HARPER'S MAGAZINE.

The Publishers believe that the Seventeen Volumes of Harper's
Magazine
now issued contain a larger amount of valuable and attractive
reading than will be found in any other periodical of the
day. The best Serial Tales of the foremost Novelists of the time:
Levers' “Maurice Tiernay,” Bulwer Lytton's “My Novel,”
Dickens's “Bleak House” and “Little Dorrit,” Thackeray's
“Newcomes” and “Virginians,” have successively appeared in the
Magazine simultaneously with their publication in England. The
best Tales and Sketches from the Foreign Magazines have been
carefully selected, and original contributions have been furnished
by Charles Reade, Wilkie Collins, Mrs. Gaskell, Miss Muloch,
and other prominent English writers.

The larger portion of the Magazine has, however, been devoted
to articles upon American topics, furnished by American writers.
Contributions have been welcomed from every section of the country;
and in deciding upon their acceptance the Editors have aimed
to be governed solely by the intrinsic merits of the articles, irrespective
of their authorship. Care has been taken that the Magazine
should never become the organ of any local clique in literature, or
of any sectional party in politics.

At no period since the commencement of the Magazine have its
literary and artistic resources been more ample and varied; and the
Publishers refer to the contents of the Periodical for the past as the
best guarantee for its future claims upon the patronage of the American
public.
