UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF
H. R. H THE DUCHESS OF KENT.
THE NEW
MONTHLY BELLE ASSEMBLEE.
BEAUTIFULLY EMBELLISHED WITH HIGHLY-FINISHED STEEL ENGRAVINGS,
PORTRAITS OF THE NOBILITY, &c.
Both the Metropolitan and Provincial press have declared this the most deservedly popular of the Ladies' Magazines; and a reference to any recent number would be sufficient to establish its claims to the patronage it receives. It is the aim of the Editress to render it a decidedly literary publication, considerable space being devoted to notices of, and extracts from, new works. Neither is music nor the world of art neglected; while, in her selection of original articles, a distinct purpose is maintained—that of combining information with amusement; and, while eschewing the old world school of bygone romance, to preserve a tone of refinement without effeminacy. Perhaps, however, the names of a few of the contributors whose talent enriches the pages of the New Monthly Belle Assemblee with stories illustrative of history or of life, sketches of society, essays, poetry, &c., will best establish the quality of its contents. These are—
Mrs. Abdy
Miss Acton
Grace Aguilar
Capt. Bellew, Author of "Memoirs of a Griffin.
W. G. J. Barker, Esq.
Mrs. V. Batholomew
Calder Campbell
C. J. Hitchings, Esq.
Miss Leslie
The Hon. Julia Maynard
Miss G. Munro
Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie
N. Michell
Miss Power
Mrs. Ponsonby
J. J. Reynolds
Anna Savage
Mrs. F. B. Scott
Miss A. J. Sparrow
Charles Swain
Percy B. St. John
Mrs. Edward Thomas
Camilla Toulmin
Mrs. White
Eliza Walker
Elizabeth Youatt
E. A. H. O., &c., &c.
When we consider the quantity of matter a number contains, the exquisite engravings which are included, and the elaborate plates and descriptions of the fashions, there can be no doubt that this Magazine, published at eighteenpence, is the cheapest as well as the best of its class.
