Its articles, whether in prose or verse, are adapted with the greatest care to the capacities of children, and are, with very rare exceptions, wholly original.

Its illustrations, which are given with great profuseness, are engraved in the highest style of art, and, in most cases, from designs made expressly for "The Nursery," by the best American artists. Such as are not original, are reproductions of the choicest pictures to be found in the foreign juvenile periodicals.

A song set to music by a skilful composer, and specially adapted to children's voices, is given in every number of the magazine.

Altogether, its pages furnish just such a variety as is best fitted to the wants of children from infancy up to the age of twelve years. In schools it is found to answer admirably as a first-Reader; and in remote districts, where there are no schools, it takes the place of a teacher; for thousands of children have been taught to read by "The Nursery" alone.

A work which is at once so useful and so attractive, cannot fail to be in demand in every family where there are young children. Its low price, ($1.60 a year, free of postage), places it within the reach of all classes. We rely upon its merits alone to secure its circulation, and send a sample copy by mail, for ten cents, to any person who wishes to examine it. We do not hire anybody to subscribe; but if any one procures subscriptions for us, we are always ready to make a suitable compensation.

With this view, we present the following list of Premiums. The articles described are all of the best quality, and many of them such as are wanted in every household. Besides offering them as premiums, we are prepared to supply them for cash—sending them by mail or otherwise on the most favorable terms. We therefore suggest to every person who receives this pamphlet, that it would be well to preserve it carefully for future reference.
