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

lar contributor 10 its pages. 1t is
proper 10 state that Mr.. Brownson's
articles will be marked by his name;
though TO most readers they would
doubtless reveal themselves by their
internal evidence; and that it has
been agreed, undert the circumstances,
that these contributions shall be indie
pendent ofthe usual liability TO edito-
rial revision and control-the author
alone having a similar responsibility
for whatever popularity of viewsthey
may contain, as though appearing in
the original work which has been
heretofore edited with such dislin-
guished ability by himself.
Among other attractive papers in
preparation for the forthcoming vol
ume, will be found some personal
sketches, "reminiscences, and anec-
dotes of the private life of General
Jackson, from the pen of an intimate
friend and member of his Cabinet.
