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this countenarice will not be Withdrawn, now that
the pubhcption, passing from the hands of the
former publisher into their own, makes, 1t
were, a fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselvesto to doubt,
that--with all their former contributors, with the
addition Of many new ones, not less valuable and
diatingnished--unde the conduct still of Mr.. w
GILMORE SMMs, it's sole Editor during the past
year--and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work VIII be
henceforward issued in style very superior 10
that OF the past, on better paper, with q nne new
type, and with reghrd TO neatness and 6nisli,
which viii leave it second to none in the country
they viii continue to receive that patronage which
.ns,r own enGeavor and the claims OF such an or
gan seem reosonabyto to demand
The writer's 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 q ma
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real poll
ley 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 defciences, 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 10 intellectual progress and proper taste
at home--the arena in which the better minds OF
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and Gnd the proper provocation to execution and
performance-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 indiiier-
ence, Once more, we ask from the patrons of the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such SYM
pathy and support for the future, as are due to the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and The
character which it seeks TO establish.

Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at grea

ever been taken In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
