SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY,
''The Great National Magazine,

Enters upon a new year (its ninth vol
ume) with the November number, with
broader plans and larger enterprise than
ever before, and with the ambition it has
maintained from the first, to demonstrate
itself to be the brightest, the strongest,
the most beautiful, and in ever way the
the best popular Magazine IN che 1gorid.
During the year it will present such
marvels of illustrative engravings az no
popular magazine has ever been able 10
publish. Its writers will be, as they
have been, the choice and chosen liter
airy men and women Of America. Among
the attractive features Of the Year will be
a new serial novel,
"THE STORY OF sEVENOAKs,"
by j. G. Holland. A series Of papers
from various pens on
AMERICAN LIFE d SCENERY" ."
including descriptive papers on Ameri-
can cities, will open in January with a
narrative Of Western Discovery and
Adventure, by Major Powell, whose de-
scent Of the Colorado is one of the most
famous exploits of Western travel. This
series will rival "The Great South" pa
pers in the magnifcence Of its illustra-
tions, whilst possessing greater variety
and wider interest. Also another illus
trated series:

ROPE"

/ Writers. The Magazine will continue
to hold its pre-eminence in this regard.
| The Essays, Reviews, and Editorial Pa
pers will, as heretofore, employ the
/ ablest pens in both Europe and Ameri-
ca. Home and Society, which has grown
/ in favor and in excellence from the first,

er improved, and there will be greater
variety in this department.
