THE THIRD ANNUAL VOLUME
SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE

SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE,
Was commenced on Saturday, the 4th of May,
1850, under It's original name-instead of Richards
Weekly Gasette-as more 81 gnifcant of its peculiar
character, it being the only weekly organ Of Ltera-
ture in the entire South! 1t is
Greatly Enlarged and Improved,
Containing weekly Thrty-two Columns or
matter 1t is, moreover, in an
Entirely .he,o Dress
" from head to foot" and upon beautiful WINE
paper, that, in mechanical excellence, it is not
surpassed by any paper whatever in the United
States! 1t continues under the same Editorial
direction as heretofore, and no pains or expense
will be spared to make it
a Choice Family .Ne,cspaper,
g as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as the
best!' Utterly discarding the notion that a
Southern journal cannot compete with the North
erin weeklies, IN cheapncss and interest,
The Southern Literary Gazette
rivals the best or them in all the characteristics of
a trul valuable Preside Journal. It's aim is the
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste Throughout:
the coinmunity-and it embraces in its ample
folds ever species Of intelligence that can tend to
this result.
Original Contributions,
from many of the ablest writers in the South,
chiefly occupy It's columns, but not to the exclll-
sion Of choice miscellany, selected from the best
American and European sources.
The tone of the "Gazette' is independent y,
criticism and in the discussion Of every legitimate
topic, but 1t is strictly
Neutral in Politics and Religion!
Its columns are occasionally embellished with
Southern Portraits and Landscapes,
engraved expressly for the work, and accompa-
MED by biographical and typographical sketches
Its General Information
IS copious, but carefully condensed from the
leading journals Of all parts of the world
Notwithstanding the great increase in the size
and attractions of the paper, it is still published at

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF
The Southern Quarterly Review.

COMMENCED ON THE lsr OF APRIL, 1850, BY
WALKER & RICHARDS, Proprieiors 6. Publishers.
TERMS-S500 per annum, payable in ad-
vance.
| The publishers Of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as it
We're, fresh start in the pursuit of a well known
PROCESS. They cannot elbow themselves to doubt,
that-with all their former contributors, with the
addition Of many new ones, not less valuable and
ingushed-under the conduct still of Mr. w.
| GILMORE SIMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year-and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
henceforward issued in style very superior to
| that OF the past, on better paper, with fine new
type, and with a regard to neatness and finish !,
which will leave it second to none in the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
thar own endeavor and the claims Of such an or
gan seem reasonably to demand.
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number of the best and ablest names Of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with ma
tive earnestness force and fidelity, the real pol
| icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
| We entreat the people of the South, who feel
the importance of such periodical as the Review,
to excuse its Deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance, With their counte
| nance and concurrence it can become the estab-
lished organ OF domestic opinion-the champion
of our rights and character abrOad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
| at home--the arena in which the better minds of
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the proper provocation to execution and
| perPormance-the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
strant of crude and undigested speculation. These
are all objects of the last necessity to a civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by remssness and indifler-
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons of the
Review, induge for the past, and such sym.
pathy and support for the future, due to the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and the
character which it seeks to establish
