TERMS.
THE UNITED STATES CATHOLIC MAGAZINE will be published regularly on
or before the first of every month. Each number will contain SIXTY-EIGHT PAGES Super
Royal Octavo. It will be printed in the neatest manner, on fine paper of a beautiful texture,
with NEW TYPE. The work will be delivered in the city, and mailed regularly to subscribers,
about the first of every month. Twelve numbers make a volume, each volume will com-
mence with the January number, at which time the year's subscription commences.
THE SUBSCRIPTION is THREE DOLLARS PER YEAR, payable invariably in advance,
(except for city subscribers, who have the privilege of paying half-yearly in advance, when
they prefer it.) No subscriptions will be received for less than twelve months, (commencing,
in all cases, with the January number,).and in no instance will the work be sent to any one,
unless the order is accompanied with the cash. The very low price at which the work is fur-
nished renders the payment in advance indispensable.
GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLERGYMEN, POSTMASTERS, CLUBS, AGENTS,
AND ALL PERSONS DESIROUS OF PROMOTING THE CIRCULATION OF
CHEAP LITERATURE.
Two Copies of the work will be mailed regularly for one
year, or one copy for two years, for - - - $5 Current money
Four Copies for one year, for - - - - 10 or its equivalent,
Ten Copies for one year, for ..... 20 paid in advance
These regulations are made in order to meet the wishes of reverend gentlemen and others)
desirous of patronizing the work, who reside at a distance, and find it difficult to transmit
sums less than $5. It is hoped that, by this means, the appointment of agents will no longer
be necessary ; at least in small country places, as the reduction in price will be a sufficient
per centage for postmasters and others who may interest themselves in procuring four or
more subscribers.
The risk in the transmission of subscriptions by mail will be assumed by the publisher,
provided the person transmitting sends the money regularly under the postmaster's frank.
N.B. Postmasters are authorized, and generally willing, to forward money for periodica
free of expense, when the letters are signed by themselves. Persons wishing to make r
mittances will, therefore, when it can be clone, write just what they want the postmaster
say for them, so that he will have no further trouble than to sign their communication.
All letters should be post paid and directed to " JOHN MURPHY, PUBLISHER,

RECOMMENDATIONS
From the many commendatory notices that have been taken of our Magazine, we make the
following extracts.
We earnestly recommend to the clergy and laity, the UNITED STATES CATHOLIC MAGAZINE, a Catholic
periodical to be published monthly in Baltimore. It is calculated to promote the honor of our holy religion
and will, we trust, have a place in every Catholic library. t SAMUEL, Archbishop of Baltimore
I hereby establish the U.S. Catholic Magazine my official organ of public communication with the clergy
and laity of the archdiocess of Baltimore. Should it become necessary to address them on any subject before
the regular period for the publication of the Magazine, an extra sheet will be issued, corresponding in
mansions and style with those of the periodical. t SAMUEL, Archbishop of Baltimore
Having within my jurisdiction no press through which to publish the official documents of the diocess
have selected for that purpose the United States Catholic Magazine, and as such recommend it earnestly
the reverend clergy and laity thereof. t RICHARD VINCENT, Bishop of Richmond
The undersigned wish to express their approbation of the manner in which the United States Catholic
Magazine has hitherto been conducted: and their confidence in the able and zealous directors who super
tend its pages, authorizes them to recommend it to the patronage of the faithful of their respective diocesses

"The work is conducted with great ability, and is considered a fair and able exponent of the doctrine
the church for which it speaks."—U. S. Gazette.
" The publisher appears determined to spare neither labor nor expense to make his publication worthy
patronage, and for neatness and beauty of typography, the number before us will advantageously company
with any periodical in the country."—Pittsburg Star.
" This periodical is a diamond of the first water. Every single line of its contents is valuable, and provide
both the anxiety and ability of the Rev. gentlemen who conduct it to please, and their power to do so. No
thing is admitted into the columns of this Magazine, whether selected or original, that is not unexceptiona-
ble, and therefore worthy of the profound aud cultivated minds before which it is to pass in review."—NE
