PROSPECTUS
EMERSON'S MAGAZINE
AND
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY.
VOLUME VII.
COMMENCING WITH THE JULY
NUMBER, 1853.
VNHIS Popular Magazine has now attained a
L circulation equalled by few of its cotempo-
rarics. it is the only thoroughly ORIGINAL AM
crcan Illustrated Periodical, strictly speaking,
now published in this country.
1t ranks among its contributors some of the
finest minds on this continent its wood engrav-
ings acknowledged to be superior to any
other and its inducements to subscribers are
Cncquallcd.
Since it has passed into the hands of its pres
cnt lroprietors, all sectional and party features
have been removed, and it may now dcservedly
lie classed rs the highest exponent of American
fterature-neutral in politics, and wholly Ma
tional and impersonal in its general character.
The publishers have determined to continue
their great offer of a MAGNIFICENT FIVE
DOLLAR PREMIUM ENGRAVING TO every
Three Dollar Subscriber commencing with or at
any time since January, 1858.
The Engraving selected for the present year,
and which will be presented to every Three
Dollar Subscriber, is
THE LAST SUPPER,
well known to be the finest steel plate exc
cuted in this country, costing over Sc 600 to en-
grave. A full description of this beautiful work
of art will be found on the third cover page OF
the Magazine.
1t is also the intention of the publishers to in
e al, It'll,
literary and artistic point of view, and TO add
10 it several departments of interest and practi-
cal use not to be found in any other Monthly
Periodical.
In commencing the eth volume, the publish
ers feel encouraged to announce that hereafter
each successive volume will be an improvement
on its predecessors. 1t may not be generally
known that the present proprietors of this Mag
azne have furnished EIGHT MONTHS subscription
for nothing to all those subscribers whose sub
scriptions expire with the June number. They
have not only done this, but have carried the
Magazine through q period of great financial
embarrassment without ineurring liabilities; and
it is but fair to suppose that thay will hereafter
be enabled to eXpend more upon the improve
ment of its general appearance than heretofore
having no longer large gratuitous subscription
list on their books
