SEVENTEENTH VOLUME. ;. The Publishers of Harper's New Monthly Maga zine refer to the Sixteen 'Volumes already issued as the best assurance that no labor pr expense will be spared to render it worthy of the liberal support which it has received,- They believe that the Mag agine now embraces in its general plan every thing essential to an attractive literary miscellany, adapted to the wards of . the American Public, Its regular circulation has not been diminished even doling the unexampled financial revulsion, which has proved disastrous to so many literary and commercial enter prises ; and they are assured from every quarter that the5 Magazine is recognized as a necessity rather th.an h bi-riirv: Thev therefore announce no "New Features'' for the future; They will continue to fill the Magazine with articles inculcating sound views in Life and Morals; leaving, as heretofore, the dis cussion of sectarian opinions in Religion, and section al questions in Politics to their own appropriate organs.- Wise men and true patriots agree upon points far more numerous than those upon which they differ. The object of the Magazine will be to unite rather than to separate the views and feelings of the people of our common country. , The Publishers do not find it necessary or expedi ent to appeal to public attention by issuing "Speci men, Numbers" containing an unusual amount of matter or illustrations. They intend that every Number shall prove the Magazine to be thebcf-tiand cheapest periodical published. It will contain a larger amount of matter, more numerous and better illustrations printed in a better manner, than (any other Monthly Uagazine ; . and the Publishers are confident that it will deserve and receive the same cordial appreciation and liberal patronage which have been accorded ti it duriDg the.
