work, entitled the
NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

Inc readers Of the New. England Maya
S,"e VIII perceive that il is arranged on 4
pun somewhat different from that Of any pe-
1,ooicu' Work now published in the United
states. u does no. consequently. assume to
oe ,Ivai 10 any existing public alton. II ia
'n'enceo 10 occupy Q station in the ranks Of
american periodicals., which seemed TO be-
vacant ana 10 ask for no other portion of the
popular 'avor than It may be thought to de-.
serve' independent OF all its cotemporaries.
Inc present number exhibits the model
which II 10 proposed to follow in arranging
the materials of the succeeding ones, rather
!han the composition and quality of the ma.
terial itself. We believe. however. thar th;.
specimen will not suffer in any respect on a
fair comparison with its predecessors. that
have blossomed, been cnbaled. and poneD to
oblivion. or with it's coteinp poraries. that are
sailing ION the full tide of successful exoeri.
ment," cheered and sustained by the inyieor.
atlng air OF popularity, and already within
sailing distance Of the port Of immortslity.
We make no promises of improvement,
out we entertain hopes that as the New En-
gland Magazine shall increase in age, il NAV
go on iron strength to strength" ill it shall
attain vigorous manhood. Gentlem men Of
education and talent, whose names we do not
feel at liberty TO make public, some who have
already enjoyed the voluntary appreciation Of
the public in its fullest frution, have enpsg.
ed to become contributors. On the fulfil.
ment OF these engagements we place the
most perfect reliance, and such fulflment
will enable us TO select for future numbers
from much more copous supply OF msteri,
els. Contributions of original papers are 20.
llcitcd--not grat,.iiousiy- y-for we intend to
pay for those which we publish, and. Of
course, while we open our hand 10 receiue-
on such terms,we shall feel no hesi alton lure
Jechng whatever we may deem unsuitable to
our purpose.
In the second department Of the Na-azins.
entitled MONTHLY RECORD, there will be-
found, besides copious notices of recent prb
lications, political and statistical notices, be.
leved to be worthy OF preservation, and rse
ful tor reference in form more convenient
than that OF common newspaper. A selec.
ton OF interesting facts, which it is not con.
venlent TO arrange under descriptive heads.
are th'own pTomscuously together under the
general title Of Miscellanies. These srticles
are derived, mainly, from the newspaper and
ether Journalist sources, which, being open TO
oil, are not often quoted, nor always known.
| " any credit be due to this portion Of the
| Magazine, and it is believed that il will not
be thought useless by readers in general, il
amounts 10 no more than fhe praise which in.
| dustry may always claim for being a gstherer
| OF scraps and fragments. and placing them
| where they may be found when called for.
The Literary Ho'ices are prepared expressly
tor this work, and are, intended to afford q
glance at our current national literature,
without assuming the form Of elaborate crti.
cism, or aiming at the authoritative dignity
OF quarterly review.
| The work may be seen. at the bookstores
OF the Agents, where subscriptions will be
received. J. T. e. E. BUCKINGHAM.
