WASAkh Fok 'OSs-Ine
IL sphere and the utility OF the EcLEcTIc MAGA-
planation Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying want which is widely and ncreas-
ingly felt by 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 10 be reprinted, as well
as 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 TO the American reader neither
the price nor time required to peruse it. To select
from the whole field Of journalism all that is really
valuable, both the graver dissertations and discus
stems of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents Of the magazines, is the pur-
pose of the EcLEcTc. The best parts of all are
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 will thus he 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 Magazine is issued on The
first OF every month, in numbers of 1iI large Syo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES

MAGAZINE.-This number

N opens the second volume of Grahams Mag
azne for 1888, and we cannot refrain from thank
ing most heartily both the press and cur sub
scrbers for the encouragement afforded US 10
pcrseverc in elevatng the literary and pictorial
character of the work. The last volume embraced
every variety Of Magazine illustration, and has
furnished 10 readers papers Of ability upon all
the topics OF interest which absorb the times and
also series Of articles of pgrey literary char
actcrofa higher order than have heretofore been
found in the monthly Magazines. II shall be our
aim 10 improve Graham still further in these
respects, and by careful attention and enterprise
10 command the public appreciation and support.
The Nec Poirme--commencing with this num-
ber--will claim especial attention for the beauty
of It's pictorial Illustrations. Ample arrangements
have been entered into with competent artists TO
secure a proper variety of the very best OF all
kinds OF engraving-steel mezzotint, and wood
10 meet the expectations of our readers; and the
literary department shall be still further improved
