IL .---PROSPECTUS FOR THE SECOND
YEAR,--At the close of HE second voiume--the
magazine having been commenced on The first Of
January, 1874, the publisher finds himself rrcsis-
ably called on to express the satisfaction snderati.
tude with which he has been filled byithe brilliant
and unexamped success that has istteuded his en-
deavors to winthe public favor, Notwithstanding
the difficulties, dsappointments and vexati0ns that
almost invariably follow the establishment Of new
periodical. in theproduction of which there must
be the harmonious cooperation Of many heads.snd
many hands--notwithstanding the occasional short
comings, especially in the pictorial department,
which no care or diligence can avert, and no ex-
penditu prevent, the Columbian Magazine has
gone on steadily increasing ip support apd POPULAR
ity from the opening number, and If the ,unbought
and unsolicited testimony Of the press may be re-
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
conviction that the great city Of New York wasthe
best and the true home for a magazine of general
literature; that notwithstanding the failure Of many
previous attempts to establish such work, there
could be no impossibity of success with sufficient
capital. perseverance, and the right system ofman-
agement both by publisher aud editor; stimulatedby
this conviction he embarked in the enterprise and

Regarding the literary aud editorial conducts Of
the Columbian, the publisher does not feel called
upon to say more than avery few words. The gen.
era management of this department is, as hereto
fore, entrusted to a gentleman possessing every
qualification for the task, and who has given abup-
liant nf hest ability tor,
forth mefitorious magazine, but of the ability TO
put forth magazine exactly adapted to the taste
of our readers. The publisher thereforehas every
confidence that what has already been done for the
literary value of this journal will be done again.
We are perfectly willing that future in this res
pect should be estimated by our past The subjoin-
ed list of those who have furnished articles for the
Columbian during the bygone year, will satisfy, we

With the aid of these contribusors (of whom it
is needless 10 say one word in the way of commen-
