PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF
The Southern Quarterly Review.

COMMENCED ON THE 1sr OF April, 1889, BY
WALKER q RICHARDS, Proprstors & Publishers
TERMS-S5.00 per annum, payable in adj
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this counenance will not be Withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands Of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as 1T
were, a fresh start in the pursuit of a well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themsevesto doubt,
that-wth all their former contributors, with the
addition of mary new ones, not less valuable and
Observation-Disclosures the conduct still of MIR. 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 a style very superior 10
that OF the past, on better paper, with fine new
type, and with n 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
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real pol
| icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
! We entreat the people of the South, who fee
the importance of such a periodical as the Review
to excuse its Deficiencies, and generously lent
themselves to its assistance With their counte
nance and concurrence, 1t can become the estab
lished organ Of domestic opinion-the champion
of our rights and character abroad--the guide ant
counsel to intellectual progress and proper tast
at home--the arena in which the better minds o
the country may always distinguish themselves
and find the proper provocation to execution an,
performance-the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re
strant of crude and undigested speculation. Thes
are all objects of the last necessity to civilize'
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise
or any thing to lose by remissness and ndifler
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons of tn
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym
patty and support for the future, as are due to tn
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and th
character which it seeks to establish.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.
EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MI

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biograph
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
llustrous in the service of the country. Every por
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten
hon and nothing will be spared to render it worth
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public. 81
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at grea,
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. MIR Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation His daguerreotypes are in tic
highest the works OF art, glowing with tie soul
of the living cpuntenance.
The drawings and engravings OF DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste TO be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, I6 by % inches, made
expressly Tor this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive IN its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have for them honorable
fame throughout the nation Each OF the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
uncnt to the great of the Republic whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to our ap-
peal for cncourag, ment and aid in connendable
undertaking. that its publication my make III
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping tie
illsrious men of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain il Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
