TLEMAN'S MAGAZlNE.-On the LIST Of

= TLEMAN'S MAGALlNE.-on the is' w
January 1874, will be published, the first mum
Der of the COLUMBIAN LADY'S AND GEN
TLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, edited by JoHN IL,
MAN. and filed with contributions from Che most
eminent and accomplished writers of the country.
The motives which have led to the 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 liter
ary ability for which as yet there is no adequate
announcement OF field OF display; that besides
the numbers of clever and successful writers
whose productions are weekly, and monthly, and
annually read with delight by thousands, there
are vet greater numbers constantly arriving III
maturity of power who have only to appear on
the srage of utilization to receive bri liant
award of fame, and that the powers of those
whose names are already pronounced with res
pect by lips of wisest censure are capable oil
more and still hi cher euertions than has yet
been called forth. 1t is believed, too, that the
demand for literary production in this country,
especially in the p'ridical 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 hearty well
come and profitable reception. No doubt is
entertained of the American minds ability to
sustain ITSELF certainly on its own ground If not
abroad, against all the competition that the
intellect Of other lands can bring to the encoun-

mi lions of American readers there can be ana
is cordial welcome for all that American VIII

From these preises it lie undoubtingly inferred
that there is abunaant room for another maya
zine, notwithstanding the merit and success OF
those already in helm. that there can be ne
lack ofability to fill its pages acceptably within
the reach of capital and liberal enterprise; and
that such periodical will not fail to be greeted
ms welcome visiter by thousands upon thou
sands who as yet have done little or nothing
0w ard the support and developement OF Amer
can periodical literature.
Another and strong motive has been the feel
ing that Few York, the first city of the Union,
should be the home of periodical owning no
superior in neither merit nor suCcess.--Ihe CO.
