of the choicest Amerit an literature entirely oriy-
nal, and ol the most costly oIig nal embellishments
The Columbian Magazine enters upon a new
year with prospects Increasingly bright and rrou,.
l-ng. il has attained u pl oud pos ilion IN thu
public estimation. The press universally, and
with generous kindness which the Progr.etor
gratefully Acknowledges, has borne testimony TO
The superiority OF lis literature, and tie pro usion
and elegance oI its embellishments; while i;- iul.
mense and constantly increasing circulation shows
that the press has but uttered the general sen:i-
mAnt, and affords such agreeable evidence that il
lss met the expectation of all, that il seems to
the publisher almost unnecessary to speak OF the
future.
1t cannot be necessary to say much Of the con-
duet Of the literary department Of the Columbian.
The gentlemen who have so Iong and salisarto-
ry discharged that duty, continue their efficient
services, and the publisher is happy 10 annou. c.
that he has made arrangements with several Of
the most distinguished writers in this country,
whose regular contributions will enrich the Mag
aZlne; WHILE as heretofore, the merit OF an arli-
Gle, quite as much as the fame Of its writer will
be the passport 10 lis pages. Elevated sentiment
and pure morality will distinguish all the llera-
ture OF the Columbian Magazine.
The paper on which the Columbian will here
after be printed, is manufactured expressly for the
purpose by one of the largest and most highly es-
teemed makers in the Union, and the typography
will be of proportionate neatness and elegance.
The publisher respectfully soIicits from authors,
artists, subscribers and agents, a continuance of
the confidence hitherto so generously awarded
The Magazine. As an earnest OF the hberalty
with which he intends to conduct that depart
ment OF the work he has prepared, at a large OUT
