DUTNAMS SIONTHLY.-On the first OF
/ July was commenced the second volume OF
Putnam's Monthly. itssuccess, 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 command the lively interest and
substantial support of the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism is a
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, they said at
the commencement of the undertaking, that, "a
popular magazine must amuse, interest, and in
slruct." They have still undated faith in the
oppulence of our own native resources" and they
appeal 10 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 50 90.
The first edition of the June number consists OF
thirty five thousand copies-a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in
Europe.
TERMS: SO per annum; or rs cents number.

London, such arrangement being found neces-
sary, in order TO give his immediate personal atten-
ton to the European business of great Importance
and value, already subject to the direction and
control Of M. N. 81 Co., and to such other business
interests as may be hereafter entrusted to their
care and management.
As guarantee for the mode in which the bust
ness of their foreign Office will be conducted they

ferees, Of Bankers, Merchants, and Gentlemen OF
commanding influence, position, and character in

TCLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,ss.-The

VNCLECIlC MAGAZINE FOX 'S3s-Tlc
ID sphere and the utility Of the EcLEcrlc MAaA-
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, It fills place which could
be filled in no other method than by the principle
of selection which it 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
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 time required to peruse il. To select
from the whole field of Journalism all that is really
valuable, both the graver 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
the local or feeble parts of any. The main portion
of the EcLEcTlc 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 te-
nature, art or craftsmanship These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIS, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style Of the mezzotlnt.
TERMs-The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the
first OF every month, in numbers of Ia large Svo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
a year, with title pages and indexes Price SIS per
year, if paid strictly in advance-otherwise So.
