The union OF Emerson's Magazine and Put
MANS Monthly, has given to the consolidated
work circulation second to but one similar pub
LEGATION in the country, and has secured for if
combination of literary and artistic talent probab-
" unrivaled by any other magazine in the world,
During the first month, the sale in the trade and
demand from subscribers exceeded 80, 600 copies,
and the numbers already issued of the consolidat-
ed work are universally conceded to have sur
passed, in the richness of their Literary contents,
and the beauty and profuseness Of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before issued
from the American press Encouraged by these
evidences of favor, the publishers have deterinin-
ed to commence the new volume III January with
still additional attractions, and to offer such H.
ducements to subscribers as cannot fail to place
it, in circulation, at the head of American Maya
zines With this view they now announce the
following programe. They have purchased that
superb and costly steel-pate engraving,
"TIIE LAST SUPPER"
and will present copy of it to every three-dol-
lar subscriber for the year 1858. 1t was engray-
ed at cost of over $4,000, by the late celebrat-
ed A. l.. Dick, from the original Of Raphael Nor
gan, after Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest
steel-pate engraving ever executed in this coul-
try, being three times the size of the ordinary
threedollar engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are
held at $40, and it was the intention Of the artist
that none of the engravings should ever be Offer
