gance by which it has always been distinguished.
| II is now eetrofyped by new process, which
makes II easy to print any number of copies from

clearness and beauty of the impression. The
publishers desire to repeat their cordial acknow-
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 as
snrances 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, as guarantee that
their promises for the future will be abundantly
fulfilled.

ECLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,ss.-Th,

INCLECIlC MANALlNE FOX 'S3s--Ine
-II 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, it fills place which could
be filed 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
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 ECLECTIC will continue TO be composed OF
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews
while everything valuable 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.

engraved by Mr.. SARTAIN, who has no superior in
