THE WONDERFUL 
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY NUMBER 
OF ST. NICHOLAS. 
The largest and most beautiful is¬ 
sue of any magazine for girls and 
boys ever published, containing more 
than One hundred pages and ninety- 
five pictures. 
The continued success of St. Nicholas in Eng¬ 
lish-speaking countries, as well as the high compli¬ 
ment paid to its conductors by the recently-accepted 
offer of a Paris publisher of a French edition (the 
first number of which will be issued in Paris in time 
for the Holidays), has authorized a permanent in¬ 
crease in the size of the magazine and the enlarge¬ 
ment of the regular editions. The publishers have 
prepared a Christmas number for 1879, which will 
surpass in variety and richness of contents, and 
beauty of illustration, the previous efforts of any 
publisher of children’s literature, and will empha¬ 
size the fact, already well-known, that St. Nicho¬ 
las is in every respect the leading child-magazine 
of the world. This number will contain

installment of a 
CAPITAL SERIAL FOR THE BOYS, 
by William O, Stoddard, to run some months. 
(A long story, also for boys, by Noah Brooks, 
author of “The Boy Emigrants,” will begin soon.) 
JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER 
contributes a long poem, while Lucy Larcom, 
Mary Mates Dodge and Palmer Cox are also 
represented in verse. There is 
A CHRISTMAS PLAY FOR FESTIVALS, 
by Edward Eggleston, who has written several 
taking stage-pieces for young people; an illustrated 
art-paper ou Thorvaldsen, and an account, with 
twelve pictures, of the life and doings of New York 
Telegraph Boys. 
Gustave Dore, Knaus, Mary Hallock Foote,

H.C.L.D 
FIRST EDITION, 103,000 
The December Scribner is now ready, and so 
rapidly are orders increasing that it is thought the 
first edition will not supply the demand. One 
cause of the recent increase in circulation, shown 
by the fact that there were 
100,000 November Numbers Sold in 
Two Weeks. 
is undoubtedly due to the growing interest in the 
two serials, Henry James, Jr.’s “ Confi¬ 
dence,” which is one of the most fascinating 
character studies, and George W. Cable’s 
NOVEL OF NEW ORLEANS LIFE, 
“ The Graudifisimeiii.” This latter, begun 
in November, will be the leading serial story Of the 
year. Mr. Cable’s “ Old Creole Days ” has attract¬ 
ed wide attention, and this, his first novel, prom¬ 
ises to be among the strongest and most important 
works of fiction that have yet appeared in Ameri¬ 
can literature. The special attractions of the De¬ 
cember number include 
TWENTY POEMS BY AMERICAN WOMEN, 
all written for this magazine, and including verse 
by many of our most prominent women writers. 
Among the other literary features are an account 
of “ Two Visits to Victor Hugo,” by 
H. H. Boyesen, with a large portrait engraved by 
Cole; the continuation of Stedman’s critical esti¬ 
mate of Bayard Taylor’s poetry, an illustrated de¬ 
scription of the John Hopkins Univer¬ 
sity, and an interesting paper by Burroughs ou 
4 * Nature and the JPoets.” 
THE NEW CAPITOL AT ALBANY 
is critically described in an article of eighteen 
pages, with the aid of twenty-three drawings, giv¬ 
ing, it is thought, the first completely illustrated 
description of this building, which the author calls 
“ the most monumental and most honorable work 
of public architecture which this country has to 
show for itself.” 
COFFEE CULTURE IN BRAZIL 
describes from personal observation an industry of 
world-wide interest; and the second of E. P. Roe’s 
papers, “ Success with Small Fruits,” 
tells about “ Strawberries for home and market.” 
Both these are profusely illustrated, the latter with 
drawings by Gibson, Kappes, and Riordan. 
‘‘THE REIGN OF PETER THE GREAT,” 
By Eugene Schuyler, will begin in the February 
number. The illustrations for the first of this 
splendid series of Historical Papers are now 
almost completed, and include reproductions of 
famous Russian paintings, cut on the wood by 
American engravers who are pronounced by the 
London /Saturday Review “ the best in the world.” 
All that enterprise and skill can do will be done 
to maintain the position of Scribner as the leading 
popular periodical of America.

The demand is so constant for fine proofs of the 
choicest illustrations which have appeared in

publishers have prepared at great expense

of the best engravings from the pages of their mag¬ 
azines. The edition is limited to one thousand 
copies, and orders may be sent in to dealers or to 
the publishers at once, to be filled on the issue of 
the Portfolio, about Dee. 1st. Price $10.00.
