THE BOSTON EDITION OF THE PENNY MAGAZINE. U31* Price Reduced to $1 50 for 576 Pages! WM. M. MORRISON, Agent. Idxtract from the Preface to the First Volume. UPON the completion of the first volume of the “ Penny Magazine,” it may not be in expedient to offer a few observations to the pur chasers of this little work, whose sale has been justly regarded as one of the most rerr.arkabie indications of the extent to which the desire for knowledge has reached, it is most satisfactory to consider the species of reading which has had such an extensive and increasing popularity. In this work there has never been a single sen tence that could inflame a vicious appetite; and not a paragraph that could minister to prejudi ces and superstitions which a few years since were common. There have been no excite ments lor the lovers of the marvellous; no tattle or abuse for the gratification of a diseased taste for personality; and, above all, no party poli tics. The subjects which have uniformly been treated have been of the broadest and simplest character. Striking points of Natural History; Accounts of the great works of art in Sculpture and Painting; Descriptions of such Antiquities as possess historical interest; Personal NarraJ tives of Travellers; Biographies of Men who have had a permanent influence on the condi tion of the world; Elementary Principles ofLan guage and Numbers; Established lacts in Sta tistics and Political Economy—these have sup- j plied the materials for exciting the curiosity of i a million of readers. This consideration fur-! nishes the most convincing answer to the few , (if any there now remain) who assert that Gene ral Education is an evil. The people will not: abuse the power they have acquired to read, and | therefore to think. Let them be addressed in ' the spirit of sincerity and respect, and they j will prove that they are fully entitled to the praise which Milton bestowed upon their forefa thers, as “a nation not slow and dull, but of a quick, ingenious, and piercing spit it—acute to invent, subtile and sinewy to discourse, not be- j neath the reach of any point the highest that human capacity can soar to.” From the high commendations bestowed up- j on the“ Penny Magazine,” and its unexampled success in Great Britain, the publishers were in duced to undertake the republication of that work in this country. They have completed , one volume, containing 576 pages imperial oc tavo, and ''<302 wood cuts, which they have fur-1 nished to subscribers at the moderate price of, Two Dollars. The unexpected encouragement which they have met with.has now induced them j to offer thesecond volume to subscribers at One j Dollar and Fifty Cents, containing the same 1 number of paires, and to be executed in a style ! equal to their first volume. During the past year, stereotype plates of this work, after having been nearly worn out in Lon- i don, have been imported into New York, and | the impressions from those plates sold at One i Dollar and Fifty Cents for twelve monthly parts, ! containing only 516 pages, being sixty pages less than the Boston edition. The wood cuts and stereotype plates of the Boston edition are entirely new, executed by the publishers, who, being both practically ope rative in the two most important departments of the Book Business, (that of Engraving and Ste reotyping.) they feel confident that they can compete with any foreign viamifacturer in their line, as it regards the style of execution and cheapness. They will therefore issue 48 pages on the first of every month, commencing with July. * oct 6—3t LAND FOlt SALE.
