Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro
found to demand the attenition of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu
lar understanding, and designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it oatld be if it
was the organ of the "Society for the Diffu
sion of Useful Knowledge."
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of ixople. There are few
intelligent Aniericanfamilies in which Har
per's Magazine would not be an applreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent-reading family can less afford to he
without. ilany magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly a more popular magazine in the world.-
e.ei England Homestead.
The most popular in its scheme, the most
original of our magazines.-iVlstion.
HARPER'S WEEKLY.
The best publication ofitselassin America,
and so far ahead of all other weekly journals
as not to permit of any comparison between
it and any of their number.
Its columns contain the finest collections of
reading matter that tire printed. * *
Its illustrations are numerous and beauti
ful,fieing furnished by the best artists in the
country.-Boston Traveller.
liarper's Weekly deserves its primacy in
this class of publication, alike for the value
of its matter as the excellence of its illustra
tions. The spirited and telling pictorial sat
ires of Nast are a power in society. and are
dictated in aid of a sound public opinion, and
against public wrongs and follies. Thle edi
torials on public affairs are models of discus
sion, weighty and temperate, supporting high
principles in an elevated tone and a chasten
ed literary style.-LE~amL'iner and Chronicle.
