Excerpt from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 3: June to November, 1851 This Number closes the Third Volume of harper's new monthly magazine. In clos ing the Second Volume the Publishers referred to the distinguished success which had attend ed its establishment, as an incentive to further efforts to make it worthy the immense patron age it had received - they refer with confidence to the Contents of the present Volume, for proof that their promise has been abundantly fulfilled. The Magazine has reached its present enormous circulation, simply because it gives a greater amount of reading matter, of a higher quality, in better style, and at a cheaper price than any other periodical ever published. Knowing this to be the fact, the Publishers have spared, and will hereafter spare, no labor or expense which will increase the value and interest of the Magazine in all these respects. The outlay upon the present volume has been from five to ten thousand dollars more than that upon either of its predecessors. The best talent of the country has been engaged in writing and illustrating original articles for its pages z - its selec tions have been made from a wider field and with increased care; its typographical appear ance has been rendered still more elegant; and several new departments have been added to its original plan.
