EDITED BY JOHN INMAN AND ROBERT A. WEST.
Prospectus for the Second Year.
At the close of his second volume, the magazine
hav,no beer commenced on the first of January,
lS44. the publisher finds himself staoiy call
ed on to express the satisfaction and gratituoe
with which he has been filed by the brilliant ana
luneyampled success that has attended his endea-
yors to win the public favor. notwithstanding
the difficulties disappointmens and veyations 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 occasion
al shortcomings, especially in the pictorial de-
partment, which no care or diligence could avert
and no expenditure prevent, the Columbian Mag
azine has gone on steadily increasing in support
and popularity fom the opening number. and 1t
the unbought unsolicited testimony OF the press
NAV be received as unswayed by partlality and
unbiased by friendship the efforts OF contributors
and editors have been satisfactory TO the pubic
and accepted as fulfilling the promises made ioi
them at the commencement of the enterprise.
The publisher undertook the work with firm
| conviction that the great city of New York was
the best and the true home for magazine OF gen.
era literature that notwithstanding the failure of
many previous attempts to establish such a work,
there could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital perseverance and the right Sys-
TEN of management both bv publisher and editor
stimulated by this conviction lie embarked in the
enterprize and the result the first year has proved
that his judgment was correct.
| II has long ceased to be necessary, or reasona-
BILE, that we should speak of the Columbian
experiment. At all events, it is now an expert
ment substantially tried We feel ourselves upon
as firm basis as any similar journal in the world
Our principal cares now regard not much The
securing what ground we have gained (tor we con-
slider this sufficiently secure) as the extension OF
our sphere OF action and utility-no much. even,
the mere enlargement of our subscrpton-llst, as
the most suitable modes of catering for the amuse
ment (and shall we say occasionally for the prof
il y Of our subscribers in the present and in the
ifuture-the many whom we have, and the many
more shall undoubtedly have as time rolls OH.
We have made arrangements which will enable
US TO present friends with embellishments of
very superior taste, style and finish. In this re-
spect it is firm purpose, if possible, to outvie
all competition. Our music and engravlngs, we
confidently believe. will not be equaed-very GER
tainly they shall net 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 music by the most
eminent composers, and plate of authentic fashions.
| Regarding the literary and editorial conduct of
the Columbian. the publisher does not feel called
upon to say more than very few words. The
general management OF this department is confded
evidence, not only of the highest ability to put
| forth meritorious magazine and one exactly
adapted TO the tastes of ali readers, with whom is
associated another gentleman Of ability and expe-
rience. The publisher, therefore, has every con-
| fidence 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 re.
spect should be estimated by our past. The sub
Joined list of those who have furnished articles for
the Columbian during the by gone year, will sat-
isfy, we feel assured, the most fastdous, that we
are resoute to spare, in particular, either ex-
er,ion or expense.
