| ~ TLtMAN'S MAGAZINE.--On the LIST Of
January le44, will be published, the first mum
Der of the COLUMBIAN LADY'S AND GEN
TLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, edited by JOHN In.
MAN, and filed with contributions from The most
eminent and accomplished writers of the country.
! The motives which have led to The comnence-
ncnt of this unde taliiug may be briefly stated =.
1t is believed by the proprietor that there is in
the United States an immense provision OF liter
airy ability for which rs yet tn, re is no adequate
encouragement or field of display; that besides
the numbers of clever and successful writers
whose productions are weekly, and monthly, and
annually read with delight by thousands, there
are yet greater numbers constantly arriving at
maturity of power who have only to appear on
the sragc of ublicaton to receive a brilliant
award of fame, and that the powers of those
whose names are already pronounced with res
pect BY lips of wisest censure are capable OF
more and still higher euertions than has yet
been called forth 1t is believed, too, that the
demand for literary production IN this country,
especially in the ridical canuel, exceeds the
supply in very large proportion, and that Lew
supplies have only to be presented of the right
quality and in the way to ensure a hearty vel
come and profitable reception. No doubt is
entertained of the American minds ability to
sustain itself, certainly on its own ground if moi
abroad, against all the competition that the
intellect of other lands can bring to the encoun
ter and full assurance is felt that among th!
mi lions of American readers there can be ant
is a cordial welcome for all that A mclean wri
ters can produce of excellent and interesting
, From these presses it is undoubtingly inferred
that there is abunaant room for another Maya
= zine, Notwithstanding the merit and success {
those already in beins that there can be n
la OH of To tic
s the reach of capital and liberal enterprise; an
that such a periodical will not fail to be greett
as a welcome visitor by thousands upon tho
sands who as yet have done little or nothii
s. toward the su pport and Development Of Amt
t. lean periodical literature.
-, A.. Another and strong motive has been the fe,
- ing that Few York, the first city of the Uuo
no should be the home Of a periodical owning
N superior in neither merit nor success.--Ihe G.
lumbar Magazine will be published on the fl
day of every mo, tn. Its mechanical arrang
ments will comprise the best paper, type a
