Scribner's Magazine. 



An Exceptional Year. 



The Year 1891 has been marked by a greater advance than any similar period 

 since the Magazine was established. Not only has the literary and artistic ex- 

 cellence been maintained and increased, but a corresponding gain has been made 

 in the sale and influence of the Magazine. At the end of 1891 the circulation 

 has risen to more than 140,000. It may justily be promised that the further 

 improvements for the coming year will be proportionate to these largely increased 

 opportunities. 



For Next Year. 



It is not possible to give, in a brief space, an account of all the features in 

 preparation, but the material is deficient in neither importance nor range of 

 subject. Among the subjects treated: 



The Poor in the World's Great Cities. 



It is proposed to publish a series of articles, upon a scale not before attempted, 

 giving the results of special study and work among the poor of the great cities. 

 The plan will include an account of the conditions of life in those cities (in 

 many lands) where the results of research will be helpful for purposes of com- 

 parison as well as for their own intrinsic interest. While, from a scientific point 

 of view, the articles will be a contribution of great importance, the treatment 

 will be thoroughly popular, and the elaborate illustrations will serve to make 

 the presentation of the subject vived as well as picturesque 



Washington Allston. 



Unpublished Reminiscences and Letters of this foremost among early American 



painters. A number of illustrations will lend additional interst to the articles. 



Out of Door Papers. 



In the early spring will be begun a number of seasonable articles, among them 

 being: 



Small Country Places, how to lay out and beautify tqem, by Samuel Parsons, Jr 



Fishing Lore from an Angler's Note-Book, by Dr. Lerov M Yale 

 Mountain Station Life in New Zealand, by Sidney Dickinson. 



Hacing in Australia, by Sidney Dickinson, with illustrations by Birge Harrison 

 The illustrations are made from original material.
