THE CoLUNmAN MAGAZINE, for I848, edited by
JoHS lNNAN and ROBERT A.WEsT. A repository
Of the choicest American literature, entirely org-
nal, and the most ccsily original embellishments
The Columbian Magazine enters upon new
year with prospects increasingly bnghs and prom
sing. II has attained a ploud position in the
public estimation. The press universally, and
with generous kindness which The Proprietor
gratefully acknowl lodges, has borne testimony to
the superiority Of It's literature, and the prousion
and elegance Of its embellishments while It's Inn
mense aud constantly increasing circulation shows
lhal the press has but uttered the general sen:i-
menl, and affords such agreeable evidence that II
has met the expectation OF all, that II seems 10
the publisher almost unnecessary 10 speak OF the
future.
! Il cannot be necessary to say much Of the con-
duct OF the literary department OF the Columbian.
The gentlemen who have so long and satlsiacto-
rily discharged that duty, continue their efficient
services, and the publisher is happy TO announce
lhaa he has made arrangements with several OF
the most distinguished writers in this country,
whose regular contributions will enrich the Mag
azne; while, as heretofore, the merit ol an arli-
Gle, quite as much as the fame of It's writer, will
/ be the passport to lis pages. Elevated sentiment
and pure morality will distinguish all the liIera-
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-
leemed makers in the Union, and the typography
will be OF proportionaIe neatness and elegance
The publisher respectfully socits from authors
artists, subscribers and agents, a continuance o
the confidence hitherto so generously awarde
the Magazine. As an earnest OF the lberalIty
with which he intends to conduct that depart
ment Of the work, he has prepared, at Jorge out
lay, magnificent full length portrait OF Wash
ington, price 50, in stippIe and mezZoIn;, which h

superior merit, and :he subject is OF such profound
and abiding interest," thathe cannot doubt that the

licauon, it being understood that the subscrip'
tions are in cash.
