The Proprie,ors,sof the GENTLE
MEMS MAGAZINE are well aw are lha
several periodicals Of a somewhat similar
character have been published IN the
West, and that, after lingering through
an ephemeral and precarieus existence,
have been almost uniformly abaDdoned.
The, are fully convinced, however, that
lie rad cal cause ofthese failures consists
not SO much in the dis,nclination OF the
enl ghi ened people OF this " ertern land
to encuurge Home Literature "ss IN the
facl ihat The proprietors respectively nave
lacked adequate capt. al to ensure hrm
founoaiion for the work at the on act -
| This insuperable obstacle TO success ex
lists not in the preseu, ilagazine. Wheih
Ieru al first meets with the support which
its proprieturs dare to anticipate, stiil
! hey are determined that II shall appear
regularly for at least one year, on the
| 6,st day of every month; and In literary
matter and t,pographic execution, shall
not ue iaierror any Magazine ia this
untN. We are enot partlai 10 promises,
knowing that the smallest circumstances
'noJ,iy aud alter the iirmest resolutions;
hut ne venture to assert that The Gentle
mans .Magd-ine will be every thing which
the progress Of the age both IN Litera-
lure, Science, and the Fine Arts, may
rea,,ire-and that il will be such as the
West may proudly regard as her own
The Magazine will be under the editorial
control OF j Milton Saaders, well know
as an elegant. fneni, and vigorous writer
-aud JOAN NJ. Huntington, who viii take
general charge of The Review depart
ment. These gentlemen will devote theII
lexclusiye attention to the edIllng OF the
work, striving as much as possible to pro
cure vigorous. manly productions, anc
avoid the corrnptlng emanauons of INA
v,tis,ed taste and sickty sentimentality
50 predoinlnan, in the literature of the
present day. Every thing Of a Sec'araI
or Political nature, will be vigorously ex
clud ed from its pages. In a word, ii i
the intention Of our editors to furnish thei
readers with Tiles, ESSAYS, Poetry, etc.
emhody ying strength, depth, aud fervor
thought, mingled with The more brilliant
bat not less pleasng, delicate. and rehaes
eHusiou Of fancy and imag nation; and
therefore, although a CeRfiemda's Maga
zlne, it i, 10 be hoped that the enllghten
ed Lady will find in lie perusal much t.
CONNIE nd and admire. Tie rapid grow
of the West within the last few years
and the still greater increase OF taste an'
refinement, requires Magazine some
what similar TO what the proprletors con
template in the present. 1t Is true tia
the Publications of the East are wldel
dlssseminated amongst us; but must W
look abroad for our literature, while III
thousand unwiitten themes of the broa
West--lts noble forests, savage denlzen
> and fierce border warfare--remain in read
to deyelope themselves, under the intlu
ence of native talent, in all the pleasln
garbs ot romance and poes,! II would b
Invidious to assert this cognizant as W
= are OF the feeIin 5 and powers otthe read
); ers and writers oflhe West.
u 1t will be the continued TASK Of the Ec
nors Of the Genlleman's Magazine,
S reader it one OF the highest order, rely
e ING as they do upon the strong assurance
h, of the con inued aid of the ablest mlnd
e in The land, for its literary matter.
S The first number will be issued on ti'
h 1t day Of June next. at Cincinnati, Ohi'
