EDITED BY JOHN INMAN,
And filed uith Contributions from the most en-.
anent and accomplished wrtters 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 literary
ability. for which as yet there is no adequate en-
couragement. or field of display; that besides he
numbers of clever and successful writers, whose
productions are weekly, and monthly, and annual.
ly read with delight by thousands, there are yer
greater numbers constantly arriving at maul.ty
of power. who have only TO 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 oi
wisest censure, are capable of more and ST..
higher exerton than has yet been called forth. h
is believed TOO, that the demand for literary pr1-
ducton in this country, especially IN the period
cal channel, exceeds the supply IN very aree
proportion, and that new supplies have only 10 ie
presented of the right quality, and IN the rIz.,
way, TO ensure hearty welcome and proGlaa
reception No doubt is entertained of the Ans
lean minds ability TO sustain ITSELF certainly o.,
its own ground, If not abroad-against all TO-
competition that the intelleci of other lands r,l
bring to the encounter; and full assurance Is tt
that among the millions of American readers th,5-
can be, and is. a cordial welcome for ali l.a
American writer's can produce Of excellenl aai
interesting.
From these premises it is undoubtingy infe-rc'
that there is abundant room for another Maeazrr
notwithstanding the merit and success Q! ihpa
already in being that there can be no lara c
ability to fill its pages acceptaby within the eac
of capital and liberal enterprise; and that SCc
periodical will not fail TO be greeted awerons
visiter bv thousands upon thousands, who as
have done little or nothing toward the sHPpE
and development of American periodical !.;=..-
ture.
Another and strong motive has been the fse,a- /
that New York, the first city of the unicn ahog.i
be the home o.! periodical owning TO superior q
either merit or success.

the first day of every month. Its mechanical az
rangements viii comprise the best OF paper, lyP
and workmanship. that money can procure.
