Volume OF their journal on the 2Ist of September
next, being the Eighth of the double Qaar,o Edi-
ton, and completing the Sixth year Of its publica-
ton in the Folio or common newspaper form.
i The New-Yorker is now so widely known as TO
render supefhuous any detailed delineafion of its
] character and objects. Suffice it here that the
work is intended to sustain the reputation of a
\ Weekly Literary Journal not inferior in ability and
3 standing to any on either side Of the Atlantic
Il About two-,hirds Of its columns are devoted TO the
4 best Original and Selected Literature, COMPRISING
I Reviews, Essays, (Scientiic and Literary, } Tales,

1 Of its friends, while it has secured The decided APP
prevail of an intelligent public. Such as it has been

will be added by arrangements now in progress. If
unwearied exertion and and a fixed resolve TO spare
no labor or expense which may tend to elevate the
character of their work can avail any thing. the I'M
undersigned are justified in cnerishing a confidence
that their journal will at any rate maintain the
standing it has already attained in the public esti-
nation. H.. GREELEY g. CO..
