eminent and accomplished writer OF the country.
The motives which have led to the commence

1t is believed by the proprietor that there is IN
the United States an immense provision OF liter
AIRY ability for which as yet the is no adequate
encouragement field Of display; that besides
the numbers OF clever and successful writer
whose productions are weekly, and monthly, and
annually read with delight by thousands, there
IRE yet greater numbers constantly arriving at
maturity OF power who have only to appear Oh
ithe srage of publication TO receive Dr han
award of fame, and that the powers of those
whose names are already PRONOUNCED with res
more and still higher eueEtions than has yet
Ibeen called forth II is believed, too, that the
demand Tor literary production IN tiis country
especially III The p, rldlcaI canuel, exceeds the
supply IN a very large proportion, and that new

From these presses it Is und0ubungy inferred
that there is abunaant room Tor another Maya

those already i'll beinl; that there can be no
lack OF ability TO till its pages nCceptaby within
the reach OF capital and liberal enterprise; and
that such periodical will not iaIi to be greeted
as a welcome .isiter by thousands upon 'h1u-
sands who as yet have done little or nothing
oward the support and deyelopement OF Amer

Another and strong motive has been the fe = |
ing that Few York, the first city OF the Union,
should be the home OF a periodical owning 10

sanguine hopes of accomplishing an object to
which he looks occasional contributors forming
