sip with his readers, have doubtless, with ourselves

and Joyousness. In this number The Gossip

dancing in the sunshine of May morning We

he must certainly snow brown in the coming
number; but this number gives no sign of exhaus-
tion."-National HteHigencer, Washing ton.
The best talent in the country will be enlisted,
and no expense or effort spared TO make the
knickerbocker more than ever deserving of the
first position among our original American Maya
zines. @..

MoNTHLY-On the first OF

i 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 Amer-
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support Of the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a
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 faith 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.
The first edition of the June number consists OF
thirty five thousand copies-a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in
Europe.
TERMS: So per annum; or 25 cents number
