190 Literary Notices. 



The Inventor. 



A Journal for the artisan. It is well conducted, profusely il- 

 lustrated contains remarks on all the new patents of the day, 

 and other valuable information, of intrinsic worth to the class it 

 addresses. Price $1,00 per annum. Address Quimby, Haskell & 

 Co., New York. 



Catalogue of Cosmopolitan Art Association. 



Estimates have been made of the length of the advertisments 

 of the Cosmopolitan Association, as they appeared in the news- 

 papers last year. Averaging each insertion at 10 inches, it was 

 found that, altogether, the advertisements would have formed a 

 strip of paper, 2| inches in width, fourteen hundred miles in length ! 

 Some reading matter, that cost the Association a nice sum of 

 money. 



The Illustrated Catalogue is printed upon 360,000 sheets, 24 

 by 33 inches — giving an area of 328,320,000 square inches 1 — a 

 few broad miles of printed matter 1 — The schoolmaster must be 

 abroad to instruct the people to read. 



This association has become wonderfully popular in a very 

 short time. All persons who subscribe previous to January 31st 

 are entitled to a ticket in the distribution of that date. 



Erata. 



In the advertisement of Shaker blankets in the November 

 number, we unintentionally stated, that the prices ranged from 

 $12, to $40 per dozen. It should have been $12, $35, and $40 per 

 pair. As the disparity was so great, we feel compelled to give 

 this conspicuous correction.
