The plan which the pubhsheis l have adopted is very judicious, and will always give ! them a great advantage over other publications of this j deset iplion.—They import a large tiuml.er of periodical woiks, nearly thirty in the whole—and from these select , such articles, as in their opinion, n ill be entertaining I and instructive, and discard every thing that is frivolous or hurtful. In this way they give their readers (lie val uablo contents of a great number of Magazines and i Reviews, at as low :t rate as a single publication would I be imported. Besides, the quantity which they publish is much greater than that of ordinary niouthir publica- f tiur.s. They print OC pages, with a dunblc column, and on a small but neat type, making each number contain as much as sonic quarterly periodical works with near ly double the number of pages, and a much larger type. “We have heard the opinions of many good judges who have read this work, and they all pronounce it the j best Magazine of the kind they are acquainted with.” • -V.
