The Proprietors Of the GENTLE
MEMS MAGAZINE are W ell aware ,ha
several periodicals Of a somewhat similar
| character have been published in the
West, and that. after lingering through
| an epteiheral and precsrio1s existence
have been almost uniformly abandoned.
They are fully convinced, however, that
The radical cause of these failures consists
hot SO much in the dislnclinato0 ol the
enlightened people OF this Nerlern lanj
to encourge "iiome Literature. as ia the
fac hat the proprle,ors respectively have
lacked adequate capital to ensure firm
fuuno alton for the work at TIE on set -
This insnPerable obstacle TO success ex
lists not in the present Magazine. Wheth
er II at FIRST meets with the support which
ITS proprle'ors dare to aniclpale, sllil
hey are determined that il shall appear
regularly for at least one year, Gu the
first day of ever, month; and in lterar,
matter and topographic execution, shall
not be inferior to any Magazine in this
c u0try. We are n OF partial to promises,
knowing that the smallest circumstances
modify and alter the firmest resolutions;
but We venture to assert that The Gentle
mans .UGgastne will be every thing which
the p.+tgfesa oft age bo,h in Lilera-
tnte, Sclence, and the Fine Arts, ma,
jrequire- that 1t win be such as the
West may proudly regard as her own
The Magazine will be under the editorial
coutrol otJ Milton Sanders, well known
| a q q o. ,t,
-and John NJ Huntington, who will take
general charge of the Review depart
menl. These gentlemen w i'll devote their
exclusive attention to the editing of the
work, striving as much as possible to pro
cure vigorous, manly productions, and
avoid the corrupiiug emanaiions of that
vl,isl ed taste aud sickly seniiinentali,y
so predomIuanl in The literature of the
present day. Every thing Of Sec'aran
or Political nature, will nc vigorously ex.
| clnded from its pages. In word, il is
,he inteailon Of our editors to furnish their
readers with Tiles, ESSAYS, Poetry, etc.
embodying strength, dep'h, and fervor OF
thought, mingled with the more brilliant.
but not less pleasing, delicate. aud refined
efusion Of fancy and imaglnation; and
,herefore, although Gentleman's Maga.
zme, il is to be hoped that the enlighten.
ed Lady will Gnd in its perusal much to
CONNIE nd and admire. The rapid grow tn
of the West within the last few years.
and the still greater increase Of taste and
refinement, requires a Magazine some
what similar 10 what the proprietors con.
! template IN the present. 1t Is true that
| the Publications. of the East are widely
disseminate amongst us; but mnst we
look abroad for our literature. while the
| housand nwiitien themes of the broad
Wesi-its noble forests, savage denizens
and fierce border warfare--remain in read,
to develope themselves, nnder the lnhn
ence ofnatiye talent, 10 all the pleasing
garbs OF romance and poesy! would be
invldions to assert this cognizant as we
are OF the feelings and powers of the read
ers and writers of the West.
1t i'll be the continued task of the Ed
itors of Abe Gen,ieman's Magazine. to
render il one Of the highest order, rely
,ng as they do upon The strong sssuran ces
Of the continued aid of the ablest minds
in the land, for its literary matter.
