THE COLUMBIAN
Lady's and Ge1uleman's Magazine,
EDITED BY JOHN INMAN

h H-Aad filed tcih Contributions from The most en-
d a"ent and accomplished ,oriterS Of the country.
q The motives which have led to the commence
s;ment Of this undertaking may be briefly stated.
BIT IS believed by the proprietor that there is in the
8 United States an immense provision of literary
sablty, for which as yet there is no adequate en-
Encouragement, or field OF display; that besides the
1numbers Of clever and successful writer's, whose
sproductions are weekly, and monthly and annual
. ly read with delight by thousands, there are vet
Kgreater numbers constantly arriving at maturity
sof power. who have only to appear on the stage
Sof publication TO receive a brilliant award of
flame; and that the powers of those whose names
sare already pronounced with respect by lips of
sWlsest censurs, are capable of more and still
{ higher exerton than has yet been called FORTH 1t
Els believed, too, that the demand for literary pro-
sducuon in this country, especially n the periodl !
Zeal channel exceeds The supply in a very large
sproportion, and that supplies have only to be
apresented OF the right quality, and in the right
! way to ensure hearty welcome and prohtable
PERCEPTION. No doubt is entertained of NE Amer
llcan minds ability 10 sustain itself certainly on
.its own ground, if not Acknowledgements all the
.competiIion that the intellect of other lands can
SbTing TO the encounter; and full assurance is felt
Sthat among the millions of American readers there
scan be, and is. cordial welcome for all that
American writer's can produce OF excellent and
y Interesting.
8 From these premises it is undoubtingly inferred,
5that there is abundant for another Magazine,
Notwithstanding the merit ard success of those
galready in being; that there can be no lack of
liability to ll Its pages accepably, within the reach
3of capital and liberal enterprise; and that such
gperiodical will not fail to be greeted as awelcome
Svister bv thousands upon thousands, who as vet
shave done little or nothing toward the support
Eand development OF American periodical litera-
] Hture.
B Another and strong motive has been the feeling
athat New York, the first city OF the Unon should
Hbe the home OF periodical owning no superior III
s either merit or success.
Il The Columbian Magazine will be published on
& the first day Of every month. It's mechanical ar
engagements will comprise the best of paper, type,
sand workmanship, thai money can procure.
a lis contributors will be sought for amongst the
Aablest and most popular writer's in the country
kand no efforts VIII be spared TO secure the aid of
/ the most distinguished such as

i With many of these, arrangements have airea-
b dy been made, as well as with others whose rep
Eutaon is sure, though vet 10 be established in the
Epubic regard. The proprietor entertains SAN
Equine hopes Of accomplishing an object to which
Ehe looks forward with pride-the secured co-ope-
hration Of regular and occasional contributors for
Emng a list unequalled in this country
Il In each number there will be two or more En-
agravings, after such artists as Chapman, Inaham,

Sand stipple, by II. S. Sadd, w. J.. Ormsby, &C.,
