ADDRESS. In beginning with the New Year a new volume of this Magazine, the Editress feels no common thanks are due to the kind and valued Contributors, be they personal Literary Friends or Literary Correspondents, whose talent has enriched her pages, and made light her task, since the work came under her superintendence. With honest pride she trusts she may affirm, what the Newspaper Press has in many quarters declared, that the New Monthly Belle Assemblée ranks, in point of Literary merit, beside the most popular Magazines of the day; and in honesty of purpose to make it healthful, instructive, and amusing, it yields to none. To the Fashion department especial attention will be paid, and a glance at the Contributors to the present number may afford an earnest of the assistance promised for 1845. To courteous Readers and kind Contributors the Editress begs gratefully to offer the "Compliments of the Season," wishing them many happy New Years." 24, Norfolk-street, London, January 1st, 1845. |
