Various
Questions and answers -- Periodicals
with the above title, will be issued on Saturday, 7th January, 1854.
Resembling the existing Work in its external form, the new one will exhibit
such fresh features as will afford, it is hoped, a pledge of the wishes of
MESSRS. CHAMBERS to adapt their efforts to the improving tastes of the age.
In particular there will be presented a higher class of Fiction, commencing
with a
TALE OF MODERN LIFE,
by MR. LEITCH RITCHIE, which will be continued in weekly chapters till
completed; also a
MONTHLY REVIEW OF THE LIBRARY AND STUDIO,
in addition to a Monthly Record, still more carefully drawn up than
formerly, of the
PROGRESS OF SCIENCE AND THE USEFUL ARTS.
Among expected contributions of importance, may be mentioned a series of
Articles on
THINGS AS THEY ARE IN AMERICA,
by MR. WILLIAM CHAMBERS, who is at present travelling in the United States
and Canada, for the purpose of personal inquiry observation.
It will be the constant study of the Editors to maintain in the New Work
all those general features which for Twenty-two Years have given their
Journal its extensive popularity--a cheerful Light Literature,
comprehensive Information, sound Ethics, and enlightened views of a
Progressive Social Economy, without the admixture of controversial matter
of any kind.
Issued in Weekly Numbers, at 1½d.
-------- Monthly Parts. at 7d. and 8½d.
-------- Half-yearly Volumes. at 4s. 6d.
