THE NEW YORKER.
ouARTo EDITION.

Il encouraged by the generous and
steadily increasing patronage which has
hitherto rewarded their exertions, propose
to issue, from the commencement Of their
Third Volume on the Goth of March en-
suing, a new Double Quaro Edition of
their journal, not instead of but in addition
to that now published. Advertisements,
except possibly few of strictly literary
character, will be entirely excluded; and,
in addition to all the matter presented in
the folio New Yorker, the Quarto will
contain a page Of popular Music, &c. &c.
and be accompanied by handsome Title
Page and comprehensive Index at the
close of the Volume
I. General observation-disclosures Tales,
Essays, Reviews, Poems, &c. with cores
ponding Selections from the Quarterlies,
Monthlies. and all the better class Of p
riodicals, Foreign and American, with
choice extracts from new works of sub
stantial excellence. The editor acknowl-
edges with pride and gratitude his obliga-
ton to his regular contributors-and
among them are some whose Names have
shed lustre on the cause of American liter
ature-for the steadfast support hitherto
afforded him, and the confidence with
which he is now enabled to assurethe pub
lie that it will not soon be Withdrawn
He takes pleasure in recalling the fact
that, since the establishment of the New
Yorker, no one other journal has afforded
specimens in equal extent and variety, Of
the productions of all eminent American
writers of whatever section or clasS-a
characteristic which he hopes it may still
preserve; while his selections from the
best foreig On works have been exceeded
in quantity at least-by those of but three
or four among the myriad of cis-Atlantic
periodicals.
II. National politics.-It has been the
aim ofthe Editor to present full and fair
exhibit OF the aspects, movements and
struggles, of parties in our country, IN
Guiding the meeting of Conventions, NOM
nation of candidates for State and Nation
al Offices, and all other significant mani
festations of political feeling, with the gen
eral results of elections, as fast as aScer-
tanned, and the official canvass in each in
stance, as soon as it shall have reached
US. This course is believed to be in ma
ny respects original with this journal and
II is considered that we have Just cause of
felicitation in the fact that, pursued as it
has been through two years ofunremitted
political warfare, the fairness and general
accuracy of our statements and returns
have very rarely, if ever, been questioned
The Editor reserves to himself the right
! Of remarklng, as circumstances may seem
to require and justice dictate, on the less
exciting political topics of the day, as on
all others; with calmness, difference and
moderation; but he will still strive-he
trusts not less successfully than hitherto
to exclude from the columns of the New
Yorker every observation, reflection, or
even argument, which may wantonly do
violence to the sincere conviction of any
well-informed reader, of whatever princi-
pie or party.
III. General Intelhgence.-In this de-
partment we can onl y promise the most
unWearied industry and patience in the col
lection, condensation, and arrangement of
the news, Foreign and Domestic, which
may be gathered from the weekly recep-
ton of four hundred journals, including
some choice European periodicals, and
which may be afforded US by the attention
OF our friends abroad among whom are
our stated correspondents at Paris and
Mexico. Although the favors of these
last will generally wear a literary rather
than political aspect, we are vet Justified
in our confidence that no important intel
ligence which their position will enable
them to transmit US more succincty or
speedily than would otherwise reach US
willln any case be withheld.
Literary Notices, Statistics. Brief No.
tees of works of Art, Amusements, the
Drama, &c. &c. will from time to time be
given. AS general rule, however, It
will be the aim of the Editor to embody
such articles, whether original or select
ed, as shall at least combine instruction
with amusement.
