TRyHE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE FOR Is45
| B PROSPECTUS FOR THE SECOND
| lYEAR.-At the close of his second volume-the
magazine having been commenced on the first of
January, IS44, the publisher finds himself irresist-
ABLY called on 10 express the satisfaction and graft
tude with which he has been filled by the brilliant
and unexampled success that lIas attended his en-
deavors to win the public favor. Notwithstanding
the difficulties disappontments and vexatons 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 outstanding the occasional short
comiugs, especially in the pictorial department,
which no care or diligence can avert, and no ex-
pend iture prevent, the Columbian Magazine has
gone on steadily increasing in support andpopuar-
/ ity from the opening number, ard # the tnbought
and unsolicited testimony of the press may be re-
ceived as unswayed by partiality aud unbiased 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
commencement of the enterprise. s7 %
| 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 general
literature that notwithstanding the failure Of many
previous attempts to establish such work, there
could be no impossibility Of success with sufficient
| r.
Capital perseverance and the right system Of man.
