TIME motives which have led 10 the COM
l. mencement of this undertaking may be briefly
stated 1t is believed by the proprietor that there
| is in the United States an immense provision of
literary ability, for which as yet there is no ade-
quate encouragement, or field OF display; that
besides the numbers of clever and successful
writers, whose productions are weekly, and
monthly, and annually read with delight by thou

appear on the stage of publication to receive a
brilliant award of fame; and that the powers of
those whose names are already pronounced with
respect by lips of wisest censure, are capable of
more and still higher eXerton than has Yet been
called forth 1t is believed, too, that the demand
for literary production IN this country especially
in the periodical channel, exceeds The supply in
a very large proportion, and that new supplies
have only to be presented of the right quality,
and in the right way, to ensure hearty welcome
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 encounter; and full
assurance is felt that among the mill IONS of Amer
lean readers there can be, and is, cordial well

From these premises it is undoubtedly inferred,
that there is abunuant room for another Maya

those already in being; that there can be no lack

reach of capital and liberal enterprise; and that
such periodical will not fail TO he greeted as a
welcome vister by thousands upon thousands,
who as yet have done little or nothing toward
the support and development of American period
ica literature.
Another and strong motive has been the feel
ing that NewYok, the first city of the Union,
should be the home of periodical owing no
superior IN either merit or success.
The Columbian Magazine will be published on
the first day of every month. Its mechanical
arrangements will comprise the best of paper,
