greatest paper in the world, which will be is
sued the first week in January, 1848, under the ti

KOBERT MACAIRE IN ENGLAND,
NEW TYPE AND SPLENDID PAPER.
The January number, to be ready on the filth ol
December, will be in erjtirely new type, and with a
new and more beautilul t,tyle of paper.
ORIGINAL STORIES ILLUSTRATED.
A great lieature of this Magazine Ibr 1848 will be
the publication ol original stories, illustrated by orig
inal engiavingjs, an enterprize bo costly as liereto-
tore to have been ventured on only t»y this periodi
cal. Mrs. Stephens, the greatest of living female
authors, has already written a thrilling tale to be
thus illustrated; and others will also be given.
A PRIZE NUMBER FOR JANUARY.
We thought, last year, that we had published a
January number such an never could be surpassed ;
but for January, 1848, we shall issue one far excelling
it, and infifiitely supenor to any ever seen in A meri-
ca. We have the plates for that number, each of
which it worth the subscription price. Send and see
THE VERY LALEST FASHIONS.
We have arrangements by which we can excel
all colemporaries m the hateness and beauty of our
fashions. For 1848 we shall give, each month, a
full description of the fashione, piepared by a cele
brated dressmaker, and written in a style to be un-
deratootl by eveiy lady, as well as by the prolession-
al milliner.
SPLENDID NOVELTIES.
We shall introduce in 1848, several nov'elties,
among them descriptions of all the popular dance*,
accompanied by engravings; also a department
which shall keep the run of all new fashions in fur-
n/iure, &c.; also new receipts; also fresh styles of
embroidery, netting, &c. In short, we shall make
ihe Magazine useful to the family, as well as orna
mental to the parlor.
THE BEST FOR THE SEX.
This periodical hae a well earned reputation of
being the best lor the sex. In fact, after all, on its
literary merir. must n Magazine stand or lall. Ours
is edited by Mrs. Aim S. Stephens, confessedly the
best living romance writer, at home or abroad. Her
own stories^lave no eojials. Tales ofdomeaiic lile.
ot revolutionary liisiSry, anil of the fashionaJde
world fill our pages, culled with care, and all written
expressly for us.

Agreeably to the practice of last year, the pub

to do so next year. Those who subscribe to 6^0-

that they may receive more for their money in the

There is a J/ezzotint and Line Engravin«^ in eaeh

no other has them every month and colored. Then
there are Cape, Bonnets, Chemisettes, Equestrian
