VOLUMES XXI. and XXII.
Edited by T. S. ARTHUR and VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND.
Devoted to Social Literature, Arts, Morals, Health, and Domestic Happiness.
The aim of this work from the beginning, has been to unite in one periodical the attractions and excellencies of two classes of magazines—The Ladies', or Fashion Magazines, as they are called, and the literary monthlies; and so to blend the useful with the entertaining, as to please and benefit all classes of readers. The true "Home Magazine" must have its
TOILETTE and WORK-TABLE DEPARTMENT; its MOTHER'S
DEPARTMENT; its HEALTH, CHILDREN'S, and HOUSEKEEPER'S
DEPARTMENTS; as well as its strictly
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
All these are united in our magazine, and in each department excellence is sought. Nothing is admitted in any way hurtful to morality, honor, or religion.
Probably of no periodical in the country has the press everywhere spoken with unqualified approval. From thousands of similar notices we give the following:
It is a Home Magazine in every sense of the word, healthy, fresh, and sweet—beautiful as the meadows of June. It is a welcome necessity in our home.—Journal, Delhi, Iowa.
Its cheapness makes it accessible to all families, while its literary merits are inferior to none of the more expensive magazines.—Cataract, Cohoes, N.Y.
Arthur has done as much as any man of his age to diffuse good morals and religious principles among the young, and his magazine comes forth from month to month like a sower to sow, and scatters the good seed everywhere.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Arthur's Home Magazine is undoubtedly the best publication of its character, for the price, published in the United States or any other country.—Independent, Mankato, Minn.
