i pom entering the second of volume
u OF this pioneer in the introduction
OF papers of lis class, the publishers may
be excused for congratulating themselves,
upon the continued prosperity and adj
vancement of their PERIODICAL, from tho
issue Of its first number, to the present
time. Aware that competition is the life
OF business, they expected, and have met
with rivals-but those rivals have, so far,
been essential aids to the publicity -apd:
circulation of the jonathan. New readers
have been made, where, comparatively,
few existed before, and the taste created
for the elegant literature of the two hemis-
pheres, carried into all parts of the coun-
try, and made accessible to all, has pro.
duced demand for the Brother jonathan,
which it IS gratifying to state is constantly
on the increase.
With such addition to their resources
and emoluments, the publishers have AIM
ed 10 give commensure increase to. the.
value and interest Of their sheet. In adj
dition to the labors Of the gentlemen,
whose names are announced as editors,
the publishers avail themselves constantly
of the aid of such occasional contributors
as they can find space for.
For the foreign correspondence of the
Jonathan, the services of ISAAC c. PRAN,
j., have been engaged; and his fine lite-
rary tase will also be exercised in The se-
lection of things rae, new, and worthy
in the European literary mart. Selections
from the cream of the foreign magazines
will of course be continued.
