prospectus for the Fourth Volume.
' ME reception which each succeeding volume
Il OF the Columbian Ladys and Genteman's
Magazine has met WITH has been so Hattering, that
the publishers greeting to his patrons at the COM
mencement of another volume, differs from former
salutations, only in the fervency of his acknowl-
edgments OF their favOrs. His is indeed, most
grateful task, most agreeable duty. He has to
speak OF success, and of success alone. From its
establishment, in January, 1914, the Columbian
Magazine has been favored with patronage perhaps
unexampedin the early history of any monthly
periodical. Its earliest numbers obtained for it a
high reputation, and it has known no reverses but
under constantly increasing patronage, it has
reached proud position, which 1t will be the pub
fishers aim to retain. It's demonstrated that
New York can and will sustain a well-conducted
magazine of general literature
The publisher believes that he rightly estimates
the causes of the popularity which his magazine
has reached. He did not attempt its establishment
without first counting the cost, and he confidently
appeals to the former volumes as evidence that in
the embellishments and in all things appertaining
to the publishers province he has not heen chary
OF expenditure. 10 this liberality on his part he
believes he may attribute, in some degree, the ex-
tensive patronage and favor that have been award
ed to the Columbian. This course he will continue
|
continue to outvie all competition. Our engra-
wings and music shall certainly not be surpassed in
real merit by those of any other magazine. Our
fashion plate will always be authentic.
| The publisher fortunate also in securing the
editorial services OF gentleman whose reputation
ensured the confidence both of contributors and
readers. That gentleman has given abundant evil
dence of the highest ability to put forth truly
popular magazine. With him, at the commence
ment of the third volume, was associated, in the
editorial charge of the Columbian, a gentleman
we'll qualified by his ability and experience for the
successful discharge of that duty. The publisher
therefore, has every confidence that what has al
ready been done for the literary value of the mag
azne, will continue 20 be DONE and that this grou
of its popularity will he in no wise diminished.
10 the list of those who have furnished articles
for the Columbian the publisher refers with heart
felt satisfaction, assurance that eXertions
or expense have been spared to secure the best
writers.
