Their imitators fail al,oays in equallng them, for

full performance of all contracts entered into with
subscribers.

determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the
cheapness, elegance and merit of their periodicals
all that has ever been attempted, and the works
are disslmilar, have resolved to place both within

The best and freshest, both in Literature and

The Stereoscopic, or Solid Daguerreotypes.

The effect is really magical. The picture appears
the size of life, and stands out in alto reeUo like
piece of sculpture, rather like the living being.
Specimens of this wonderful art may be at
