=IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE READERS AND STUDENTS OF THE “POPULAR
EDUCATOR.”=
A SERIES OF LESSONS ON DRAWING has just been commenced, which in their
course will include the numerous branches of this beautiful art, namely,
the Human Figure, Architecture, Landscape, Animals, Machinery, &c. The
publication of these Lessons will entail a considerable weekly cost; as
it will include not merely the engagement of an eminent artist and
teacher to furnish the Lessons, but a heavy outlay for Engravings and
Diagrams to illustrate those Lessons. JOHN CASSELL can confidently
appeal to the readers of the POPULAR EDUCATOR as to the liberality with
which this work has hitherto been conducted. The contributions by the
eminent gentlemen who furnish the various Lessons, coupled with the
editing, involves a weekly outlay, the mention of the amount of which
would excite the astonishment of readers and students. And to this
outlay must be added, still further, the Maps, and the numerous
Engravings with which the Lessons are illustrated.
We are not disposed to utter one word of complaint; but we do trust that
while we are thus labouring to place within the reach of our students
and readers, every branch of valuable instruction, regardless of
cost—including several that could not be obtained but at a heavy expense
for books, &c.—we do hope, we say, that our friends will strengthen our
hands by using every possible means of enlarging the circle of our
patrons. There is not one of our Subscribers who does not possess
influence sufficient to obtain at least one additional Subscriber; let
that influence be exerted, and he will not only strengthen and enrich
the medium of instruction for himself, but will be the means of
diffusing the blessings of education to others. We confidently look
forward to a considerable increase of Subscribers from the date of this
announcement.
