,1yHE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE FOR 1916.
PROSPECTUS FOR THE SECOND
YEAR.-At the close Of his second voume-the
magazine having been commenced OH the first OF
January, 1874, the publisher finds himself irresist-
ably called to express the satisfaction and grati
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, di,appointmens and vexaons that
almost invariably follow the establishment OF new
periodical, in the production of which there must
he the harmonious cooperation OF many heads and
many yhands-notwithstanding the occasional short
comings, especially in the pictorial department.,
which no or diligence can avert, and no ex-
pend iture prevent, The Columbian Magazine has
gone on steadily increasing in support and popular
ity from the opening number, and IT the unbought
aud unsolicited testimony of the press may be re,
ceived as uuswayed by partiaity and urbiassed' 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
commenc ement OF the enterprise.
The publisher undertook the work with firm
ponyction that the great city of New York was the
cest aid the true home for magazine OF general
literature; that notwithstanding the failure of many
lirevIous attempts to establish such work, there
could be no impossibty Of success with sufficient
capital, perseverance and the right system OF man.
agement both by publisher and editor; stmulatedby
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 il is now All experiment sub-
stantiay tried We feel ourselves upon as firm
basis any amilar journal in the world. Our
principal cares n0tc regard not so much the securing
what ground we have gained (for we consider this
sufficiently secure the extention Of our sphere oi
action and utility, not so much even the mere en-
largement of our subscription list, as the most suit
able modes of catering for the amusement (and shall
we say occasionally for the proht) of our subscrib-
ers in the present and in the future the maEy whom
we have aud 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
nv superior taste style and finish. In this respectt
is our firm purpose. if possible to outvie all eom-
petition. Our music and engravings, we confident
ly believe will not be equaled-very certainly they
shall not be surpassed in real merit, by those any
other magazine. We propose to give each month
two or more superb engravinss. independently of
two pages of mmsc by the most eminent compos-
or and nIate of authentic tashions
Regarding the literary and editorial conducts OF
the Columbian, the publisher does not feel called
upon to say more than very few words. The gen.
eral management of this department is, as hereto
fore, entrusted to gentleman possessing every
qualification for the task, and who has given abun-
dant evidence, only of the highest ability olput
forth meritorious magazine, but OF the ability to
put forth a magazine exactly adapted to the taste
of our readers. The publisher therefore has every
confidence 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 res
pect should be estimated by our past The suboln-
ed list of those who have furnished articles tor the
Columbian during the bygone year, will satisfy, we
feel assured. the most tastidous that we are reso-
Ite to spare in particular either exerton or ex-
pense.
