NEW MONTHLY MAGA-

j zine has now reached monthly edition of
over One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand
copies, and the demand for it is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever This unpara-
leled and unexpected success has compelled the
publishers to resort TO extraordinary means for
printing the work with the requisite rapidity, and
at the same time preserving the typographical ele
gance by which il has always been distinguished.
Ii is now eectrotyped by new process, which
makes il easy to print any number of copies from
the same plates, without in the least mpairng the
cIearness and beauty of the impression. The
publishers desire to repeat their cordial acknowl-
edgments to the press and the public for the ex-
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts TO interest and instruct the great body
Of the American people, and TO renew their
surances that every possible effort will be made
to increase still further the claims of their maya
zine upon public favor and support. 1t will con-
tinue 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 the future will be abundantly
fulfilled.

MAGAZINE FOR 'sa.-The

ECLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR 'S3.-The
IL sphere and the utility Of the EcLEcTIc 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-
ingly felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, il 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, 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 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
sions 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 EcIEcTIc 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. 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, craftsmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTArN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
TERMs.-Thc Eclectic Magazine is issued on the
first OF every month"; in numbers of IA large Svo
pages each, on fine paper making THREE VOLUMES
