We have the pleasure of presenting
TO the public our plans for the coming
year, beginning with the third volume
in November. They involve changes
that are full of encouragement to our
selves, and of interest and advantage to
our readers.
The unprecedented patronage that
has been accorded to our enterurise has
left us no doubt that all our attempts at
greater excellence and larger results
will be met with the most liberal spirit
on the part of the public. We have
therefore decided to enlarge the maga-
zine, and SO to condense its materials
while preserving its present large and
beautiful type, as TO furnish the equiv
alent oil thlrty-two extra pages of mat
ter in every number, or nearly four
pages year. This enlargement will
enable us, with every Issue, to present
a greater number of illustrations, and a
better variety OF articles than il would
otherwise be possible to give, and holp
US to realize our purpose 10 make the
Monthly in all respects the finest ma
gazinc that can be made in America.
We wish to have it distinctly under
stoad, while institutng this enlarge
ment that we do not propose To publish
the largest magazine i'll the world. We
shall aim simply, excluding all "pad-
ding" to publish the best.
OUR CONTRIBUTORS.
We are constantly adding to The mum
Der of our contributors, who will con-
tinue TO be, as they have been, among
the best who write the English langu.
age in Europe and America.
OUR ILLUSTRATIONS.
While having in constant employ
ment a choice corps of designers and
engravers for the illustration of literary
material produced at home, we shall H.
vail ourselves of rare advantages Tor Sc
curing the finest products of foreign
art, some of which we hope to be able
TO present with every number.
