Iif,.-This subject will be treated in series OF
separate papers engaged from writers who sta
i'm the front rank among Americans, both in quail

expected that the illustration of this series viii
be Of u refined and typical character, commensur-

will 20 fully realize the constant desire OF the
magazine 10 keep out of the ruts, and. both in
teNt and Illustrations, 10 obtain quality rather
than quantity and 10 print fresh, ST. ong and DEL.
cate work from original sources.
