III ana CnOral Adv0cate-ls the cheapest and
best Musical Paper in the world This journal,
(Which has heretofore been published monthly
commences its fifth year in January next, and
weeks--on every other Thursdays thereby giving
more than twice much matter without any In
crease in price. Each number contains sixteen
quarto pages, four of which are new music, con-
sisting of glees hymn tunes chants, anthems, ded-
cation and holyday pieces, and in short, every
variety of music adapted to purposes of religious
worship, 10 public occasions and to the home cir
Gle; all of which will be of practical character,
and such as can be sung by persons of ordinary
musical attainments. In the editorial department
OF the Rerieao are engaged, Gn addition 10 Mr..
talent and rpest musical experience, among whom
are, George F. Root, VIM. b. Bradbury Thomas
Hastings, and Lowell Mason and its circle Of cor
respondence home and foreign, is complete. The
ReUtefo will also be regular medium for the
nouncement of new musical publications by all the
leading publishing houses in the Union. The SUBJ
scription list of this paper is larger than that
of any similar Journal in the world, and the new
arrangements, rendering it the cheapest well as
Qt is hoped the most valuable paper ever pub
lished, must largely increase its already unparal-
elled circulation.
Terms One dollar per amnun or sic copies for
fire dollars, always in advance.
May- The music alone in a volume would cost
over five dollars in the usual form. Besides this
there will be an immense amount Of musicalnews,
essays, criticisms, Instructions &C.. &c, all for
only one dollar! Every one feeling a particle OF
interest in the cause ofmusic will surely subscribe.

and was intended only to apply 10 draft per

misunderstood, as TO be supposed TO allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount not exceed

GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES
WILL POSITIVELY BE PUBLISHED

w in December, LIPPINcoTT GRAMBo &5 Cos
new and complete Gazetteer of the United States.
| Edited by I. Baldwin and j. Thomas, NJ d.
With new and superb map of the United States,
engraved on steel.
The publishers take pleasure in announcing the
completion of this, the most elaborate compre-
hensive, and perfect Gazetteer of the United
States that has issued from the press. In its
preparation no considerations Of expense or labor
have been allowed TO interfere with work de-
signed TO be as perfect possible in every de-
partment, and in all Of its detail. Nor have the
successive issues Of other Gazettcers hurried
through the press TO claim the market, tempted
The publishers to offer their book before all the
ample census (of 1S50) and other material in the
hands Of the editors fully digested and Secu-
ratey arranged.
When the Gazetteer was first announced 800
pages, or at the most 900 were designed as the
limit of the book. But so vast was the amount Of
matter, accumulated through the personal labors
of the editors and their assistants, as well as
through the active efforts of several thousand cor
respondents in all parts of the United States, the
work has swelled to near 300 pages The
amount of new matter which il contains all of
recent character is very large, and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations to
1853. This gives il an intrinsic value over every
other work of the kind in existence.
We therefore offer our Gazetteer confidently, as
the only complete and thoroughly reliable Gasct-
feer cfthe Unftcd States yet published.
As above stated, the work is now ready, and
will be published in December 1853. Price TO
subscribers, SO SO; to non-subscribers, 81.
