r TLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, edited by JonN ls'
MAN, aud filed with contributions from the most
eminent and accomplished writer, Of the country.
The motives which have led to the commence
ment of this under taking mry be briefly stated -.
II is believed by the proprietor that there Is III
the United States an immense provision of liter
airy ability for which ms yet there is no adequate
encouragement or field Of display; that besides
the numbers of clever and successful writer
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 srage of publication to receive q brilliant
award of fame, and that the powers OF those
whose names are already pronounced with res
pect By lips of wisest Ccnsure are capable OF
more and still higher cCcrtions than has yet
been called forth. 1t is believed, too, that the
demand for literary production IN this country
especially in the peridicai canuel, exceeds the
supply in very large proportion, and that new
supplies have only to be presented of the right
quality and in the way to ensure a hearty well
come and profitable reception. No doubt is
entertain, of the American minds ability TO
sustain itself, certainly on its own ground if no
abroad, against all the competition that tht
intellect of other lands can bring to the encoune

mi qions of American readers there can be and
S a cordial welcome for all that ,-efican wri.

From these presses it is undoubtingly inferred
that there is abunaant room for another Maga-
zine, Notwithstanding the merit and success of
those already in beins that there can be no
lack ofabilty to hll its pages ncceptably within
the reach of capital and liberal enterprise; and
that such periodical will not fail to be greeted
as welcome visiter by thousands upon thou
sands who as yet have done little or nothing
oward the support and development of Amer
can periodi cal literature.
Another and strong motive has been the feel
ing that Few York, the irst city of the Union,
should be the home Of a periodical owning no
superior in neither merit nor success The Co.
lumbar Magazine will be published on the frs
day Of every moth. Its mechanical arrange
ments will comprise the best paper, type and

Its contributors will be sought for among the
ablest and most popular writers in the country,
and no efforts will be spared to secure the aid of
those most distinguished, such as
