Remarkable Success.

The unprecedented increase in the circula
ton of Scribncrs Monthly, is subject OF
universal comment, and applies not only
to this country but with double force to Eng
land. During the issue of the seventeenth
volume just completed. the sale of the mag
azine has increascdby twenty thousand copies
and il bids fair to reach one hUadIed MoHs-
aHd copies by the end Of the year. In Eng
land the edition has doubled during the same
period. The main reason for this, we appre-
bend. Is the surprising excellence of the ma O.
azine itself, being a work that Is perfectly
safe to put into the hands of every indiy i1ual
member of the familv-the soliditv of its mat
ter being lightened by choice illustrations. all
its lessons of the purest nature. and its dis
cussion of current topics conducted in fair
and honorable spirit. Scribner is welcome,
thrice welcome. in every home it visits.
The 18th volume. which closed with the
April number. has been bound and ready for
delivery, in artistic, olive-green covers, OF
charming design with cover-linings; and
makes very fine appearance.
The contents of the volume comprises the
numbers from Nov. 1873, to April 1879. in.
elusive. with almost thousand pages of
choice reading matter and three hundred and
fifty cuts. There are portraits of eminent
men. biographical and scientific articles, H.
Illustrated papers OF great merit. tales and
sketches of great beauty and brilliancv, poe
try from the pens of the eminent authors
We are assured that the eighteenth volume
beginning with the MAY number. will not fall
behind the high standard of its immediate
predecessors. We have not time to give the
distinctive features that will make it most
attractive.
