nUTNAMS MONTHLI.-On the first OF
ID July was commenced the second volume OF
Putnam's Monthly. Its success, 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 can command the lively interest and
substantial support of the American Public and
challenge The admiration Of foreign criticism, is n
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, as they said al
the commencement Of the undertaking, that, " a
popular magazine must amuse, interest," and in
struct." They have still unabated " faith in the
oppnlence 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 So 90.
The first edition of the June number consists OF
thirty-five thousand copes--a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in
Europe.

FCLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR '53.-The
IL 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, il fills place which could
be filed in no other method than by the principle
OF selection which il 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 10 peruse il. 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 EcLEcTTc 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 le 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 viii be richly engraved portraits of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
| rature, art or craftsmanship. These plates are
| engraved by Mr.. SARTArN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
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
year, with title pages and indexes. Price So per
year, if paid strictly in alvance--otherwise So.
