PROSPECTUS OF THE
Western Literary Journal,
AND
MONTHLY REVIEW.
JoL. 2-TERMs $3.

fOb' zS-IEhhs s9sbs
TUVHE first volume of the Journal and Review
III is now completed. For many reasons we
feel greatly strengthened for the commencement
of the second. We are satisfied from the reception
of the work thus far that its merits are appreciated
and that the people Of the South and West are fully
aware of the great benefit and credit that would
accrue 10 our magnificent country from literary
periodical of substantial and elevated character
We at first projected such work, and believe the
Press both East and West approve the judgment
with which it is conducted While one has pro-
nounced it second only to the "SoutherssI literary
Messenger" afforded al S., another has declared
it inferior to meme in the Union. While one has
given it an equal rank with that sterling SO work,
the ''Knickerbocker," another has placed it infn-
itely above those splendid magazines which COM
mand the most popular favor. If such be the rep
utation Of the Journal in its infancy we think much
more can be expected from its manhood. What
western man would not rejoice to see periodical
breathing the spirit and testing the power of the
western mind? Who does not acknowledge the
great benefit resulting from literary journal that

any man can look at this splendid production, this
