| The union of Emerson's Magazine and Put
MANS Monthly, has given to the consolidated
work "A circulation second to but one similar pub
LEGATION in the country, and has secured for it u
combination of literary and artistic talent probab-
ly unriyaled by any other magazine in the world.
During the first month, the sale in the trade and
demand from subscribers exceeded 10000 copies,
and the numbers already issued of the c0nsoidat-
ed work are universally conceded to have sur
passed, in the richness of their LITERARY contents,
and the beauty and proiusencss Of their pictorial
Illustrations, any magazine ever before issued
from the American press. Encouraged by these
evidences of favor, the publishers have determine
ed to commence the new volume in January with
still additional attractions, and to offer such in
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 programme. They have purchased that
superb and costly steel-plate engraving,
1.-THE LAST SUPPER"
aud will present Il copy of it to every thrce-lol-
lar subscriber for the year 1853. 1t was engrav-
ed atSa cost Of over $4,000, by the late celebrat-
ed A. l.. Dick, from the original Of Raphael Nor
gan, after Leonardo Da yinci, and is the largest
steel-plate engraving ever executed in this colin-
try, being three times the size of the ordinary
three-doar engrayings.
The first impressions Of this engraving are
held at $40 aud it was the intention OF the artist
that none of the engravings should ever be offer
ed for less sum than IS, being richly worth
that amount Thus every three-dollar subscriber
will receive the Magazine one year-cheap at :S3
and this splendid engraving, richly worth 50
thus getting for 81 the value of s.
We shall commence striking off the engravings
immediately, yet it can hardly be expected that
impressions of so large plate can be taken as
fast as they can be called for by subscribers We
SHALL therefore furnish them in the order in which
subscriptions are received Those who desire to
obtain their engrayugs early, and from the first
impressions should send in their subscriptions
without delay. The engraving can be sent on
rollers by mail, or in any manner, as subscribers
shall order.
