edgments to the press and the public for the ex-
.traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
of the American people, and 10 renew their as.
surances that every possible effort will be made
TO increase still, further the claims of their maga-
zine upon public favor and support. II will con-
tinue TO present, al the cheapest price, the most
interesting and instructive literary matter original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, and accompaniedby
the finest pictorial illustrations which lavish ex-
penditure of money can command. They appeal

their promises for the future will be abundantly
fulfilled.
