HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's M'.zine. They are read'with
equal interest ad stisfaetion- by -boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently. pro
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu
lar understanding, and designed as moa to
diffuse correct information concernjng cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the "Society fbr the Ulffu
sion of Useful Knowledge."
The great design of Harpe's is to give cr
rect intormation and rationul unmusemlent to
the great masses of people. There are few
intefligent American falnihes in which Har
per's Magazine would not be an appreelnte&
and highly welcome guest.
There is no mouthly magazine that an in
telligent reading ficmily Can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accuriltated.
Harper's is edited. T'here is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly a mor popular magazine in the world.
