The motives which have led to the commence.
ment of this undertaking may be briefly stated
II is believed by the proprietor that there IS IN the
United States an immense provision oi literary
ability. for which as yet there IS no adequate en-
couragement, CT field of display; that besides ths
numbers of clever and successful writers, whose
productions are weekly, aud monthly, and annual
ly read with delight by thousands, there are ye
greater numbers constantly arriving at maiuu
of power. who have only 10 appear on the stag
of publication TO receive brilliant award 0.
fame and that the powers OF those whose names
are already pronounced with respect BY lips u
visest censure, are capable of more and stn
hipher exertion than has yet been called forth Il
is believed. too that the demand Tor literary pro-
ductlon in this country. especially IN the period.
cal channel exceeds the supply IN very lar.s
proportjon and that new supplies have only TO Ls
presented of the right quality, ana IN The rigE

reception. No doubt is entertained OF tue Amer.
lean minds ability 10 sustain ITSELF certainly "a

bring to the encounter; and full assurance IS ei
that among the millions OF American readers the,
can be. and is. a cordial welcome for all tha
interesting.

that there is abundant room for another Magaziuc.
notwithstanding the merit and success OF th0>i
already in being that there can be no lack Il
ability to fill its pages accePtably, within the reacr
of capital and liberal enterprise; and that such
periodical will not fail to be greeted as awecOm-
yisiter bv thousands upon thousands. who as ye.
have done little or nothing toward the support
and development of American periodical lltea-
ture.
I Another and strong motive has been the eeinc
that New York tie first city of the Union, sholia
be the bnne o! periodical owning nc superior l
