LITERARY GAZETTE.
NJ NOTWITHSTANDING the number of newspapers
L daily issued to the public in the District of Co
lunbia the undersigned under the impression that
s another is requisite in order to put the finishing
link TO the literary chain, Of they may be permitted
use hgure which will then encircle the sten miles
square OF the papers published here, with sol
tary exception-(snd that is of such a character
ms not to interfere in the slightest degree. with their
proposed punicauon)-Politcs is the beginning, the
middle, and the end-the order Of the day,s-io the
complete exclusion Of all reading Of more refined and
imaginative dcscription-those more polished and cIe-
CANT germs of litera,ure-which impart ips,rno,;on
while they give life and animation to the social CIRCLE
1t will be observed above, that the undersigned pro.
pose to depart somewhat from the beaten track of
other would-bc. as well ssf Editors in the
Districts and for that purpose, have determined TO de-
vote their time and talents, such they possess, en-
trely to The amusement and instruction OF f1rcr
poruon OF creation. Why this object has be Ell so lit
tie regarded by the conductors of the Press in the
uiree cities ia matter of surprise to every one. The
Undersigned viii not attempt to form a reason for this
heg'ec', lest prejudice might deem them unjust to
Others ot their profession II is fact that the ladies
OF the District of Columbia have evinced abundant Ib
crafty IN their subscriptions TO papers of this charac-
ter, published in the northern cities; circumstance
which shows that something of this kind is wanting
nearer home, to dispel ennui, and tho mind, i'm
tue hours OF relaxation from the engrossng
offemale life Why shall we not, then, without vani
", anticipate reasonable share of patronage from tie
marons and maids of District? In cal ryinp into
execution our proposed plan, we shall of course as
in duty bound, endeavor give unve sal satisfactou
five fall must look for indulgence from thosr
who, sure, will be always willing to extend II
to us, our fair patrons Our paper will be made up
principally OF Selections from the approved and
refined literary publications Of the present and by
gone days. and, while hope to exhibit such iude-
ment an these as to satisfy fair readers that we
have their Improvement as well as their amusement at
heart, we pledge ourselves that nothing viii appear in
our pages which shall the mantlng blush TO suf
fuse the fair cheek of the deicately modest we
have liberal promises OF assistance from several literary
1 nf hinl, linz
hope by their courtesy TO be able present TO our
readers, occasionally, choice Original Tale, and n
visit to the more ideal but not less beautiful regions OF
Poesy.
OF the "thousand-and-one" appclations peculiarly
suited to publication like the here proposed we
have chosen 'The Kaleidoscope" as mos, in un;sor
with our plan, which will be to give, at every turn a
constant succession of evervaryng still beautiful
and pleasing forms and reflections AS faint sketch
following analysis, ga priori:"
Popular tales essays, and sketches, original and Sc
Memoirs Of distinguished females, in the various de-
Partments of public and private life;
journal of the fashions home and foreign, in all
their vast varieties;
Excerpts, from the best authors;
Anecdotes, of the more refined cast witty sayings,
excellent thoughts, &c.,
Notices of the DRAMA criticisms ON popular perorrn
ers, &c.;
Original and we'll selected poetry, in which the nu-
rIty OF the legitimate Muse alone will be cherisbed
In pohtcs-without having any thing say in favor
OF any party, pledge ourselves 10 the unconditional
support the Ladies choice whenever fully and fairly
eXpressedi
And last, though not least, we propose to admit no
such only excepted as relate to affairs
in which our fair readers have all interest.
