il July was commenced the second volume OF
Putnami's Monthly. Its succcss, remarkable among
literary undertakings, proves the genuineness OF
the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner in which its pro.
mise has been fulfilled.
To have demonstrated that an original Ameri,
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support of the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism is
success of which the publishersare proud
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, as they said al
the commencement of the undertaking, that, a
popular magazine must amuse, interest, and in
structn They have still undated g faith in the
oppulence of our own native resources and they
appeal TO the experience of the last six months TO
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete, and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price So 90.
The first edition of the June number consists OF
thrty-ive thousand copes--a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in
Europe.
TERMS: 50 per annum; or 25 cents number.

T1cLEcTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,sa.-The


ID sphere and the utility of the EcLEcTIc MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined TO require ex-
plantations. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying want which is widely and increas-
ingly felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton Of the community, it fills place which could
be filled 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 local interest,
and which is worth 10 the American reader neither
the price nortime required to peruse it, To select
from the whole field of journalism all that is really
valuable both the graver dissertations and discus
| sions of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur-
| pose of the EcLEcTIc. The best parts on all are
| thus secured, without the cost incumbrance OF
the local feeble parts of any. The main portion
| Of the EcLEcr1c 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 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.. SARTAIS, who has no superior in
/ the striking and effective style of the mezzotn.
