And filed nth Contributions from the most
Eminent and accomplished Writer'S
of the Country.
The motives wsch have led 10 this undertaking may
be briefly stated. 1t IS believed by the proprietor that
there is in the T. 5. immense provision OF literary
ability, or which yet there is adequate encourage
ment or field of display; that besides the number OF
clever and successful writer's, whose productions arc
weekly, and monthly, and annually read with deghtby
thousands there yet greater numbers constantly ar
irving at maturity Ofpower, who have only TO appear
on the stage of publication receive brilliant award
of fame and that the power of those whose
already pronounced with respect by lips of wises
sure are capable of more and still higher exefton than
has yet beou called forth Ii is believed, too, that the
demand for literary production in this country Sespec
ally in the periodical channel exceeds the supply in
very large proportion, and that supplies have only
be presented Of the night quality, and in the right
way, ensure hearty welcome and profitable recep-
ton. No doubt is entertained of the American minds
ability sustain itself-cerainly its own ground
if not otabroad-agains all the competition that the in
tellect of other lands bring to the encounter and
full is felt that among the millions Of Ame
can readers there be and is cordial welcome for
all that American writers produce Of excellent and
interesting.
From these premises it is undoubtedly inferred, that
there is abundant for another Magazine, notwth-
standing the merit and of those already nbeng
that there can be lack of ability to Gil its pages ac-
ceptably within the reach of capital and liberal enter
prise and that such periodical will not fail to be greet
ed as welcome visier by thousands upon thousands,
who as vet have done little nothing toward the sup
port and developoment of American periodical htera@
lure.
Another strong motvehas been the feeling, that New
York the first city Of the Union, should be the home
ofa periodical owning superior in either merit or
success.
The Columbian Magazine will be published on the
first day of every month Its mechanical arrangements
win compromise the best ofpaper, type, and workman
