      A few ' Opinions of the Press on I parpfs Jpap ^ m 4 What must strike the most careless observer of the magazine , however , are the truly beautiful woodcuts with which it is plentifully adorned . Impressed on carefully prepared paper , they have all the effect of finely executed steel engravings , without losing the richness of first-rate wood engraving /—St . James ' s Gazette . i Seeing that the price of Harpers Magazine is only one shilling , it is , in its way , as great a marvel of combined excellence and cheapness as we have ever known /—St . James ' s Gazette . ' What we should take to be the most notable event in the republic of letters this month is the appearance on this side of the Atlantic , and , so far as possible , as an English magazine , of Harper ' s Monthly Magazine . The mere appearing of this serial in this way is noteworthy for many reasons ; but the publication of such a magazine , containing 160 pp ., and illustrated with a fulness and beauty only beginning to be known in England , at the cost of only a single shilling , is the one fact which for the moment seems to deserve most attention / Ayr Observer . 4 Harper ' s Magazine is so thickly sown with excellent illustrations that to count them would be a work of time ; not that it is a picture magazine , for the engravings illustrate the text after the manner seen in some of our choicest editions de luxe '—St . James ' s Gazette . * It is so pretty , so big , and so cheap An extraordinary glrillingsworth—160 large octavo pages , with over a score of articles , and more than three times as many illustrations / Edinburgh Daily Review , ' An amazing shillingsworth .... combining choice literature of both nations / — Nonconformist . PRICE ONE SHILLING . London : SAMPSON LOW , MARSTOF , SEARLE , & RIVINGTON , I Crown Buildings , 188 Fleet Street , E . C . ( 56 ) If
