1 PROSPECTUS FOR THE SECOND
YEAR.-At the close of his second volume-the
magazine having been commenced on the first of
January, 1874, the publisher finds himself rresist
ably called on to express the satisfaction and graft
tude with which he has been filled by the brilliant
and unexampled success that has attended his en-:
deavors to win the public favor. Notwithstanding
the difficulties, disappointments and vexations that
almost invariably follow the establishment of new
periodical, in the production of which there must
be the harmonious cooperation OF many heads and
many Observation-Disclosures the occasional short
comings, especially in the pictorial department.,
which no care or diligence can avert, and no ex-
penditure prevent, the Columbian Magazine has
gone on steadily increasing in support aud popular
y from the opening number, aud If the unbought
and unsolicited testimony of the press may be re-
ceived as unswayed by partiality aud unbiased, by
friendship, the efforts of contributors and editor
have been satisfactory to the public and accepted
as fulfilling the promises made for them at the
commencement of the enterprise. .r
The publisher undertook the work with firm
ponvcton that the great city of New York was the
cest and the true home for a magazine of general
literature; that notwithstanding the failure Of many
lirevIous attempts to establish such work, there
could be no mpossibility of success with sufficient
capital, perseverance and the right system OF man.
agement both by publisher and editor; stimulated by
this conviction he embarked in the enterprise and
the result Of the first year has proved that his udg
ment was correct. .. H. lt
1t has long ceased to be necessary or reasonable
that we should speak of the Columbian as an exper-
iment. AT all events it is now All experiment suti
stantiay tried. We feel ourselves upon as firm
basis as any aimilar journal in the world. Our
principal cares no,c regard not so much the securing
what ground we have gained (for we consider this
sufficiently secure)a, the extention ofour sphere OF
action and utility, not so much even the mere en-
argeIaent of our subscription list, the most suit:
able modes OF catering for the amusement (and shall
we say occasionally for the profit of our subscrib-
ers in the present and in the future, the mary whom
we have and the many more we shall undoubtedly
have as time rolls on.
We have made arrangements which will enable
us to present friends with embellishments of ve-
ry superior taste style and finish In this respectit
is our firm purpose, if possible 10 outvie all CON-
petition. Our music and engravings, we confident
ly believe will not be equalled--very certainly they
shall not be surpassed in real merit by those of any
other magazine. We propose TO give each month
two or more superb engravings, independently of
two pages of mmsic by the most eminent compos-
ers, and plate of authentic fashions
Regarding the literary and editorial conducts of
the Columbian, the publisher does not feel called
upon to say more than a very few words. The gem
era management of this department is, as hereto
fore, entrusted to a gentleman possessing every
qualification for the task, and who has given abun-
dant evidence, not only of the highest ability to,put
forth meritorous magazine, but of the ability to
put forth magazine exactly adapted to the taste
of our readers The publisher therefore has every
confidence that what has already been done for the
literary value of this journal will be done again.
We are perfectly willing that our future in this res
pect should be estimated by our past The subjoln-
ed list of those who have furnished articles for the
Columbian during the bygone eear will satisfy, we
feel assured, the most astdious that we are reso-
ne to spare in particular either exertton or ex-
pense.
