VWHE title of the proposet publication, will at

Of tia mind, Which daily spring up in the literary
cit. AMI to preserve from decay the numerous buds
OF genius, which thrown, hike fugtives, upon tho
bleak and dos date common of the world
II ~ subject Of surprise and regret, IF not of
reyrooch) TIN. Richmond, The NETT ,polis Of Virginia,
where the political wisdom aud much of the literary
talent of ts State, are annually c"ngregated, has
papss sohly devoted TO the Of literature. The
undersigned feel confident that an appeal to the lite
rpry prize Of the City and State, is only wanting, TO
psm,vg, speedily, this reproach. Can it, for mo.
rpent, be matter Of donb, whether a periodical Of
this sort will meet with suppor,! Shall it be said
OILY cngrnssns topics? Are the efforts of the intel
Iec to be hubled and thrown the grosser

cnntinue to io"k entirely to other Cities aud other
States, for mental utrnent? Surely not. Richmond
has within her limits souls susceptible Of ennobpg
enro inns and pens capable OF portyaying end giving
lite to the burning thoughts OF the brain. Her y.ung
and her fair daughters, not inecnsble to the
not dcsdened by the cnervating influence of a mild
and tickle climate; they destitute Of that spirit
OF libcral'ty winch alone can cheer and susfuin a
CLEANER in the field Of literature.
The culture Of tile mind Is obviously amongst the
6r,1 OF social duties; and give relish to this
culture, means diversified as the operations of
thou1ht must be employed Experience has taught
us that our mental exercises must bs tfeed with
novelty and freshness and in order render the sober
reflections of philosophy endura ble the gos.amer webs
Of hncy must occasionally be spread before us. Life
t be represented in all its varied aspec,s-its SOM
bre rrnnes frightened and relieved by the gilded I'M
aots Of the inn ynation.
To the hirer part Of creation the publishers would
alphabetically appeal The Ladies Department will
be an object Of Peculnr care; and by their smiles
JfuDHs will their prospects flourish or fade. They
cannot permit themselves to bulieve, that those
who have in charge the Intellectual prosperity of
the rising generation, who have it so compile, ely

direction to the energies OF the infant mnd-who,
IN short influence and give tone society viii look
with indifference upon work like this.
