several periodicals Of IA somewhat similar
character have been published 10 the
West, and that, after lingering through
an ephemeral and precarious. existence,
have been almost uniformly abandoned.
| They are fully convinced, however, that
the radical canse of these failures consists
not so much in the disin clination Of the
enlightened people OF this Nertern Ian
to encourge "Home Literature" in the
fact that the proprieiors respectively have
lacked adequate capital TO ensure hrm
foundation for the work at the on set -

regularly for at least one year, on the

matter and topographic execution, shall
not be Inferior to any Magazine in this
country. We are not partial to promises
