THE CASKET,
OR
Flowers of Literature, Wit and Sentiment,
EMBELLISHED WITH SPLENDID ENGRAVINGS.
HF patronage that has already been extend
ed to the Casket, has not only- exceeded
our most sanguine expectations, but, if we mis
take not, is unprecedented in the annals of
monthly literature. This success bas induced us
to give the work a more attractive form for the
present year, os well in its literary department,
as well as in its decorations and typographical
arrangements. A new font of type "has been pro
cured, upon which it is printed; the size and
number of the pages are to be considerably ex-
tended and they are also enlarged, and paper
superior to that formerly used, is employed in its
publication ; meantime, that every department
may exhibit a corresponding degree of improve
ment, arrangements having been entered into
with artists, for various decorations and orna
ments. The usual number of copper-plates will
be found, and it is pi oposed to furnish each num
ber with two wood engravings, instead of one. as
heretofore. The wood engravings representing
scenes, or referring to incidents familiar or inter
esting to most of our readers, will be accompani
ed by well written descriptions of events and ex
hibitions connected with the picture—each re
fleeting upon the other's interest and value.
It is our desire to render the Casket interesting
to the various classes of readers to whom periodl
cal literature generally addresses itself; and we
shall feel called upon to search, with renewed at
tention and assiduity, for the most interesting
contents of foreign Magazines, while a proper
inducement will be held out for native writers to
contribute a portion of their labors to enrich our
Casket.
These regulations can be effected without any
sacrifice of that light reading, and general maga
zine of small paragraphs that must enter into
all literary works; inasmuch as the size of the
work will be very considerably enhanced—its
contents, thesefore, assumes a more diversified
j form, and boasts an increase of solid matter.
The price of the Casket will be $3 60 per an
num, payable within three m-mths after the re
ceipt of the first number—but, if the subscription
is pa id in advance, $2 50 will be received as pay
ment in full
The arrangements which we have made for thg'
publication of the Casket, warrant us in assuring
it- patrons, that it shall equal, in attraction, any
work of the kind that has been published ; wh le
its price is scarcely half that of the most ordinary
monthly publications.
Those who wish ,o patronize the work will
please to intimate their wishes by sending us hie
subscription in advance—the increasing expenses
of the paper, printing, engravings, &lc. render it
absoluteiy necessary for us to be f urnished with
the means of meeting expenditures promptly.

Office, Ckesnut-street.
It may be well to state, that the “ Casket for
1827,” forms a distinct volume—price $2 50;
it contains thirty-six splendid engravings, with
nearly 600 pages of letter-press printing, consti
tuting one of the cheapest publications in the U.
States. A few of the numbers can be s pplied to
fnture subscribers.
