year in themselves alone worth the
subscription to the work, will be con-

lar contributor TO its pages. 1t is
proper to state that Mr.. Brownson's
articles will be marked by his name;

doubtless reveal themselves By their
internal evidence; and that it has
been agreed, under the circumstances,
that these contributions shall be indie
pendent of the usual liability to edito-
rial revision and controi-,he author

guished ability by himself.
