TCLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,53.-The
L 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-
ingy felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, it fills place which could
be filled in 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 local interest,"
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required 10 peruse it. To select
from the whole field of journalism all that is really
valuable, both the graver dissertations and discus
sons 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 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, or craftsmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style Of the mezzotint.

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.

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 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 undated "fath 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 50 90.

thirty five thousand copies-a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
