THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL,
AND NAVAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE.

OSPICTUS.

In sontemplating the efforts of the Bo itish arms during
a struggle which has no parallel in tandem history, and in
'which both branches of the Service surpassed all their
for Mer sehievements, it cannot but be a subject of surprise
that the Army and Navy of Britain, to which the.country
(tyres so large a share of its pre-eminent prosperity and
glory, should not have hitherto possessed a distinct publi-
cation of suitable frequency, as a channel for their corn-
inunieations, and as a record of their proceedings and ex-
ploits. To supply this deficiency, to concentrate in one
focus the scattered rays of information relative to the two
professions, and to furnish a medium for the preservation
of many valuable details which might otherwise be lost,
the United Service Journal has been projected.
It would be imposeible, within the narrow compass of
this announcement to enumerate all the subjects which this
Miscellany is designed to embrace. Conducted by Officers
in his Majesty's Service, who have ensured the effective co-
°Peration of Gentlemen of high professional and literary
character, it will be uniformly animated by the same ardent
spirit of patriotism and loyalty which achieved the triumphs
of .Trafalgar and of Waterloo ; and while it upholds that
even-handed discipline, which is the bond and charter of
all armed bodies, and without which, indeed, they cannot
bong 'subsist, it will lend its best efforts in furtherance of
every measure calculated to promote the true interests, and
to improve the condition of both Departments of the Service.
The contents of the work will naturally divide themselves
into several beads, among the principal of which will be the
following :
. .

Original Communications and Papers on all Subjects of
General Interest to the Army and Navy. For this de-
Pertinent the Conductors expect to be favoured with the
Correspondence of many distinguished Officers, who are
seeable of furnishing new and important information eon-
,eerning the splendid events in which they have borne a
party as well as the more familiar and deeply interesting
Nirratives of individual adventure. It will contain also
discussions on topics connected with the more scientific
Pursuits of the two professions, such as Fortification, En-
gineering, Navigation, Naval Architecture, and Tactics in
general ; plans of proposed improvements, and hints tend-
ing to promote the health, comfort, and well-being of our
warriors of all classes, whether actively employed against
the enemies Of their country, or reposing in peace under
their well-earned laurels.;
