The experiment. made in this first number OF
the Repue du Noupsau Monde ia, perhaps, ha-
| rdous one, No publication of the kind has
hitherto been undertaken in this country by the
| Success of which The probabilities of fortunate
career could be calculated for the work OF mr.
de Trobriand. He comes as pioneer IN tnls
vet uninterrupted field there ore no failures TO
give warning of what is 10 be avoided, no gull
ding anlecetcn,s TO point out short and sure
roads To popularity. The experiment, therefore,
must be conducted by experience founded on
knowledge o. analogous undertakings, and re-
ouires 30 abundant stock Of Information, an IN
innate acquaintance with oil subjects connected
| with the duties which the conduct of Review
imposes; 4 of which this first number proves
to be possessed In an emiuen, degree by Mr.
de Trobriant.
But still there is much encouragement 10 %
drawn from this very circumstance, for there 10
no opposition 10 encounter, and there exists no
rival enterprise against which The Rerae @'
.Nonveau Monde would have 10 struggle. There
| is, therefore, much reason to hope that it will
meet with the success i. merits. A vacuum
which has long been regretted in our national
literature, is thus filled up. and 10 manner
which leaves nothing to BE- desired. Every DAY
brings some accession to tho growing impor>
lance and eeial of American letters; but few
new stars of tho periodical order promise
brighter light than the Que lba! is now rising.
Monsieur lie TrobIant, master OF tiuen',
pleasing and energetic style. narraies with
soriehtliness, describes with all The animation
and graphic interest of one who has travelled
much and observed we'll what be has seen, rea>
sons Justly and with force, and is every way equal
TO The task he has assumed. There is no lille re
semblance between The clear, correct and logical
sentences Of NJ. de T. and the beautiful type Sc
lsced icr III, printing OF the teXl; Than which
none bette! could have been chosen 10 please al
that read.
The pages OF the Revue Lu Nouveau Monde
will receive valuable contributions from many oil
the mos, talented writers Of France, in politics
and The various lighter species OF literature Full
and exact scientific Information relative 10 new
discoveries, and their applications 10 The nsefnl
arts, is a great desideralum, and may be expected
in every number OF the new periodical. The es--
sential points Of The greal European drama, which
is now lranspiring, condensed, and 81 ieced 10
the political judg n.cnt ol The first Publiclss Ut
France, are promised in such a tom as shall
render readers in the United States more familiar
with matters which bid fair 10 exercise direct
and momenlous influence on every portion oil
American affairs and interests. We regard this
work as most important agent for conveying 10
the American youth familiar knowledge OF The
French language, which is daily becoming more
valuable TO our growing country.
