from the m IS! eminent and accomplished writers

The motives which have led 10 tho commence
ment of this undertaking may be briefly stated.
1t is believed by the proprietor that there is in
the United States an Immense provision OF hLeri-
ry ability ior which yet there IS no adequate
encouragement or field Of display; that brsidcs
the numbers OF clever and successful writers
whose productions are weekly, and monthly. and
annually read with delight by thonslndS there
are vet greater Numbers constantly arriving NJ
inatu'itV Of power who have o'llv 10 appear
the stage Of publication to receive brilliant a.
ward of fame, and That the pow rs OF those
who's" names are already promo mcc' nth res
poet ny lips Of wiS'st "cuSpre are rApfhlr nj more
ana still a,rhrr cvr~,jDaS than has yet b'rn cal
ted 'pr'h II is believed, too ,Aat the dontnl
10 !ti r.v q q" c' ION IN dis country, cSprIa!ly
III tie p.r.o i'I raaane,. exceeds the supply in
81 vr-v l,rr.. pr.pp'tiur. and thHt new supplies

in ~. gAt way to cnslre hearty welcome and
pruGl ne reception. n" doubt is entertained
Of thr American minds ability TO sustain itself,
certainly on It's own ground il not abrOld, against
nh the compoiilon thai the intellect Of other
lands can bring to the encounters and full as
s'iraucr Is irl that among the millions OF Amer
lean readers there can be and is cordial wei
come for ali that American writers can produce
of cNrcil,nt and interesting. From these pre-
misses it is undunhlingIy inferred that there IS
abundant room for another Mag ,2nc, nolwth-
standing the merit and success of those already
il being; That there can be no lack oil ability to
fill lis pagcs acreptibly within the reach OF clpi-
tai and liberal enterprise; and that such peri
odira Will not fail to I've greeted as a welcome
vist"r 10y thousands upon thousands who as yet
have done iuIo nothing toward the support
and development Of American periodical lltera-
lure.
Another and strong motive has been the feel!
ing that New York, the first city Of the Unen,
should he the home Of periodical owdiIes no
superior in neither merit nor surCess.-IHE
CoIrMBlAN MAGAZINE Will he published on the
