Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1844-03-09

The motives whichhave led to the commencement Of
this undertaking may be briefly stated 1t is believed by
the proprietor that there is in the United States an i'm
Provision of literary ability, for which yet there
is adequate announcement, field of display; that be-
sides the great number of clever and successful writer's,
whose productions weekly, and monthly and annu--
ally read with delight BY thousands there vet greater
numbers constantly arriving 1turtJ of power, who
have only to appear the stage of publication 20 receive
brilliant award of fame and that the powers of those
whose names are already pronounced with respect by lips
Of wsest censure capable Of and still higher ex-
ertion than has yet been called forth. believed too,
that the demand for literary production in this country
especially in the periodical channel exceed he supply in
a very large proportion and that supplies have only
be presented Of the right quality, and in the right way,
hearty welcome and profitable reception. No
doubt is entertained of the American minds ability TO
sustain ltsef-cerany its ground, if abroad,
against all the competition that the intellect Of other lands
bring TO the encounter; and full assurance is felt that
among the millions of American readers there be- and

tably, within the reach Of capital and liberal enterprise;
and that such periodical will not fail to be greeted
welcome visitor by thousands and thousands who yet
have done little or nothing towards the support and de-
velopement of periodical literature.
Another and strong motive has been the feeling that N
