vUyHE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE FOR Is45
IL PROSPECTUS FOR THE SECOND
YEAR.-At the close of his second volume-the
magazine having been commenced on the first of
January, 1884, the publisher finds himself irresist-
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 vexatons 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 hands--notwithstanding the occasional short
comngs, 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 and popular
ity from the opening number, aud If the unbought
and unsolicited testimony of the press may be re-
ceived as unswayed by partially and 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.
The publisher undertook the work with firm
ponvicton that the great city of New York was the
cest aud the true home for magazine of general
literature; that notwithstanding the failure of many
iirevious attempts to establish such work, there
could be impossbility of success with sufficient
capital, perseverance and the right system Of man.
agement both by publisher and editor; stimulatedlby
this conviction he embarked in the enterprise and
the result of the first year has proved that his udg
ment was correct
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 an experiment sub
stantally tried. We feel ourselves upon as firm
basis as any aimilar journal in the world. Our
principal cares regard not so much the securing
what ground we have gained (for we consider this
sufficiently secure)as the extention of sphere OF
action and utility, not so much even the mere en-
argement Of our subscription list, as the most suit
able modes of catering for the amusement and shall
we say occasionally for the proft of our subscrib-
ers in the present and in the future, the maEy 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 our friends with embellishments ofve-
ry superior taste style and finish In this respectit
is our firm purpose, if possible TO outvie all com
petition. Our music and engTavings, we confident
ly believe will not be equaed-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 eDgravings, independently of
