YEyIfE proprjeiors. Of The GIiN'rL EMAN'S
-h- MAGAZINE are well aware that ]evo-
raj periodicals Of a somewhat similar charac-
Ter have been published in the West,Eand
that, after lingering through an ephcmetal y
.precarious ex stence, have been almost uni
formly abandoned They are filly convif-
ced. however, that the radical cause ofthese
failures consists mot SO much in the disin
clinaton of the enlightened people ofiliis
Western land TO encourage Home Liserr-
lure" as in fncl that the proprislcrs respec
lively have lacked adequate capital ioEcn-
sure firm foundation foe the work at Tho,
onset. This insuperable obstacle TO success
exists moi il the present Magazine, Wheh-
er il al first meels with The support which
its proprielors dare 10 anticipate, sill they
are determined that il shall appear regularly
for at least one year, on the first day Of eve
ry month; and in literary matter and ty
popraphca execution, shall not be nIeIio
TO any Magazine in this country. We arc
mol partial TO promises, knowing that tho

frmest resolutions; hnt we venture 10 assert
that The Gentlcman's Magazine will be ev-
cry thing which The progress Of the age,
both in Literature, Science, and the Fine
Ans, may require. .-and that il will be slclt
as the West may proudly regard as her own.
The Magazine will be under the ediisFial
control Of j. Milton Sanders, an elegant
fluent, and vigorous wriier-and John M
Harrington, who will take general charge
Of the review departmcnt. These gentle
men will devote their exclusive attention 10
the editing of The work, striving as much as
possible 10 procure vigorous, manly pro !uc-
lions, and avoid ihe corrnpling emanatons
Of that viii tied tasle, and sckly sentiment
ality, predominant in the Literature ofths
present day. Everything Of Scciarian or
Political nature, will be vigorously excluded
from IFS pages In word, il is the inien
ton Of our editors TO furnish their readers
with Tales, Essays, Poetry, etc, einbodying
strength, deph,, aud feryor Of thought, min.
glcd with the more brilliant, but not less
| pleasing, delicate, and relinsd illusions Iof
fancy and Imagination; and, therefore AZ
though Gcctlemdn's Magazine, ii is to be
hoped that the enlightened Lady will fpd
in its perusal much 10 commend and admire
The rapid growth Of the West within the
last few years, and the Still greater increase
of taste and refinement, requires a Magh
zine somewhat similar TO what the propne-
tors contemplate in the present. II is true
that Publications Of ihe East are widely dis
smnaled amongst us; but must we look
abroad for our literature, while the thousand
unwriten themes Of The broad West-iis no.
| bic forests, savage dehiZcns, and fierce bor-
der warfare-remainre TO develope them
selves, under The influence of native talent,
n all the Pleasing garbs Of romance and po.
csy? Ii would be inTidious to 'sert this
cognizInt as we are of tie feeling and pow
ers oflhe readers and writer's Of the West
| 1t will be The continued task ofhe Edii-
ors Of the Gcpileman's Magazine, 10 render
it ore Of ike highest order, relying as they
do upon the strong assurances of the con
lnued aid ofthe ablest minds in the land for,
its literary matter. ~ bh# H5'@
