MAGAZINE FOR ,sa.-The

IL sphere and the utility of the EcLEcTIc MAaA-
ZINE have become too well defined to require ex-
PLANTATION. Differing iDAim from other magazines
and supplying wantNvhich is widely and increas-
ingly felt by more Educated and intelligent por-
ton Of the community, il fills place which could
be filed in no other method than by the principle
Of selection which il adopts. The great reviews
through which the leading minds Of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, 10 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 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 scvicws s.l 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 membranes 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. 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
rature, art, or statesmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTArS who has no superior in
the striking and effective style Of the mezzotint

literary undertakings, proves the gennineness OF
the national welcome with which The prospectus

challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is
success of which the publishers are proud
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, as they said at
the commencement Of the undertaking. that, "a
popular magazine must amuse, interest, and in
struct." They have still unabated "faith in the
oppulence Of our own native resources y and they
appeal to the experience Of the last six months TO
show with what reason.
