MAGAZINE FOR 'sa.-The

TCLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,53.-The
lL 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. ii fills place which could
be filled 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, 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 a temporary or local interest,
and which is worth To the American reader neither
the price time required 10 peruse it.. To select
from the whole field OF journalism all that is really
valuable both The Sraver dissertations and discus
sions OF the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines is the pIlr-
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 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
nature, art. or craftsmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIN, 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 III large Syo
pages each on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
year. with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per
year, il paid strictly in advance-otherSise So .
