PETERSON'S KAQAZINE.
Greatly increased in size, and improve!
in elegance and merit. Edited by Mrs.
Akn S. Stephens, and Cuari.es J. Peter
son. The great increase in the circulation
of this Magazine for 1852, has determined.
the publishers to spare no expense tor tho
ensuing year, in order still further to in
crease its list. He will therefore, add
greatly to the number of pages, without, as
other Magazines have done, decreasing the
quantity or elegance of the embellishments.
The price, too, will remain a dollar less
than its cotemporaries. As the postage
also, is less, he looks for 100,000 subscribers
in 1852.
The fashions exclusively in this Maga
cine. This is now the only Magazine which,
tublishes colored steel-plate fashions regu
arly. To each is added a full letter-press
description, giving Information on all tha .
Latest-Styles, received direct irom London
and Paris. All who wish to know the real
fashions, must take this periodical. In our
Eastern cities, it is the only authority. To
the dress-maker, milliner, etc, it is invalu
able. - ..... ,
Most readable and original of the maga
zines. The literary department will be
entirely eriginal, instead of being made up,
as are all the other magazines, of second-
rate English stories. During the last twe (
years, this magazine has been confessedly,
the best in the country for Ladies. It has -published
more brilliant tales and novels in
that period, than all its cotemporaries to
gather. During 1853, it will be better . n
than ever. ; Mrs.un S. Stephens, the best
romance writer in America : the author ot.
"Dora Athertea;" and others, will contrib
ute exclusively. for 1851 The domestic,
stories for which this magazine is famous, .1
will be continued from the pens oi Ella.
