EDITED BY JOHN INMANi
And filed s0ith Contributions from the most
Eminent and Accomplished Writer'S
of the Country.
The motives which have led to this undertaking may
be briefly stated. Ii is believed by the proprietor that
there sin the U. S. immense provision OF literary
ability for which yetthere is no adequate encourage
ment or field of display; that besides the number OF
clever and successful writer's, whose productions are
weekly and monthly, and annually read with delight by
thousands there are yet greater numbers constantly ar
irving at maturity fpower, who have only 10 oappeA
on the stage of publication 10 receive brilliant award
of fame and that the power of those whose names are
already pronounced with respect by lips OF wlsest cen
sure are capable of more and still higher eXerhon man
has yet been called forth. 1t is believed too that the
demand for literary production IN this country,
ally in the periodical channel, exceeds the supply in
very large proportion and that new supplies have only
TO be presented of the right quality and in the ngh
way, to ensure hearty welcome and profitable recep
ton. No doubt is entertained OF the Amencah mhd
ability to sustain itself-cerainly on its own ground
if not abroad-agains all the competition that the IN
ellect of other lands bring to the encounter ana
full assurance is felt that among the millions OF Auerl-
can readers there be and is cordial welcome LOT
all that American writers can produce Of excellent and
interesting.
From these premises it is undoubtedly inferred, that
there is abundant for another Magazine, nowlth-
standing the merit and success of those already IN beng
THAT there can be no lack of ability to fill 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 vsiter by thousands, upon thousands
who as vet have done little nothing toward the sup
port and deveopemen of American periodical htera-
f lure.
Another strong motive has been the feeling, that New
York the first city of the Union, should be the home
ola periodical owning no superior in either merit OF
! success 500
! first dav of every month. Its mechanical arrangements
will compromise the best ofpape type, and workman

Its contributions will be sought for among the ables
and most popular writers in the country ana no eoIt
