fsF SSa II ER ATURE TyO say that this is a reading age. imn,;.' E. desire for instruction, and the meas' e.sss to gratify that desire. On the first no;n. ,'sais a are agreed on the second, there is a;vas,,:a.ul ,au both of opinion and of practice. We lbe'y basy newspapers, magazines, reviews. in ena pamphlets of all sizes, on nearly al s,,.;ss.ss VI which have seyerally their classes of ressa and supporters. And yet, copions as these means of intellectual supply, more ass ass still needed. In addition to the reviaws s's 's the day, and passing notices of books tha people, in large numbers, in all parts of ons great republic, crave the possession of pi stl books themselves, and details, beyond rnes' su0 passing allusion, of the progress of discovor. in art and science. But though 1t be easv 7 ascertain and express their wants. + sn " so easy to gfatify them. Expense. distanos I from the emporium of literature, enoross;ns. occupations which prevent personal apnbca7 tion or even messages to libraries and ho,L sellers, are so many causes to keen neonla away from the feast of reason, and the en;ov, fnent of the coveted literary aliment. i,;s the aim of the publishers of the Library to obviate these difficulties, and to enable eyerv l Individual, at a small cost and without anu personal effort, to obtain for his own use ana | that of his favoured friends or family. valn abie works, complete, on all the branches oe useful and popular literature, and that ns form well adapted to the comfort of fbe ,esl CT.

 I The charm of variety, as far as 1t is com. patible with morality and good taste, willbe | held constantly in view in conducting the Libral,;, to fill the pages of which the cpr. rent literature of Great Britain, in aii ;fa various departments of Biography, History. Travels, Novels and Poetry, shall ibe freely put under contribution. N ith, perchance. occasional exceptions, 1t is intended to ojye entire the work which shall be selected for publication. When circumstances authorize 1 the measure, recourse will be had to the | literary stores of Continental Europe. and translations made from French, Italian. or German, as the case may be.

 1 Whilst the body of the work will be 4 reprint, or at times translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscels llaneous character of Magazine, and consist of sketches of men and things, and notices of novelties in literature and the arts, through out the civilized world. A full and regular supply of the literary monthly and hebdom- adal journals of Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of similar cha racter, cannot fail to provide ample materials for this part of our work.

 The resources and extensive correspond ence of the publishers, are the best guarantee for the continuance of the enterprise in which they are now about to embark, as well as for the abundance of the materials to give 1t va lue in the eyes of the public. As far as judi cious selection and arrangement are concern ed, readers will, 1t Is hoped. have reason to be fully satisfied, as the editor of the Library is not stranger to them, but has more than once obtained their favorable suffrages fer his past literary efforts.
