its advantages available to larger number Of stu
dents. Two additional professors hare been APP
pointed, one in the department of Ancient Ian
guages and the other in that Of Mathematics The
scientific course has been extended go as to EN-.
brace practical surveying, the elements of engi.
neering, and other kindred branches. Young men

The Stereoseopic, or Solid Daguerreotypes
STEREOSCOPY, or the art of giving to pictures
- on fat surface all the solidity and roundness
of life, has been pronounced by scientific men, the
most wonderful discovery made in OPTICS
the effect is really magical. The picture appears
the size OF life, and stands out in alto relieuo like
piece of sculpture or rather like the living being
Specimens of this wonderful art may be seen at

PUTNAM'S MONTHLY.

FfNHE SUBSCRIBERS, responding to the re-
| Il peated and urgently expressed wish Of emf
nent and judicious persons in various sections of
| the country, have decided to commence, on the
first Of January, 1858, AN ENTIRELY ORIGI.
NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title.
| It is intended to combine the lighter character
/ istics of popular magazine with the higher and
graver qualities of quarterly review, filling a
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature.
| While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
is thus obtained, there will be attempt to secure
substantial ExCELLENcE in each department.
| To accomplish this we intend that the work in
all its mechanical and business aspects shall be
such will meet the views of our most distin-
guished writers-such medium as they would
! seek for in communicating with the world, and
Isuch as may tempt some to write ably and profita-
! bly, who have not hitherto contributed to periodi-
calls
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for.
| We believe that an ample material exists for
such work; that there is lack either of talent
among our writer's of appreciation the part of
the reading public; and that properly conducted
periodical of this kind may bring to light much
true genius as yet undeveloped
"Putnam's Monthly will be devoted to the in.
terests OF Literature, Science and Artin their best
and pleasantest aspects.
Entirely independent of all merely selfish in.
terests, partisan sectional leanings, in it's
management. it will be open to competent writers
for free discussion of such topics as are deemed i'm.
portant and of public interest
The critical department. will be wholly indepen-
dent of the publishers and as far as possible of all
personal infuenceor bias. Wholesome castigations
of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
fear or favor.
An elevated national tone and spirit, American
and independent, yet discriminating and just,
both to the literature and 10 the social condition
and prospects of both hemispheres, will be cult
Waited as leading principle of the work.
Special attention will be given to matters con-
nected with social policy, municipal regulations
public health and safety, and the practical econo
mes of every. day life.
While subject needs illustration, or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
given; but it is not expected that the of the
work is to depend on what are termed "embellish-
ments.'
The following, among many others, have ex-
pressed their hearty approval of the plan and will
